Breaking Point: 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 Allied retreat has reached the Oder River.
Russian forces have driven across Poland and now stand at the Oder River. The Allies, battered and retreating, have formed a fragile defensive line along the western bank. Beyond it lies Berlin.
If the line collapses, the road to the German capital will lie open.
As Russian artillery and air power pound NATO positions, High Command prepares a decisive strike against the center of the Allied perimeter - targeting the sector around the small German town of Bad Freienwalde.
Into this desperate moment arrives the American 4th Infantry Division - newly deployed, untested in this war, and thrown directly into the path of a massed Russian assault.
Outnumbered. Outgunned. Unproven.
The Russian plan is shatter the center, split the alliance, and seize Berlin.
Standing in the way are men who have yet to fire a shot in anger.
They are not expected to hold.
But the fate of Germany - and the survival of NATO - may depend on them doing exactly that.
Breaking Point is a fast-paced World War 3 technothriller of defensive warfare, massed armor, and infantry fighting under relentless pressure - a ground-level account of how modern war is decided when retreat is no longer an option.

Another good book by Nick Ryan. It is fast paced and is hard to put down. The benefit to Nick Ryan's books are that they are different stories, so you don't have to buy them in order because they all are different. My only complaint is the units are to small, but then they couldn't be individualized. With that being said, I highly recommend Nick Ryan's books.

In continuation of world war 3 stories, this is another one showing the realities of war for a soldier. Start to end this book gives a complete action - A defensive battle.caught by the Allies to.sabe Berlin.
