Unfortunately this story is way too possible
Should we all move to Alaska and become survivalists?
Nope that would ruin it for the real survivalists
Humanity is its own worst enemy
The unthinking people will kill all/most of those that are prepared
My GOD save us, because most do not care enough

Well one word in the title was right
Worst spin off of the series. Wouldn't even worth looking at it for free. Not sure what else could be said about it but had to keep writing so I could post the review.

Must read material for world leaders
Not to blame the Chinese, but people are only people, subject to all the destructive emotions and thoughts of our species. The attack in this story comes from computers, but did you know that the Chinese government actually own much of America? It's a weird thing, but they went all out and bought up milions of municipal bonds. This is money borrowed by our government at every level to create special projects like museums, and sometimes to just run the city. The Russians have hacked many of our supposedly securest systems. I'm sure there are other dangers ask well; these are merely the ones in public knowledge. We can fight against a dystopia we can orepare for, and I urge all of us to learn how to function with low tech, in at least one vital area. Can you use hand tools, cook on a rocket stove, keep crops alive without chemicals, knit, make plants into medicine? If we lose all these skills, we humans are vulnerable to extinction in the event of a technological collapse. You don't have to go crazy and learn everything, but get good at one thing, then pass your knowledge on. At a minimum, each of should learn fire-starting, cooking, shelter making, food gathering, water treatment and fishing &/or hunting. No unicorns, but skulls. 9/10 ☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Unfortunately, a possible scenario
What a terrible subject to try to write about! Who do you blame? Is it less painful to blame Mother Nature (after we've had our way with her) than another country? Then again, aliens are the perfect scapegoat! Not our fault at all, then. This story is well done. The two-part format is slightly confusing, but I'm tired. Parts seem slightly ridiculous, but it'll probably end up being something completely stupid, a misunderstanding, or auto-correct going on a rampage to bring us the end! Look at politics...there's too much ridiculous nonsense where there should be logic, intelligence, and pride. I think I'll give it an 85% chance of stupidity to bring the end.

Shorter than I expected
I ran across this after I had already read all of the Terry Henry Walton Nomad series and the Bad Company series that followed. I had read all of the books in the original Kutherian Gambit series with Bethany Anne several months earlier but wasn’t aware of the scope of the different books that make up the 150 or so books that comprise the universe.
I was familiar with some of the WWDE because of this but thought this book would flesh out the story. It gives a little more depth of the details but it could’ve easily been twice as long as it seemed to mostly be a thumbnail sketch with most of the details mentioned in passing.
Still worth a read but it could have been better.

This is an attempt to describe the downfall leading to the Terry Henry Walton stories.
The first half of the book told the details behind the World’s Worst Day Ever WWDE, in a descriptive but factual manner, the second half was described as a story. I felt it failed badly as it mainly repeated the facts and descriptions of the first half with very little extension into any particular characters.
I love the Bethany Anne books as well as the Terry Henry Walton chronicles but this book is far too dry without any details pertaining to the characters in those books and little about any new personalities either.

Part I was interesting and I was looking forward to what Part II would offer. Unfortunately the writer was too lazy with this book as they decided to take Part I and copy it over, then add some extras to it. So far this is the only book in the Kutherian series that I was not happy with. What's worse is the publisher didn't see the issue and went with it. I'm glad I have Amazon Kindle Unlimited as I didn't have to pay for the book that was not worth the price to read.

Read the last half only.
Out of all the books I have read in this universe so far, this one was just ok. You can either read the first half or the last as, with a few minor inculsions of additional character pov and info they are the same short story. I recommend the last half as it has those povs I mentioned. Its fine to read about what happened to Earth afterwards but all I cared about was finding out about what happened to Yuko!

Scary but Good
This book was to close to what reality could be but does explain a lot of what and why happens in future stories. I'm lucky in that I came to the Kutherian universe after a lot of the side books were written so I am reading them in chronological order. If you are just starting I suggest you do the same. Enjoy!

Awesomely, horribly, gruesomely possible...
... and maybe even probable.
In my mind, this ranks right alongside Michael Chrichton's ”Debt of Honor” for prophetic fiction. In my mind, this is one of the top 2 ways the world we recognize will cease to exist. (The other is a global financial crash)

Loved
I kept coming across this book not realizing that it was part of the Kutherian Universe. Now I see what WWDE stands for as I saw it in another series in the Kutherian Gambit series.

One repetitive chapter and not a great chapter. The idea was good so I gave two stars instead of just one.

short short story
The story is told basically twice with very little added detail the second half. It was like reading a memo more than a book.
