Summary so far: The Great Nuclear War of 1975

Ok, we've been through the 42,000 words of The Great Nuclear War of 1975. Here's a chapter and scene breakdown:

We need to add a few vignettes. In this novel these tend to get long, usually a thousand words plus. Finishing the Alaska pipeline chapter gets us to 50,000 words. At this point we really have no idea what happens next or how far to take things. 

Here's an interesting idea. Becuase there's no USSR and barely a United States, there's nobody to restrain regional powers and ward off regional wars. The Israelis and South Africans have already popped some nukes. What if someone else does it (India? China?) and President Rockefeller orders a nuclear attack to destroy remaining stockpiles.

We think the final chapter is a summary of what happens next in the form of a future history. We know the Epilogue is two air force officers reviewing the nuclear exchange in reverse.
