I began to develop my own story line of what had happened in this past and future history of mine intending to write a book. (This was, almost 30 years ago.) I let it sit for quite some time when, I was finally driven to start writing in 2008 after rediscovering this old bit of speculation.

I have watched a steady flow of Marvel moves over the last 30 or more years, and in those films there were always larger than life villains who were either diabolical clever or overwhelmingly strong and unstoppable. Seeing those morality plays of good verses evil, it never once occurred to me that the end of my country would come about not by great power or evil cunning, but by utter stupidity. An
