Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D-and the biochip he's perfected-out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties-some of whom aren't remotely human.

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.

This isn’t a story about the future. It’s a story about now. About a world where everyone knows disaster is coming—yet no one speaks. Where generals run “just in case” scenarios, knowing that the case is already on its way. Where nuclear war is no longer taboo. It’s a plan. Nuclear War is a global political thriller that begins with one strike—and ends the way the world might.

Others disappeared into camps, transit zones, and temporary centers where names can be changed, identities reassigned, and lives erased.

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.

Six months after the nuclear strikes, the world faces a new crisis. Not war. Hunger. Governments struggle to rebuild order as supply chains collapse and food becomes the most valuable resource on Earth. Borders fade and maps no longer matter.

One broken route can push entire regions into chaos.
