Description

Police officer Peter Westmore is helping with the evacuation of Seattle when terrorists explode a nuclear bomb. Far enough from the explosion not to be killed, he is still forced to seek shelter with others in a cold-war era bomb shelter. There he faces hunger and thirst while longing to for news about his pregnant wife.

In the novel A Time to Endure we glimpse the end of Peter's life. In that novel his brother Caden is on a mission to destroy gangs and terrorists living on the fringe of the Seattle blast zone. During the fighting, Caden goes to his older brother's abandoned home and discovers Peter's body and two letters. The contents of one are revealed in A Time to Endure. The other is not.

Nightmare in Slow motion is a 13,000 word novelette set in the Strengthen What Remains series.
