Información sobre este eBook
In a scenario terrifyingly close to today's headlines, Harry's debut novel opens with a North Korean invasion of South Korea that leads, through a series of tragic errors and decisions, to a Russian nuclear attack on military bases in the U.S.
Like techno-thriller master Tom Clancy, Harry offers a sprawling narrative that focuses on a small army of soldiers, politicians and their families, American and Russian. National Security Advisor Greg Lambert must keep and tell secrets that may lead to Armageddon; Reservist David Chandler must leave his pregnant wife in order to drive a tank; U.S. President Walter Livingston, eager for peace, must endure the ignominy of impeachment; Russian General Yuri Razov must deal with the consequences of his initial decision to launch nuclear missiles. Ground, air and submarine battles alternate with scenes of anarchy stateside as exhausted leaders are forced to make instant decisions that might snuff out humanity forever. With a masterful grasp of military strategy and geopolitics, Harry moves his characters through nightmares of blood and death; his intricately detailed scenes of nuclear devastation are particularly horrifying. Told through a series of rapid-fire climaxes, this novel, a political and military cautionary tale of considerable power and conviction, will keep readers riveted.

A pesar de tener unos años su manejo de los eventos se podría amoldar muy bien a la situación actual, es tan detallada la narración y el curso de los eventos como los libros de Tom Clancy, aunque en mi opinión personal este libro es mejor que Red Storm, el libro es genial y narra de manera increíble los sucesos de una guerra nuclear limitada, el drama humano y la guerra convencional y nuclear entrelazadas, un muy muy bien libro, te hace pensar en querer ya que desmantelen las armas nucleares.
