In the year 1969, The balance
of terror, which the world had
come to depend upon, for the
maintenance of peace, was
disrupted.

T
he previous year had
marked a record in
the number of American
casualties in Vietnam and a
steep decline in support for the
war even among it’s staunchest
proponents. In an attempt
to avoid imminent defeat,
U.S. leaders orchestrated an
invasion into North Vietnam,
Laos, and Cambodia.
The broadened offensive
involved the deployment of
U.S. forces to Thailand and
required the mobilization
of reserves. This escalation
prompted China to enter the
war with the Soviet Union as
an ally. The protracted ground
war that ensued galvanized
countries across the globe to
take sides.
Soon most non-aligned and
less developed countries joined
the coalitions of the two major
alliances.

As the localized conflict escalated into a world war,
U.S. forces on the ground in Southeast Asia were
greatly outnumbered.

U.S. leaders decided to implement a plan long kept
under wraps, to use tactical nuclear attacks. These
attacks were to hit selective targets decisively with
relatively low-yield nuclear weapons.

They were to be aimed at ports, landing
places, supply lines, bridges, railways,
nuclear weapon facilities and airfields.
They were designed to bring the war
to an end, based on the model of World
War II.
But the U.S. had gravely
underestimated the reaction by
the Soviet-Chinese Alliance. A series
of nuclear retaliations proceeded,
dismantling communications and other
major infrastructures globally.

Isolated command posts on both sides
continued dispatching nuclear attacks
indiscriminately in any perceived
direction of threat, producing massive,
globe-wide radiation and a complete
ozone collapse.

Within 9 days, the planet had
been thoroughly cleansed of all
humanity and most other life forms.
Scorched by sun, the remaining life
continued to dwindle. However, an
unforeseen, simultaneous process was
invisibly under way. The unprotected
planet became gradually awash in
waves of a previously unknown, counter
radiation. It possessed an aggressive
neutralizing effect on the ionizing

gamma rays. Within one journey around
the sun, earth was free of the deadly
radiation. Slowly, the planet began to
heal.
A
dome anomaly that had formed
over a 57 mile radius in the Pacific
ocean had shielded one lone couple from
all the devastation: an American soldier
healing from his Vietnam battle wounds
and a beautiful young flower girl who’s
origins are unclear.

THESE WERE THE FIRST 29 PAGES OF ISNESS VOLUME ONE.
There are over 200 additional pages in this volume...
However, since the online visuals have nothing of the look and feel of a hard
copy magazine, which is the intended manifestation of this work, I chose to
limit the presence of this lesser, online format*
I want to encourage you to follow my Social media where I will be posting updates
about the journey towards print.
Whether it is printed by a publisher or self-published, you will be the first to
know.
Thank you for your patience!
