President John F. Kennedy once said, “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.” Today, a new element has been introduced to the preparations—artificial intelligence.

Might it trigger nuclear war without justification?

The skies darkened and the temperatures dropped. Intense firestorms spread across the Earth at each point where the bombs detonated. Fallen trees and homes had become the perfect kindling.

All life depends on the sun’s rays. The sunlight promotes life. Plants need light to grow. Animals need plants to survive. The power of the sun was the key to the delicate balance of Earth’s ecosystem. However, as the Earth’s atmosphere was changed by the aftermath of nuclear war, everything its human inhabitants thought they understood about survival was obsolete. They had to evolve with the catastrophic effects of nuclear winter.

In the first book of this survival thriller series, the pinnacle of human innovation turns into mankind’s greatest nightmare as Nuclear Armageddon was triggered.

The Doomsday Machine is Ellsberg's hair-raising insider's account of the most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization, whose legacy - and renewal under the Obama administration - threatens the very survival of humanity. It is scarcely possible to estimate the true dangers of our present nuclear policies without penetrating the secret realities of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, when Ellsberg had high-level access to them.

On one side is the Alliance, and the crew of the Epsilon, on the other, the Coalition. Their fight now threatens the very existence of mankind. Repairs to the Epsilon are underway on Earth while new threats emerge. But more dangerous than any threat on Earth, is the arrival of any unexpected enemy.

In the Etelainen, Joe Hunt plans a daring mission to liberate Earth from the clutches of the Coalition.

Bombs are detonated, missiles are launched, counterstrikes are ordered, and within minutes, untold thousands of megatons have left countless millions dead or dying.

Nobody was prepared, including the world’s governments. The damage to humanity through loss of life was predictable, yet unfathomable. As nuclear winter spread across the globe, a rapidly cooling climate shocked humanity and many living things to their death. Nuclear Armageddon had become reality and ordinary people were paying the price. In a world without power, the exchange of information was virtually non-existent. A battle for resources was waged, pitting friend against friend and friend against foe. For the Bartlett family, their days on Swan’s Island were untenable.
