Outstanding!
Nobody combines science fiction and military action adventure better than Jeff Edwards. We know of the horrors of EMP, but in Damocles Edwards explains it credibly amid a plausible and human story. His Towers and Blues series are unforgettable, and with Damocles Jeff Edwards combined the genres in a timely, educational, and utterly gripping way. Don’t miss.

The Sword Is As Sharp As Ever
The Damocles Agenda, brings the old fears back to the surfaces. Wonder no more as, Jeff Edwards spins the next great arms threat to light. I very much enjoyed the characters and the ISS, is a cautionary tale of; beware whom you trust. The short lesson on what the whole Damocles legend, sets the tone of be careful what you wish for. It is a roller coaster toward oblivion with a motivation of guile, spit and bailing wire to save the day. Definitely a must read for Military Fiction Fan!

This was a GoodReads giveaway win of a signed paperback book.
Kept me on edge. Books that make me anxious I find I have a hard time reading in one sitting. The tension makes me have to take a break during the read. I kept having to put this book down to ease my anxiety. Full of an all too real possible threat. Just how will our heroes get the upper hand? All I could think to do was to unleash a nuclear firestorm. Good thing cooler heads prevail.
This is a book I will be re-reading before I loan it out to my friends.

Russia develops an electromagnetic pulse weapon and demonstrates it's effect on the US by wiping out all electronics in a large city. Then holds the world to ransom. Well paced and research and easy listen

Really enjoyed this but could have done without the authors notes at the end where they felt the need to explain all of the ways that things mentioned in the book are different to real life.
It’s fiction. You’ve written fiction. Not a text book.

Decent novel
I will admit to “scanning” sections of the book that didn’t seem to be contributing much to the overall book. May consider another book by the author in the future.

This was a good book, along the lines of a Tom Clancy novel. Fairly technical in spots, but still a quick read. I was disappointed a bit in the ending.

Fast moving techno thriller and, like Edwards' other books, it is all technically possible. Fun read!

ok
Enjoyed the action sequences with good characters but the long sections of technical stuff were very off putting for this reader.

Again author Jeff Edwards brings a tale of global conflict with horrifying reality.
The Russians have brought an EM PULSE WEAPON aboard the ISS and demand the surrender of all nuclear weapons from all other nations. In short, they want to take over the world and they demonstrate their resolve by unleashing the weapon on the United States.
Can they be stopped in time?/ The Doomsday Clock is ticking.
I was particularly pleased with the extensive bibliography the author has provided. Surely enough to guarantee many a sleepless night.
A ripping yarn.

A Great Surprise
I listened to the audiobook with the great narration from Stefan Rudniki and Gabrielle de Cuir - they really brought the book to life.
If you read the book's description, then you pretty much know what the book is about. I had not read Jeff Edwards before and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the story and its execution. Many authors these days crank out books with passable grammar and language. It is a huge pleasure to read a book written by someone who has a real command of the English language. It stands out, particularly when read by a greater narrator.
This book captured my interest right from the first page and kept me engaged right to the end - I even read the Author's note. I found the science very interesting and realistic. Edwards provides great detail when it describing actions like preparing for a nuclear strike or navigating within a zero-g environment. Edwards does admit that he took some creative license with the realism so that it could fit the storyline - like by depicting the orbital path of the space station so that it enables the story.
I felt that the book wraps everything up very nicely and does not leave anything outstanding. Of course, but I was kept on the edge of my seat all the way to that conclusion.
Great book - I think I will check out his other books.
