this book told an exciting story of men in combat. Even though some things seemed impossible it is well worth someones time.

I have to say I had a hard time putting this book down. There's a lot of action and the pace is furious. However, the pace is also a weakness of the book. It is written in the style of a TV movie: everything happens quickly, seemlessly, and often unrealistically. The author makes it seem as though you can cross China in a few hours in a tank (fat chance). In one scene, a battlefield commander radios in a request for a cruise missile attack, and, within half an hour, the missiles arrive, on target, courtesy of a sub cruising in the Pacific. Nice, but highly unlikely.

On the whole I enjoyed the book. But, given the lack of realism and paper-thin characters, I'm not sure I would read another in this series.

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.

the end of WWIII is finally here with an assult on china's capital probably one of the best of the series

In WWIII: Warshot, the Reagan was sunk! Along with it's crew! How the did they suddenly ressurect themselves? I dislike this book for that one reason. Everything else is fine. END
