An attack on the US would be assured destruction and end of civilization as we know it due to an “escalating attack on warning” of an incoming ICBM. Nuclear war is the end of all reason

Bone chilling description and narration of a theoretical bomb dropped on Washington DC. Knowing that these words on paper and whatever images my mind conjures up pale in comparison to the reality, is existential crisis producing. Probably not a great read for those prone to paranoia or unproductive nihilism.

So far even though this book follows typical tropes I actually enjoy it. Writing itself is good without being flowery and the plot is holding my attention. It’s not my typical go to book but I find myself actually liking and rooting for the main character.

So far I’m enjoying the pacing of the story. Enough plot to keep me engaged with just a dash of world building. A fair bit of confusion as it relates to the world building but I’m sure it will fall away as I gain more clarity reading the book.
