Publisher Description
“Superior to Tom Clancy genre, with characters that came alive…and the military aspect far more realistic.” THE SPECTATOR
The strategy, the weapons, the human story. It can happen.
THE NEXT WAR
In the Pacific—Off Korea's east coast, 185 miles south of the DMZ six Russian-made TU-22M Backfires come in low, traveling at Mach .9. Each carries two seven-hundred-pound cluster bombs, three one-thousand-pound "iron" or high-explosive bombs, ten one-thousand-pound concrete-piercing bombs, and fifty two-hundred-pound FAEs (fuel air explosives, closely related to Napalm).
In Europe—Twenty Soviet Warsaw Pact infantry divisions and four thousand tanks begin to move. They are preceded by hundreds of strike aircraft: SU-24/Fencers for ground support and MiG-29s with air-to-air Alamo and antiradiation, antiradar air-to-surface missiles, with Russian NR-30 mm tank-destroying cannon. All are pointed toward the Fulda Gap.
So it begins....WW III
Customer Reviews
Fantastic potential
I like many others grew up reading Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising and was instantly sucked in to a binge read lasting 2 days. This book captured me in a similar way and I’ve read it in the same 2 days. The book is a fantastic read and I love the storytelling but do have a couple of minor criticisms. The book builds a portion of the story in a gripping way, it builds and build but then in the course of 2 pages wraps up portions of the narrative I was enjoying. An example was Freemans “raid” which built nicely until the story abruptly ended over 1 page with everyone back on board ship. It didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the book but did leave me wanting more. That minor grip aside I will be downloading more from the author
