Serpent Scales 4: The Lion in Fimbulwinter - Sweden
 |
When the Midgard Serpent fell to the Americans' nuclear fire in July 1945¸ Denmark and Norway sheltered Sweden from the worst of it: Sweden's survivors could shelter in their damaged buildings from the torrential rain that became torrential hail and snow. A near-civil war in the wake of Serpentfall forced the Crown Prince to flee¸ and a fragile coalition government holds a tenuous grasp on the reins of power. The Serpent's body lies humped and cloudy on the western horizon. The Americans have pulled back to the Rockies; the center of the British Empire removed to Australia. The Royal Navy can keep station in the North Sea¸ but the Red Army commands all of Europe east of the Serpent Curtain. Soviet agents and skulk and plot in Stockholm¸ Göteborg and Malmö...and there are far fouler things lurking in the dark winter night.
The country its people call Mother Svea stands alone.
