The Long Loud Silence

Wilson Tucker

Tomorrow's war – the war that could not be. The army of the United States was stationed along the length of the Mississippi River, guns pointed east – with orders to shoot anyone attempting to cross. For the Final War was not a war of the ultimate bomb, of atomic hell. It was a war of the tiny germ, the filterable virus, the disease that came to conquer a nation – and stayed to damn a world.
