Command and Control #6
Proxy War
In the upcoming global showdown, the U.S. confronts a new enemy on the Artificial Intelligence.
In the heart of Central Asia, a strategic power play unfolds as the People’s Republic of China extends its military might. Under the pretext of protecting their Belt-and-Road projects, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) gains a stronghold in the region. Against this invasion, a courageous band of freedom fighters is the only challenge to the PLA forces.
On this geopolitical chessboard, the newly-elected U.S. President wants to make a bold statement against Chinese expansionism. Don Riley, recently appointed CIA Director of Operations, is chosen to spearhead the critical mission.
Don launches a clandestine CIA operation to aid the freedom fighters, but as the losses pile up, he realizes they are fighting a new enemy. The PLA harbors a secret weapon – Foresight, a quantum-powered battlefield AI. This advanced system anticipates and counters the resistance's moves with chilling precision, pushing Don to the edge. With each passing day, as Foresight's surveillance net widens, the window for effective resistance narrows.
Don and his team put everything on the line. As the resistance draws the PLA into a decisive final battle, he launches a covert team. Their neutralize Foresight.
Proxy War, the thrilling finale of the acclaimed Command and Control series by ex-submarine officer David Bruns and former naval intelligence officer J.R. Olson, is a high-octane military adventure. A must-read for aficionados of Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney.

Review: Techno-thriller set within the Asian continent with super powers vying for control.
I have written the review over and over. I basically go from hating to loving. Since I did not want to devalue the work based on my own enui, I forged on past my immeadiate dislike and found the various tropes palatable within the context of whole expression. You know, evilly hench guy etc.
To condense this review, the novel is one long fukin read of riveting action, and compelling characters coupled with a futuristic (or is it?) blend of field and warrior manipulation. Really thought provoking. Get this and be entertained.
4.3/5

The last book in the series and I really enjoyed Proxy War and hope there will be a new book in the series. Great cast of characters, really good plot line, and enough action to keep you reading. China, Russia, and America are all in involved in the power struggle in Central Asia.
Thanks to Severn River Publishing for the ARC of this compelling story of what happens when AI is introduced into war. Highly recommend!!

This is a book that I was given the opportunity to review in late November (or early December) by the authors (David Bruns and J.R. Olson), their publisher (Severn River Publishing) and the fine folks at NetGalley.
This is slated to be the finale for the Command and Control series and the premise of this novel is that in the upcoming global showdown between the United States and China, the United States confronts a new enemy as war strategy is now being provided at an exponential rate by the processing power of quantum computers (otherwise known as Artificial Intelligence (AI)). Artificial Intelligence is defined as technological progress has brought about the emergence of machines that have the capacity to take human lives without human control. In a world where brute force is no longer enough, AI is causing military strategies to be reshaped, giving technologically advanced nations a decisive edge in warfare. AI has been used to augment military intelligence
From a factual basis, the countries making extensive use of AI with regards to forming the basis of the military planning include Russia, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, South Korea, and the European Union. The extensive application of AI in warfare is arguably inevitable, which risks escalation of conflict from a limited conventional or proxy war into a rapidly spiraling high-tech war, driven by miscalculation and misinformation.
The premise of the story is that in the years following the Taiwan Conflict (between America and China), a conflict in Ukraine (between America and Russia), and the re-emergence of China as a military and economic powerhouse - a strategic powerplay begins to unfold in Central Asia as the People's Republic of China begins to extend its military might under the pretext of protecting their global infrastructure development strategy by the Chinese government to improve regional integration, increase trade, and stimulate economic growth (which is the definition of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)). The BRI was launched in 2013 and is planned to be completed by 2049. It involves investing in more than 150 countries and international organizations. China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a strategy initiated by the People's Republic of China that seeks to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks with the aim of improving regional integration, increasing trade and stimulating economic growth.
Under the pretext of protecting their Belt-and-Road projects, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) gains a stronghold in the region by having a portion of its military forces "invited" to "protect" Central Asia (which includes the following nations: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) from the "terroristic actions" of the SIF. Against this invasion, a courageous band of freedom fighters, led by Akhmet Orazov, is the only challenge to the PLA forces (supported by the CIA).
On this geopolitical chessboard, the newly-elected U.S. President wants to make a bold statement against Chinese expansionism. Don Riley, recently appointed CIA Director of Operations, is chosen to spearhead the critical mission.
Don launches a clandestine CIA operation to aid the freedom fighters, but as the losses pile up, he realizes they are fighting a new enemy. The PLA harbors a secret weapon – Foresight, a quantum-powered battlefield AI. This advanced system anticipates and counters the resistance's moves with chilling precision, pushing Don to the edge. With each passing day, as Foresight's surveillance net widens, the window for effective resistance narrows.
Don and his team put everything on the line. As the resistance draws the PLA into a decisive final battle, he launches a covert team. Their mission is to neutralize Foresight.
On a five-star scale, this book by the publishing team of Bruns and Olson is worthy of a vaunted five-star rating. Packed with heart-stopping action, ripped-from-the-headlines combat scenes, and page-turning twists, this military techno-thriller is a must-read for aficionados of the genre. Fans of Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Stephen Coonts, Andrew Watts, and Mark Greaney rejoice.
As with all my literary ramblings, these are just my five cents worth.

Another grand slam from Bruns and Olson
Reading Proxy War, Command and Control Book 6, left me conflicted. I’ve been highly entertained by each of its five predecessors and I Proxy War entertained me just as much. The way the story brought several loose threads from previous stories together while creating new loose threads for future exploration makes this story highly entertaining. Of course, the well-developed characters of this series each operate in somewhat predictable manners, until they don’t, and these deviations are what make the characters so engaging.
Earlier I said finishing this book left me conflicted. That conflict is due to the nature of this story and the author’s uncanny ability to predict the future with a fair degree of accuracy. If you wonder about their prognostications, all you need to do is go back to the first book of the series and look at the publication date then find the news about the start of Russia Ukraine war. So, the AI component of this book scares the h**l out of me. I guess only time will tell how well they have predicted the near future.
If you enjoy military thrillers that are more than just plausible with characters who seem like acquaintances, read the Command and Control series. But start with the first book or you won’t get the full impact of this series. I’m looking forward to the release of Line of Succession, the next installment in this series. I have to say, thanks guys, it will make a perfect birthday present.

I received an ARC through "Severn River" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
In this finale of the series, the story begins with Harrison embedded into a group of freedom fighters headed by Orazov. They have planted explosives and are planning on blowing a bridge that is part of China's Belt and Road Initiative in Central Asia. The attack is successful, but the response from the PLA is quicker than expected as a result the freedom fighters suffer a lot of death.
The story then follows with how the newly elected POTUS is to handle supporting the Freedom Fighters with arms. Riley, the CIA OPS Director, suggests that the U.S. and Russia work together. The President has concerns and doesn't want to work with Russia because she won't work with a dictator. Russia does not take this well and starts making plans.
Read along and discover the steps that Harrison, the CIA officer embedded with Orazov, and the fighters take once they discover that the Chinese have a tool that predicts where the attacks will happen along with providing tools to thwart the attacks.
The action is immense and the battles by the fighters start to wear down the PLA. Reading the exciting conclusion and discover who and what information was provided to bring the fighting to a conclusion.
Don't miss out, read this book now.

I am new to this series and jumped in at book 6 so I was not familiar with the main character(s). References are made to past operations, but you can easily jump into this series here and I now want to go back and read the first five. It starts off a little slow, and then the final 40% everything ramps up. I do not feel like this detracts from the read because the details help lay the groundwork as the scenario ramps up throughout. Multiple characters are introduced throughout, and it’s a great addition to see multiple sides to the same story. The potential for AI in future battlefields is very well thought out and integrated into the storyline. It’s both frightening and inevitable. As always though, the machine is limited by inputs and how it is used by humans. I think the authors did a fantastic job of showing both the benefits and the pitfalls of ever-increasing technological warfare. Highly recommend – very well written overall.

Can AI computers fight a war?
Imagine a time when an AI computer collects input, makes decisions, and executes strategy in a war. In Proxy War, that time is now.
The US is helping insurgents in one of the spin-off countries from Russia in keeping China out of the area. The Chinese have a puppet from the country as president. The Chinese also have a powerful computer helping find the insurgents and predicting strategy in defeating the insurgents. The outcome of this war is undetermined.
This book is the 6th in the series of future conflicts and how command and control works in those conflicts. It is not necessary to have read the previous books in order to understand this story. I wait anxiously for the next in the series.

#6 in the Command and Control series. Don Riley is dealing with a new president while there is a power struggle in Central Asia. The Chinese, Russians, and Americans are all trying to navigate the tricky landscape. China has a deadly new AI program that can control troop movements through out the region which could be a game changer for the world.
Very good thriller. As with the rest of the series, there is a lot of detail and a ton going on. This book had maybe a slight bit more tactical military movements, versus hand to hand combat. Don Riley is a great character trying to decipher what the enemy is thinking and stop it before they can take down US Interests.
I would recommend this book as well as the series.

Dissapointing
I have enjoyed the other books in this series, however, the technical details are lacking and becoming worse as this series progressed. There are many mistakes, meters instead of feet…submariners don’t use meters. The “president” is dense and arrogant to the point of unbelievability. The worst is just unforgivable. SEALs are special OPERATORS, not special FORCES! Special Forces are 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha. That’s Green Berets. Army. All tier one groups, like Navy SEALS, DEVGRU (Team 6), Marine Raiders, Air Force PJs, and Army Rangers, Green Berets, and CAG (Delta) are special operations. Special Forces or ONLY Army ODA’s. This is poor research for the sake of sounding cool. Lame.

Action scenes where “You are there”!
Another compelling read in this exciting series!
Situation rooms at the CIA, cabinet meetings with the President, on secret submarine missions with a seal team, and battles in Central Asia with the Chinese—-all situations so real that we feel we are there! It is hard to find a place to stop for the night!
Sometimes you can see where the plot is heading, but there are surprises as well. Some major themes are concluded, new ones added, and unfinished themes are further developed, just the way a good series should be staged. I eagerly await the next installment of this series.

Proxy battle for control over central asia
This is an excellent continuation of the Command and Control series. Although like previous books, it can be read independently but have read the previous books in the series will help.
This series is not about outright war but small contained conflicts between powers that want to control the world.
This book is about American, Chinese and Russians wanting a pie of influence in the Central Asia and they won't stop at anything in order to do that.

4/5. The latest on a series dealing with what could be real-world political issues. China continues its Belt and Road program, using spending, infrastructure investments, bribery, and troops to increase its presence and influence in Central Asia. It is encouraging the unification of some of the “-stans” and their/its submission to China. A local underground, as well as Russia and the United States, don’t like China’s increasing role in the region.

Proxy War
I usually try to avoid books about war, but I am really hooked on this series by the Two Navy Guys!! I've learned a lot of geography and world politics through their books, and I appreciated the reminder when Harrison pointed out to Nicole that this isn't just a documentary to the locals. This is their lives. Thank you, gentlemen, for another stellar reminder of what amazing writers you are!! I can't wait until September for the next book!!

Great Story!
Central Asia I have never considered that to be central to any story plot, let alone to be a conflict central point. However this Proxy War story showed me what little I knew could exist in another part of the world. China and Russia trying to gain a foot hold in an emerging country, battling for control of what I thought was open territory was inspiring! Thought provoking drama leaving me wanting more.

The book is a bit scary considering recent events in Asia. The scenario, using AI, for military operations is highly plausible. When tied to social economics and grey warfare, you have a scenario for chaos. Highly recommended as both a thriller novel and as a think piece for national security policy wonks.
January 21, 2025
If you liked the previous books in the Command and Control series, you will enjoy this latest edition. Fast-moving, wide-ranging pace, taking the reader to the top corridors of power in the world’s major adversaries. The authors build the tension well, and it all looks impeccably researched as usual. A great read.
January 21, 2025
I received an advanced copy of this book for my honest review. This another excellent book in this great series. It twists and turns throughout the book keeping the reader guessing and reading. The characters are all great and believable. This book and the series should be read in order as the main characters continue throughout the series. I can’t wait for the next book.

A great 2 way read
Interested in a book that you can't put down or in a book you have to put down to check a map or to find out what's real today? This can be read either way. For those that just want realistic action it will have you turning pages. Central Asia is seldom mentioned in the US other than Afghanistan, but this book is about the other Stans.

Son-of-a-gun, he did it to me again. He pulled the news straight from FOX
I didn't see it coming, I was right there!. I was stuck right in the news of what's happening right now in China. It seems our CIA doesn't know what to do with Russia and China. The back channels are open but no one is listening.

Expansive as ever
What's not to like!, global and intriguing start to finish and perhaps too close to some possible truths. I have read them all and have yet to be disappointed in any way. Come on the next one.

Riveting next edition in the Command and Control series.
Trouble is escalating in Central Asia with China and Russia and Don Riley, of the CIA, has been tasked with solving the problem. His undercover operative Harrison is embedded with the opposition
freedom fighters. China's AI quantum computer program, Foresight, is making the battle much more costly.
The action is non stop and the incredible attention to detail and exacting descriptions of covert operative actions, which are routine for this series, continues to captivate and make the reading
engrossing and completely non stop.
Great read.
