Fallout of War: Ukraine: Year One by H. Peter Alesso
A U.S. Navy submarine officer. A diplomatic post in Kyiv. And five months to prepare for the largest European war since 1945.
In the tradition of Herman Wouk’s sweeping wartime sagas, Fallout of War is a military thriller set during the opening year of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, following Lieutenant Commander James Fairbanks from his September 2021 arrival as naval attaché at the American embassy in Kyiv through the first twelve months of full-scale war.

Author Bio:
I love words, but that wasn’t always true. I grew up with a talent for numbers, leading me to follow a different path. I went to Annapolis and MIT and became a nuclear physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Only after I retired was my desire to tell stories reawakened.
In recent years, I have immersed myself in the world of words, drawing on my scientific knowledge and personal experience to shape my writing.
As a scientist, I explored physics and technology, which enabled me to create informative and insightful books, sharing my knowledge with readers who sought to expand their understanding in these areas—contributing to their intellectual growth while satisfying my own passion.
But it was my time as a naval officer that ignited my imagination and propelled me into science fiction. After graduating from the United States Naval Academy and serving on nuclear submarines during both hot and cold wars, I witnessed firsthand the complexities and challenges of military operations that seamen face daily.
This allowed me a unique perspective, which I channeled into creating Henry Gallant and a 22nd-century world where a space officer fought against invading aliens. Through this narrative, I explored the depths of human resilience, the mysteries of space, and the intricacies of military conflict.
My stories let me share the highlights of my journey with you. I hope you enjoy the ride. (www.hpeteralesso.com)
