[Robert · Rating 1 out of 5]

Techno-fantasist thriller, apparently self published, though full marks for turning out so many books on the theme. The whole collection might make for an interesting ride if you’re so inclined.

[William McLoughlin · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5. The Soviets push their allies to engage in armed operations that will distract the West from the war in Central Europe and cause the United States to expend resources elsewhere. Cuba gets involved in the war between Nicaragua and Honduras as well as the one between Angola and South Africa. Finally, Cuba is invaded by a U.S./Mexican/Brazilian coalition. Some complaints…The combat scenes are confusing as the viewpoints frequently jump around among the combatants and locations. Misspellings and wrong words continue to occur too frequently.

March my Southern brothers to victory

Same problems I’ve said in previous reviews on this book series. Do has I read I realized thier is it any spy-craft in the series at all expect the blackmail part in book 1, but no use of western operatives threw CIA/MI-6 contacts undermined communist interest or get info to help in the war.

An appropriate second volume.

Some technical errors, also spelling and grammar errors. Other than that, a good read. It moved on a very quick pace. It is a good series that has a lot of potential.

This book needs an editor

A decent story undercut by issues of spelling and such which wouldn't be acceptable in a high school book report.

Good

This was a slow read for me thru the first about 50%, but it picked from there and became hard to put down.

Awesome Novel in Author's WW3 Series

William Stroock has written a fantastic novel in his WW3 series. While war rages in Europe and the Pacific the U.S. finds itself having to fight Cuba in the western hemisphere. The book covers fighting in Central America and Africa as the war spreads. The author accurately describes tactics used by opposing forces as well as their weapon systems. I especially enjoy his accurate use of the orders of battle of the combatants. The battle scenes in the novel were intense and put the reader on the frontline. I highly recommend this series to anyone who ever asked what if NATO and the Warsaw Pact had gone to war.

An ok book in the seried

For some reason the author seemed distracted. The writing was sub par given the previous two books of the series.

I have greatly enjoyed these books, only "bad" thing is I have to use at least 20 words so this will post
