About this listen

Why do wars really start?

In Battlefield Ukraine, all the usual suspects are hard at work: battles over resources, money, and miscommunication. This predictive novel explores a potential war between NATO and Russia over the fate of the separatist regions in eastern Ukraine.... You'll hope this realistic scenario doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Lines have been drawn in the sand, but how firm are they? Will the massive disinformation campaign by the Russians trick the new American administration to do their bidding? Will the new American president back down, or will the world creep one step closer toward global war?

Brilliant first book if you like military thrillers. it sets up a good atmosphere for the next book in the series

Right up my street

As the title says if you liked the detailed descriptions of military tactics and hardware in Red Storm Rising you will like this. The characters and their motivations are paper thin but if you push through the first hour the rest of the book is great.

A parochial tale, heavy on the military technical detail and with the writing style of a 12 year old.
It could have been so much better.

Boring

I can appreciate the work that was put into this. The war proceeds largely as several thinkers and tacticians would have thought it would go had the Russian Armed Forces worked as advertised and the military knowledge of the writers is apparent besides some blatantly hilarious moments like a Russian Submariner referring to the Black Sea as an Ocean.

But there's no book here, no story. The characters are flat and uninteresting because they usually appear for one chapter or two, they speak like clichés on legs, a situation exacerbated by the supremely inept narrator. Seriously, most chapters are similar to After Action Reports and the flat and dead way that they are narrated elicits the same excitement as filing your taxes with the help of the most uninteresting accountant in the world.

A very underwhelming experience

Interesting perspective, not one usually seen in a novel.
However, the book ended leaving me to wonder if I should have downloaded the second half!

Only half of a book?
