Red Gambit #7
Endgame - The seventh book in the Red Gambit series.
It is August 1946 and the world has fallen silent once more.
Peace.
A peace that one Alliance welcomes with open arms, savouring a real chance for the killing to end.
A peace that the leaders of another side welcome, seeing the end of combat as acceptable for another reason; so that their plans can foment and that their country might be prepared better for the new war to come.
A peace disregarded by others whose fanaticism will grant them no course of action but to continue the fight.
And a peace that yet another faction has its own ideas on and what purpose it might serve in their long-term plans.
Endgame relates the events from when the firing stopped to when Europe once again descended into a savage combat that ensured that the future of conflict on our planet would never be the same again.

Great series.
This continuation of the series is excellent. The authors handling of the death camps and the SS was interesting. The authors belief that the German people as a whole should not be condemned due to the actions of a small but powerful minority of the German population coincides with my belief. I served with Germans while in the US Air Force and found them to be outstanding people. We have a close German friend who grew up during and after WW 2 and her own stories of this period reinforce my belief. Looking forward to the next release. Thanks to the author for sharing his imagination and writing skills with me.

Such detail in an imaginary war
Outstanding battle descriptions, units and armies made up for WWIII. It's difficult to remember that none of this ever happened. Author stated he had planned on ending with this volume but had more to say resulting in another upcoming. A bit of it is found at the end of this one; just enough to whet one's appetite. Great but chilling read. Read the others first and in order so this one makes sense.

An amazing what-if
Once again Colin Gee has presented an intriguing book that really plays out the what could have happened scenario.
By this point in the storyline, it is pure conjecture on what could have happened. So many intangible points that make predicting a course of action nearly impossible.
That being said Gee continues to write an entirely believable book that one would almost have a hard time believing is fiction. The battles are realistic and not over the top lopsided to one side or the other. As the nature of war on this scale, the fate of battles won and lost ebbs and flows like a tide.
The intrigue comes page after page making you want to keep reading. Can’t wait to see how this ends.

Andy's Review
Downloaded this as I have read the first 6 volumes of this series and all I can say is wow! Absolutely brilliant! Sometime before Christmas I intend to actually buy this series, as they're novels I'd want to read again.

This series has been outstanding and this volume is the best yet. Less combat and more political intrigue setting us up for some potentially horrific outcomes in the next (last) book.

Despite its title, this book may not be the last in this series; many loose ends remain but the author hints at health problems. Nevertheless, Gee does a good job of intermingling politics, espionage, logistics and domestic matters despite uneven pacing. He also has no qualms about killing main characters.
