1. Aftermath
The Cuban Missiles Crisis went wrong and now the American people are about to start living with the consequences of the catastrophe.
From New England to the Pacific North West, from Washington DC to San Francisco Americans confront to their worst nightmare. Nobody wins a nuclear war. ‘Aftermath’ is about the first twenty-four hours of the new age, a novella length introduction to the Timeline 10/27/62 – USA Series. It is set in America and tells the Timeline 10/27/62 story through American eyes. At points in the narrative the books of this series will ‘touch base’ with, and offer alternative perspectives on the events in the other books set in the Timeline 10/27/62 World but each book in the USA series will stand alone. Some of the characters who ‘Aftermath’ will have appeared in earlier books set in the Timeline 10/27/62 ‘verse but many – most in fact – make their first bow in the opening book of the new series. ‘Aftermath’ is the first verse of the American story of Armageddon; the first twenty-four hours of the new era.
2. California Dreaming
It is November 1963 – thirteen months after the Cuban Missiles Crisis went horribly wrong. In this timeline the swinging sixties are not going to happen and the survivors, far from counting their blessings are beginning to wonder exactly what sort of World they have created. ‘California Dreaming’ is the second verse of the American story of Armageddon. In the aftermath of the war of October 1962 the United States of America had seemed victorious; but what price victory in a World half-wrecked and in which so many old friends have died? America has survived but has been changed forever. The fracture lines in the Union are widening and America’s time of trial, far from being over, still lies in a future fraught with what eighteen months before would have seemed like unimaginable perils.
3. The Great Society
In the alternative timeline of the post-Cuban Missiles War the swinging sixties never happened.
‘The Great Society’ is the third verse of the American story of Armageddon. To its friends and enemies alike the United States seems to have emerged from the October War battered, bruised but invincible. However, thirteen months after the cataclysm terrible wounds remain unhealed and the nation of liberty is riven by conflict. The United States is a country desperately looking to re-find its way; to re-discover its sense of nationhood and purpose. What has happened to the American Dream; is the destiny of the land of the free still manifest?
In Washington DC there had been an uprising; it is too soon to know if the attack on the Capitol is a coup d’état, a popular uprising or simply a massive terroristic assault on the seat of American democracy and government. What price unity when the war-ravaged states of the American North West and the Great Lakes already feel like battlegrounds in the next war? Across the West while incumbent Mayors and Governors are asking themselves how they will fend off the deafening clamour of ‘states rights’ movements; the Federal government is struggling to unpick the chaos of a failed coup d’état. The search is on for the traitors who even now still threaten the Union and the recriminations are just beginning.
What price the Great Society?
4. Ask Not Of Your Country
In the alternative timeline of the post-Cuban Missiles War the swinging sixties never happened.
‘Ask Not of Your Country’ is the fourth verse of the American story of Armageddon. To its friends and enemies alike the United States seems to have emerged from the October War battered, bruised but invincible. However, twenty months after the cataclysm terrible wounds remain unhealed and the nation of liberty is riven by conflict. What price unity when the war-ravaged states of the American North West and the Great Lakes already feel like battlegrounds in the next war? While racial tensions erupt across the South, civil war threatens in Illinois and Wisconsin, Congress and the Administration are deadlocked, and the alliance with the British disintegrates. While the Red Army surges south to the Persian Gulf in Philadelphia the Kennedy Administration turns a blind eye, intent on pandering to the most virulent strain of the ‘America First’ movement in election year. The survivors had honestly believed that the World had gone mad in October 1962. Now they are beginning to ask themselves how much worse things can get?
Tragically, the answer is that things can get a lot, lot worse. Never was Jack Kennedy’s inaugural appeal for all Americans to ‘ask not what your country can do for you’ but to ‘ask what you can do for your country’ more apposite.
