Yes, I had never heard of the author until the other day, found the series and have enjoyed the first book and a half. Can you recommend any other authors writing on the same subject that is as knowledgeable as the author. The first book slap me out of my slumber. 

 @d4f294ac 
I don't, unfortunately. Maybe the person who did the epilogue in the first book might have some publications on the subject? 

 @702770f5 

I need to go back to the podcast where I learned of this author, the interviewee mentioned several other authors who wrote in the same genre. 

 @d4f294ac 
I know he goes on Coast to Coast AM every now and then. 

 @702770f5 

If you view the wiki page, he has written many books.

I believe this scenario is must more likely than a general Hiroshima type attack, with a destructive blast wave and all the associated problem, such as nuclear winter.
