Book Overview

The peaceful village of Middletown began it's days as it always did. The children went to school, the postman delivered the mail with typical timing and loyalty. Kenniston went to work his daily ritual without fail. In a millisecond life changed for the people of Middletown and the World. Cities burned one by one in the Nuclear Flames of World War Three. A small band of survivors vow to rebuild civilization once again.

Various hypotheses are considered to explain all of this, and the most unlikely might well be the one closest to the truth...
