Slater's World War Three series is terrible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rage of Battle (Mass Market Paperback)
I have all of Slater World War III novels and I have read them all. They started out interesting enough, but with so many factual errors and grammatical mistakes, they were very frustrating to read. Worst of all, the characters were flat and uninteresing. I'm going to get rid of all my Ian Slater books as soon as possible.

Better than the first but still trash.,
This review is from: Rage of Battle (Mass Market Paperback)
this series could have been interesting. But they just do not live up to expectation. The characters are so boring that it is mind numbing.The plot jumps around which is fine, but fails to really make any sense. Much of what happens is predictable and lacking. the series has many military mistakes which is unforgivable. Read what he used to do as a profession. I thought i'd give the second one a go. but it really is just not a good series. Read Larry bond or tom Clancy for good stories in the techno thriller genre.

Come on, Slater, you can do better than this!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rage of Battle (Mass Market Paperback)
WW III: Rage of Battle is the second installment in the WW III series, and while it was OK compared to some of the tripe I've read, it by no means is "Superior to the Tom Clancy genre", as the quote from the cover suggests. It doesn't even come in close. For example there were again the everpresent military innacuracies such as: In Chapter Nine, a British Jaguar attack jet fires its 2 Exocet antiship missiles at the Soviet cruiser Yumashev, and on the way back, it sees a Russian bomber. So, the Jaguar magically acquires a THIRD Exocet and uses it to shoot down the Russian plane. Give me a break! The Exocet missile (never mind where that third one came from) is an antiship missile designed to attack large surface vessels moving at tops 50 knots and with the radar cross section larger than the broad side of a barn, not a 150-foot long aircraft flying along at 500 mph! Also, on page 224, Slater sugguests that the A-10 Thunderbult carries a 20mm cannon. Sorry, Slater, but the A-10's GAU-8 (and yes that's all capitalized, unlike what you showed in the text) fires a 30mm shell. And there are a few more innacuracies, but I'll let you discover them on you own. Oh yeah, the "thousands" of AH-1 helicopters mentionned on the back cover? Well in the text there was a grand total of 8 of them. So read this book if you've read everything else, but if there are a few Tom Clancy or Dale Brown books out there you haven't read yet, your money would be better spent on them
