Carl Berryman shares the idea behind his book “2025” with Al Cole from CBS Radio
Al Cole from CBS Radio interviews author Carl Berryman about his fiction book 2025 and talks about the real-world inspirations for the novel.
The book follows the story of an attack plotted by China and Russia against the U.S. and Europe, launched from the International Space Station, annihilating 95% of the urban and suburban U.S. population within two weeks.
To bust any attempt at retaliation, the invaders destroyed all the strategic assets of their targets and the western cities have become jungles ruled for a short time by gangs that carve out their own turf. Everyone is seeking food and water to survive while the others go on about their plundering and raping.
An EMP attack immediately magnetizes all internal combustion engines; airplanes fall from the skies; all unprotected vehicles immediately crash due to loss of control. Survivors wait in vain for a return to normalcy.
