    Summary

    In 1940, hundreds of American pilots crossed the Atlantic and enlisted in the Royal Air Force to combat the Luftwaffe in the skies over Britain. Alfred F. Jones is one of them. When Arthur Kirkland finds out, the Battle of Britain becomes a difficult lesson in diplomacy and maturity as one Empire prepares to make way for the next. Rated for language and references to death/suicide

    Summary

    "Are you familiar with the painting done by Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam?" Alfred had written to his Russian friend. "I look at a globe, and that is what I imagine when I see the fingers of Russian America reaching out towards you. I imagine those could be my fingers, and we could be separated only by the Bering Sea."

    And Mr. Braginsky had said, "I would like that very much, Mr. Jones."

    And the American government said, "SOLD!"

    Summary

    In a perfectly inelastic collision, two bodies collide and merge, moving as one with a shared velocity. Kinetic energy is not conserved; a portion is dissipated irreversibly as heat, sound, or deformation. The system becomes inseparable—bound by the violence of impact, forever altered.

     

    (or)

     

    America and the Soviet Union are head-to-head in a race to the finish line of who can end humanity first. The Cold War is a game of chess, and the world is the chessboard. Unfortunately for everyone else, Alfred F. Jones and Ivan Braginski are the perfect pawns.

    Summary

    Vietnam, 1967. Marine Captain Alfred F. Jones, ostensibly born on July 4th 1942, is killed in action on a routine patrol at 0930 hours, twenty klicks from Quang Tri city.

    This is the aftermath.

    Or: Alfred, through the eyes of one of his men. Because not every human's experience meeting their nation is a good one.
