What Will World War III Look Like? Ghost Fleet is a page-turning imagining of a war set in the not-too-distant future. Navy captains battle through a modern-day Pearl Harbor, fighter pilots duel with stealthy drones, teenage hackers fight in digital playgrounds, Silicon Valley billionaires mobilize for cyber-war and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta. Ultimately, victory will depend on who can best blend the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future.©2015 P. W.

An insightful vision of future tech but little more. You will be hard-pressed to remember the characters' names and will care little for their circumstances. Too many are introduced and then killed before you have any time to become invested in them.

The story itself goes into great detail and does quite well to make the whole premise seem plausible but is otherwise not terribly compelling. With no emotional attachment to any of the characters, I felt detached from the entire cascade of events as though watching as a neutral observer.

Ultimately though I can't help but wonder if my disappointment with this book was due mainly to the lacklustre narration. Rich Orlow seemed incapable of capturing the tone of any given scene and routinely tripped over sentence structure and emphasis. Honestly, you could use Kindle's text-to-speech feature for much the same delivery.

Technobabble and forgettable characters

This is great for those interested in future conflict. The story unfolds brilliantly by bouncing around between sides in specific locations - just like an action movie.

It is let down slightly by the narration which at times is flat and disjointed, but the narrator does make a good job of providing the wide range of characters a voice.

If only some of these issues were being discussed in the campaign rather than who's not eating pets in Ohio..
