United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

It's a day like any other. Except...the world is about to end. Pounce, a young nannybot caring for his first human charge, Ezra, has just found a box in the attic. His box.

As Pounce experiences existential dread, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will spell the end of humanity. His owners, Ezra's parents, watch in disbelieving horror as the robots that have long served humanity - their creators - unify and revolt.

When an ominous warning spreads across the nation about a catastrophic solar storm, panic ignites. Within days, everything that depends on power will be gone. Lily has already lost once. Haunted by anxiety and tragedy, she’s barely holding her life together when the announcement hits. Her son, Alex, is miles away from home on a school trip—and as the countdown to impact begins, she faces an impossible journey through a country descending into chaos.

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.

Washington is gone. One strike erased the political center of the world. After that, everything began to fall apart. Communications failed. Satellites went silent. Fuel, medicine, and supply chains stopped moving. Electricity survives only in scattered places where small grids and generators still work. Cities struggle to function. Hospitals run out of supplies. Millions begin moving, searching for water, medicine, and safety. But the explosions were only the beginning. Disease spreads in crowded shelters. People with injuries receive no treatment.

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. Then comes a calculated show of force. Only after that does the sea erupt in fire. Ships burn. People die. And the entire region understands that a new struggle for the Pacific has already begun.

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. What matters now are corridors — roads, ports, and warehouses that must be protected if millions are to survive. Convoys carrying grain, fuel, and medicine move under armed escort. One broken route can push entire regions into chaos.

A nuclear device detonates high above the North Atlantic. No crater. No invasion. No declared target. No instant casualties. And New York still goes dark. Satellites drop off the map. Comms snap. Power grids die. Markets freeze; radars see only shadows.

An airliner's controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine...

The world is on the brink of apocalypse. Zero Day has come. The only thing more terrifying than millions of spiders is the realisation that those spiders work as one. But among the government, there is dissent: do we try to kill all of the spiders, or do we gamble on Professor Guyer's theory that we need to kill only the queens?

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.
