Shattered World : Madness Ascendant |Chapter 2

-

 

This is based on the old parts 4 and 5 of Book 7, but mostly re-written. Next I will begin advancing the timeline into new territory.


In Chapter 2 of Madness Ascendant, the war crosses another horrifying threshold as atomic fire consumes Baku, London, and Liverpool while armies freeze before Moscow and Leningrad. From Spain to Syria, North Africa to Japan, the conflict spirals beyond strategy into something darker: a world learning that even nuclear war may not be enough to make the fighting stop.

Major edit to Segment 55.3

Shattered World - Segment 53.3 "Leningrad und Smolensk, oder Tod" Nuclear fire blossomed like the all consuming brilliance of some ancient warrior god. In the middle, hell boiled and reached upwards for the heavens.

Shifting the viewpoint downward and out to sea, to the inferno that had been the Island of Okinawa. The battle lines are stark, brutal scars cutting their jagged path across a tortured terrain becoming more that of nightmare by the hour. Craters dot the land, making it appear like the surface of some hostile alien world. Off the coast, gr...

Shattered World - Segment 53.2.2 It was approaching 2:00 in the afternoon local time and the 500 B-31's flying high over the Pacific due east of Sakhalin Island stretched for miles and miles, formations of the huge bombers glinting in the bright sun like a string of pearls draped over the blue ocean below. Captain Dan Wood had been on nearly a dozen similar missions, but those had been to the south over Honshu and Kyushu. This was his first mission this far North, and from what intelligence had said he wasn't looking forward to what awaited him. This raid was the biggest attack launched against Japanese oil facilities on Sakhalin so far and it was also the first large daylight raid. But no one doubted that the Japanese were waiting for them. "Look sharp everyone, we're getting to within range of Jap fighters" Dan said into the mike, glancing at his co-pilot with a slight nod. And, sure enough, a couple minutes later word ca...
