Nuclear war would be the war to end all wars. This is how the world ends. But … The real battle for survival was just beginning. No one is immune from the horror of a war of extinction. The living will envy the dead. International bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, delivers up-all-night thrillers to over two million readers in 245 countries and territories worldwide. Aftermath Book 1 in the Nuclear War series delves into a chilling look where the pinnacle of human innovation turns into mankind’s greatest nightmare. President John F. Kennedy once said, “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.” As political leaders repeat the oft-cited statement, they still prepare for a wide-scale nuclear war scenario. Today, a new element has been introduced into the preparations— artificial intelligence . The United States, in its quest to rapidly and effectively defend the nation from a nuclear attack, has incorporated AI into its operation plan of response. "Akart's fiction becomes reality far too often. Aftermath lays out the nuclear war scenario in vivid reality. It is a cautionary tale of what's to come in our nation." But what if the artificial intelligence relied upon by the nation’s decision-makers is wrong? What if AI takes the controls of America’s nuclear response? Might it trigger nuclear war without justification? As leaders around the world have stated often, “ There’s no such thing as a small nuclear war .” “Akart is one of those very rare authors who makes things so visceral, so real, that you experience what he writes.” When a series of unforeseen events triggers a cascade of errors in the AI algorithms, the delicate balance between geopolitical foes is shattered. In less than an hour, nuclear warheads begin to detonate across the Northern Hemisphere from the Far East to Russia to Europe to the United States. With no functioning government, nations and societies collapse. Murder and mayhem rule the day. The aftermath yields the expected result. The gates of hell have been thrust open and ordinary citizens pay the price as they discover nuclear war may kill millions but the aftermath, nuclear winter, will kill billions. "From the first word read to the last page turned, I knew Bobby Akart had a brilliant, engaging, horrifying tale to be told." The Bartlett family is the fourth generation of lobstermen living on Swan’s Island in Maine. Billy and his sons operate a lobster fishing vessel while his wife, Tammy, runs the island’s fisherman’s co-operative. Their youngest daughter, Abbie, just graduated from Boston University. She’s preparing for her wedding to Coast Guardsman, Daniel Murphy. Good times and bright futures are being celebrated by the family as well as the other 350 residents of Swan's Island. Then, nuclear Armageddon struck them down with its mighty sword. “You are there. Feeling what they feel. Anger, joy, love, mourning. You feel it all. Not everyone can write a book like this. It takes a special writer to make you feel a book.” Aftermath is a gripping technothriller that explores the dangers of unchecked technological advancement and the profound implications of placing too much reliance on artificial intelligence. It prompts the reader to ask, “ With AI, are we summoning the demon and giving it control? ” Bobby Akart skillfully weaves the action between a relatable set of characters as they deal with the aftermath of nuclear Armageddon. Told in a blisteringly fast-paced way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, ensuring you can’t turn the pages fast enough. With over seventy novels published worldwide, Bobby Akart delivers intense, up-all-night thrillers that have you whispering, "Just one more chapter," until the end.
