NUCLEAR WAR: HISTORY REPEATS (DAY ZERO • BOOK 10)An assassination attempt on the Monarch and the murder of the Prime Minister of Great Britain trigger events that cannot be stopped. What was meant to be a demonstration of strength turns into a public humiliation of the state. Belfast erupts. London loses its center of control. The royal family evacuates. Within hours, a local crisis becomes a struggle for power over the entire British state. Britain has survived nuclear strikes, hunger, epidemics, and years of brutal endurance. It held together where other states would have collapsed.

The blasts stopped. The dying didn't. Months after the strikes, the real disaster is simple: there are no medicines. A small cut turns septic. Appendicitis becomes a death sentence. Childbirth is dangerous again. Diabetes without insulin, asthma without inhalers, infections without antibiotics—people die quietly in apartments, shelters, and hospital hallways. Hospitals are still standing, but many operating rooms are useless: no anesthesia, no sterile supplies, no antibiotics. Doctors must choose who gets the last dose and who is sent back to wait.

After the war, the world learned a terrible truth: children are no longer only victims. They are labor. They are leverage. They are the future. Tens of millions have been left without parents, homes, papers, or any country able to say who they are. Some were torn away during evacuations. Others disappeared into camps, transit zones, and temporary centers where names can be changed, identities reassigned, and lives erased.

The Pacific is becoming the place where the world could burn again. An American convoy enters the waters near Luzon in the northern Philippines. First, its communications are cut.

She’s lost her ship, lost her job, lost her reputation, and is on the run from the law. Jez is a damn good pilot, and she’s always worked alone. Until she got picked up for smuggling, that is. Now she’s an ex-con and ex-employed, and there are plenty of people with old scores to settle. So when a mysterious stranger in a battered pilot's coat comes to her with an offer that sounds too good to be true, she reluctantly agrees to listen. All she has to do is fly one little job.

The world survived nuclear strikes, hunger, and epidemics. But peace never came. Now the struggle is about who will control what remains. The Recovery and Security Pact has become a new global center of power, uniting the United States, the United Kingdom, key European allies, Canada, Australia, Japan, and China. Its mission is to protect the remaining corridors, secure resources, restore order, and keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of blackmailers and shadow networks.
