The Clash of Steel: A World War 3 Techno-Thriller Action Event
"Nick Ryan knows his craft, and his topic. His World War 3 stories are tightly-written, fast-moving, with great characters."
- LARRY BOND
Co-author of Tom Clancy's 'Red Storm Rising' and New York Times bestselling author of 'Red Phoenix'.
The Third World War is about to reach its breaking point.In the heart of Belarus, at the city of Baranovichi, two modern armies are drawn into what may become the most decisive battle of the war.
With Russian forces stalled in Poland, a second Allied army punches north through southern Belarus, driving hard toward Minsk in a bold attempt to encircle the enemy. Their advance slams headlong into a hardened defensive ring around Baranovichi, turning the city into a killing ground of steel, fire, and relentless attrition.
For three brutal days, American units fight their way through layered fortifications, minefields, and prepared kill zones. Inside the city, Belarusian defenders brace for a siege they cannot afford to lose — knowing that if Baranovichi falls, the war itself may begin to unravel.
The stakes could not be higher.
The fighting could not be more intense.
And victory has never mattered more.
Clash of Steel is a fast-paced, modern military technothriller — a ground-level, blow-by-blow account of World War III as it could unfold today.

War is hell
This is a story about the hell of combat. In combat people die. The author of this story brings this home in a way that is extremely powerful. I could not put this story down until I finished it. It was a real page turner. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the particular genre.

Nick Ryan wrote another good ond
Great quick read. Characters were well developed and believable as was the plot. The fighting was from a big army perspective. Very well done. I am looking forward to the next book.

Wow
Another hit from the author! The detail in this book made sad! I could feel the pain of the characters. The author has done it again with this book.
