Gleedhill No copyright 2013 by MadMaxAU eBooks ** 1 It starts December 20, 2020, 12.00 midnight GMT, D-Day for Earth, in total silence. At a height of three hundred miles above our blue planet, high in our thermosphere, twelve strategically placed EMP charges detonate simultaneously. They make very little noise or explosion, but the effects are no less than devastating for humanity. Each burst of EMP has been amplified and targeted to a specific one-twelfth segment of planet Earth, a bit like peeling an orange and splitting the segments. EMP, Electro-Magnetic Pulse, travels more or less instantaneously. Anything powered by electricity or has wires, your mobile phone, microwave ovens, your television, computers, light bulbs, street lights, power lines, cars, your home, hospitals, police stations, power stations, your nation’s ability to defend you, burnt out and gone beyond repair, all in a heart-beat. 12.10 GMT, fifty miles above our blue planet, the start of space, twelve perfect orbs orbiting in unison begin to release in measured quantities their lethal payload, a fine dust of viral content, very similar in genetic code to the 1918 flu virus h1n1, which at the time killed up to one hundred million people worldwide.
