Fallout

Fallout plunges readers into a gripping alternate history where the Cuban Missile Crisis escalates into a full-scale nuclear war in 1962. Scott and his family, along with neighbors, find themselves trapped in a bomb shelter, grappling with dwindling resources, the terrifying uncertainty of the outside world, and the harsh realities of human nature under extreme pressure. The book explores themes of survival, fear, and prejudice, particularly racism, as the confined group struggles to coexist. It's a thought-provoking read that encourages discussions about history, societal tensions, and resilience.

When an unthinkable nuclear attack occurs in an alternate-reality 1962, Scott is forced into his father's bomb shelter with his family and neighbors, where they rapidly consume limited supplies and fear the worst about the fate of the world outside.
