Why is nobody reviewing this book??? I'll grant you, it's book 3 but it covers the past as part of its present so there's only the curiosity factor to make you want to reread the others. Recap: America is the underdog in an invasive war by Russians and China and the story centers on an effective faction in Alaska that is sheltering over a thousand people who are under imminent threat by the entrenched Chinese garrison and their leader whose companion is actually the wife of the rebel leader (but the American is positive that he had viewed her faceless body in her car at the beginning of the war) and nothing has been heard from the American's sons in the three years past. This is a very military book (I had to consult with others just because I am more familiar with flintlocks than AK-12 or belt-fed grenade launchers). There is a plot and it is well executed as well as intense and riveting. There are some very funny parts, too. No spoilers. My opinion is that any military inclined person would really get off on this one, not just the testosterone crowd!
I prefer the audio because it is narrated by the author-can't go wrong there. Besides, that makes it more portable.
