This is a work of fiction, at least to the extent that the material presented as fact herein did not come together in real life as the author has written it. Some of the events are fiction and some are extracted from the After Action Reports written by the shaking hands of the individuals who were there. 


The Author has chosen the U.S. and the U.K. as the two principal governments living with this nightmare, but there is no guarantee that they were the ones involved. The Author has also chosen the government of the former USSR state of Georgia as the unwilling recipient of the missing A-Bomb. Georgia was chosen because if the events portrayed within this story were to ever come to the light of reality, it would be the most likely candidate, or maybe not.


Most of this story is written around three U.S. civilians' contractors who are given a large amount of government power to solve the crisis, which may not seem feasible. However, if you have ever lived in the upper echelons of our governments high archery and have been one of the government characters always looking for plausible deniability as a shelter to the questions of who knew what and when, you will understand.


The real fairy tail part of this story is where our lead characters successfully recruited the majority of the governments of the world to collectively join in the search for the missing A-Bomb, cooperating with one another as never before. It's a nice thought, but is it realistic? We would only know that if the whole world were ever exposed to the thought that a loose A-Bomb could be in any one of their respective neighborhoods and cooperating with one another was the only solution.


As the last comment by the Author linking this novel to reality the fact is presented that the number of civilian contractors and civil servants working for the government at any one time in the last decade exceeds the number military personnel on active duty. It also exceeds the number of eligible voters not working for the government. 


The principal character of our story is the WE.177 A-Bomb, manufactured by the British circa 1966 with technical and engineering support from the U.S. The origin of the plutonium employed as active ingredient in the WE.177 is supposed to be a secret, but I think you can guess where it came from without having to read the return address on the shipping create.
