3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but not startling,
By Big Dog (Christchurch, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WW III: World in Flames (Mass Market Paperback)
A good read - if you are not a massive military buff and don'tgive a rat's how much a Sparrow missile weighs, then you should findit entertaining enough. Freeman is a bit shallow though as a main character - Slater tends to play too much on his "un-PC" behaviour, I feel. As far as a series goes, it is quite good so far (the first 3). The atmosphere of a World War raging in Europe for an extended period is captured well in the shifts to England, and the plight of the average citizen and the masses of refugees is sometimes quite disturbing. It is also good (in a typically male, gung ho type of way) to finally have a nuclear exchange, instead of it being "stopped in the nick of time" as in many other novels. I am now living in trepidation, though, as I start the rest of the series, due to the scathing reviews referring to ships and people "coming back from the dead" - we'll see...

Not too bad but still....,
By A Customer
This review is from: WW III: World in Flames (Mass Market Paperback)
WW III: World in Flames is the 3rd installment of Ian Slater's WW III series, and is the best one so far, even if it is brimming with military innacuracies and errors that in some cases are minor, in others dumb and in others just too blatant to ignore. An example of this is when Slater mentions an "A-10 Intruder". Uh-huh. The A-10 and the Intruder are 2 completely different aircraft!!! Also innacuracies about the calibre of the Phalanx gun system and the weight of the Sparrow air-to-air missile(in the text it seems to shift from 524 to 514 to 5,000 pounds)and what's this? A Russian ballistic missile submraine weighing in at twenty-five tons?! An F-15 fighter weighs more than that! Use you noggin, Mr. Slater! Still, despite all this the interesting use of an SAS unit was entertaining, and the nuclear aspect at the end are probably what saved this book from being rated a 6 or a 7 by me
5.0 out of 5 stars
love it,
By Giovanni (Philly) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WW III: World in Flames (Mass Market Paperback)
Call me crazy but this entire WWIII series by slater is a guilty pleasure of mine. I like clancy and bond as much as anyone else but this series is great if you like a lot more action.
