A pretty good conclusion to the WWIII series. I won't lie, I was a little disappointing that the US didn't beat the Chinese into an unconditional surrender. But, the introduction of all of the new military tech was very cool. The new Pacific Fleet was a powerhouse long needed, and their retaking of control of the Pacific was well played. I also enjoyed the interesting way in which Rosone brought the war with Russia to an end. The other great part of this book was the beginning of the new space age. Although I can't say that, realistically, I would have done things differently regarding the end of the war with China; I was still disappointed that after all of the problems, deaths, attacks and invasions inflicted by China that the US was so easily willing to capitulate to a peace treaty far from what they had intended. I think if this story were to continue China would be back to challenging US superiority again in the future, once they had enough time to catch up technologically.
P.S. Great move with christening the USS Donald J. Trump supercarrier. Props for that one James.

This was an author that I had come across through a Facebook group that I belong to, Military Thriller Book Group, and his Monroe Doctrine series. I have also been fortunate enough to have some contact with Mr. Rosone and have provided some basic editing services for his series, as part of his ARC group.
After being exposed to this author and his Monroe Doctrine series, I was fortunate enough to find some of his earlier works through PDFDuck and OceansofPDF websites and have been able to read some of these earlier books and enjoy them with the same zest that Rosone's MD series has brought me.
This book is the conclusion to the World War III series, with the United States in the ending months of the war - having already defeated the Islamic Republic (in book 2, I believe), having survived the invasion of the continental United States (in Alaska by both the Chinese and the Russians), the treacherous loss of one of their longstanding allies in the Pacific Theatre (Japan), the invasions of both Hawaii and California (by both China and Japan - in book 3 and the early part of book 4), and the use of Special Forces attacks throughout the United States (again by Japan in book 3 and early part of book 4) - utilizing the skills of "white hat" hackers and their Zero-Sum exploit against Chinese exo-skeleton battle suits during the invasion of California, their hacking skills against the financial infrastructure of India, and their hacking skills to shut down the "smart technologies" that are prevalent in Japanese culture. The book winds down with the contemplation and eventual invasion of mainland China, and the finale being the successful negotiations for peace between the Chinese and the Americans - following the "horse-trading" between Premier Jingping and President Stein (with Stein getting the terms that he wanted) that ultimately lead to the creation of a New World Order, as the United States leads the foray into the exploration and colonization of outer space.
Overall, this was another great series written by Rosone and Watson that I think would be enjoyed by readers of military and political literature. I found that there were a few areas of concern with the series, namely a few typos and spelling errors ("artic" instead of "arctic") that would only be noticeable (or of significant concern) to the "anal-retentive" reader. All in all, another great series by Rosone and Watson that I would easily give a solid rating for four and a quarter stars out of five (which rounds to four stars in Goodreads).
As with all my literary rants and ramblings, these are just a few thoughts from the trenches.

TERRIFIC SERIES
I’ve waited till the end to review this series of books. Too often a series starts off wonderfully, only to drift off into flights of fantasy, or simply loses steam. In this one, authors Rosone & Watson kept the suspense up. Kept the characters on point. Believable. And likable
I only had a few small criticisms. The first is that, near the end of this 4th & final book in the series, things seemed to be rushed to a conclusion. Which, in a long series, can be expected. I just felt like this one fell off a bit of a cliff. But, true to the series, everything wrapped up. Characters were there at the end, as expected. And the story came to a notable conclusion.
The last critique is a personal one. As a Marine who served for 2 decades, I constantly cringed when the authors said something like, “The Captain was glad to see that most of his soldiers had survived, again.” This, from a Marine Corps Captain, supposedly. Thankfully, I cannot ever recall any Marine here calling those he served with “soldiers”. For that would NEVER, EVER happen. Not that there’s anything wrong with soldiers. Just that they’re different from Marines. As are Sailors & Airmen.
‘Nuff said . . .

Like the previous books, I noticed a couple of spelling mistakes which proof readers should of caught. Examples in the first two books when speaking of the Mediterranean Island and country as Cypress (a tree) should be Cyprus. And in the 4th book it mentioned the Chief of Staff in "toe", should have been "tow". Probably a problem with "auto correct" in both examples.
For me the stories all held my interest throughout, but I wish I had known the final out come of the war in Mexico besides we won. And what ever happened to the British invasion of Russia through Norway? Which Scandinavian countries were invaded by the Russians? Nothing about that until the the end of the war in Europe was being discussed.
I'm also trying to figure out how the Chinese could use nuclear weapon against the US and not get the same in return as the Arabs did.

The author wrote this on a drunk, I suppose. Else, it would be coherent. Though set in 2041, there are some super weapons that come straight out of nowhere at just the right time. Author doesn't understand how the chain of command works; clearly FUBARs the tactical situations using journalist words and not military jargon. The latter makes the book loose it's military flavor and enter right into Hollywood. There are also little political asides, like the Freedom party, a congressional conversation about term limits and an aircraft carrier named Donald Trump. This book caps what could have been an interesting series with just, plain drivel.

A JR. & MW. Military Action Thriller (WW. III. - 4) USA vs It's Enemies
JR. & MW. Have. Penned the fourth novel (WW. III. - 4) which contains discoveries of whom was responsible for the changes and shutdown of the total Cyber System. The USA is definitely prepared to go to any length to destroy the person's responsible for those activities. The really surprising thing is the number of alleged partners that were engaged in those activities. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

A fine conclusion to this four book series. As the story begins, the US is on its heels and it looks dire for the country. But science and technology are part of the buttresses of the nation and they come through. What actually happens to several of the characters that we’ve watched throughout the series is left unknown, but a few have their future elaborated on. Altogether, a great series that keeps you glued to your seat and offers an update to Clancy’s Red Storm Rising. Five stars.

It's Over.........
I very much enjoyed reading the final book in this series. At the beginning I wondered how the war would conclude by the end of the book. I was not disappointed. The ending felt complete without being forced. I look forward to moving on to the next great Battlefield adventure series.

This final book of the series was good
This series was written very well. I could have even wished more technical and combat scenarios were added. After reading the entire series I would have been happy with more character development, combat scenes and more technical information..

A thrilling read.
This is the second series by these authors that I have read. These books are informative, predictive and very entertaining. I was never bored while reading these books and was saddened by their conclusion. I am a fan and look forward to more of their works in the future. I highly recommend them it reminds me of works by Tom Clancy and Larry Bond

Pray It Is Fiction, Believe It Is Prophecy!
Have read all four books in six days, was difficult to put them down. As a VN vet, hate war and colonizing, but believe there is more truth than fiction in this fantastic series. Pray we can avoid this scenario or a civil war to preserve mankind and the USA.

This book brings finality to this very well written series... I've chosen not to expound on the ending and spoil it for the reader... Needless to say it was an interesting and spectacular ending to this series ...

Not as Good as Books #1-3
I’m glad to have read this Book #4, but it seemed to mostly be a quick conclusion to a long Series — and it was not as well written nor as thought-out as its predecessors ... much of it seemed “rushed”, just to bring things to an ending.

Very good series
I highly recommend this series! It's one of the best futuristic war stores I've read, I could not put the books down until I had read all four. Very well written with good analysis.

The last book of the World War III series. Whereas this title states cyberwarfare, it is a continuation of the war. The battles have moved to Southern California. There is quite a bit of cyberwarfare involved but it is blended in nicely with the entire story. Scary.....

Continuous Action, Great Characters
I loved the plot and grew to believe the characters were alive. I pray there’s a sequel set of books that flesh out the space exploration aspect.

Awesome book and series
This book along with the rest of the series are fantastic. All the characters well thought out even the short ones that tell the feeling of what the reader may be feeling at the time of the story.

The ending leaves a lot to be desired
The ending leaves a lot to be desired. Feels rushed. Like their other series the bad guys still aren't fully defeated and are left alone for peace.

These authors do a wonderful job of putting the stories together. They are technically adept and don’t make many mistakes in that area. Very entertaining series here. I have read every series they have written and enjoyed them all.
