Since we are talking WWIII stories here....I'll uh....do a shameless plug on my books....
The title is total war book one: the incursion both available for the kindle and the nook...
/ shameless self plug...
We won the war. Shouldn't you be parlezing Americanese?
(I kid, I kid)
You seriously have a book? Do you have a link?
Couldnt be any weirder than Harold Coyles the Ten Thousand where the US Corps fights its way out of Germany facing the Bundeswehr. I Still think the best alternate WWIII books are Red Storm Rising, Team Yankee, and Red Phoenix.
I'd add "The War That Never Was" to that list. It focuses more on the flanks of the war in Europe - Norway and the Adriatic, IIRC. Really interesting and well written, and a nice break from Germany. "Vortex" is probably my favorite military novel ever, and "Arc Light" is a great post-Soviet US vs Russia war book.
Another weird one was "Cauldron." US and Poland vs France, Germany and Russia. Too weird for me to really enjoy.
Vortex, Cauldron and Arc Light are great books up there on my favorites list.
Great book. I decided to find a ebook version and read the 1st half on my tablet after reading this thread.
I find it refreshing in that it does not get too bogged down in technical details. It's good that it'll just refer to a infantry fighting vehicle rather than saying 'bmp....' followed by a page of telling you what a bmp is and a brief history. It concentrates more on giving graphic and pretty believable snippets of tales from around the battlefield all interwoven into the bigger picture.

good book
i read another of ralph peters book "the war in 2020"
Good George, no ! I'd rather speak in the manner of the Brits, thank you !
Yeah, no, no translation... Whatever ! I'll just train my linguistic habilities !
I liked it, Russians are almost Russian for a change.

have you read Team Yankee, Sword Point and Bright Star? in my opinion three of the best from Harold Coyle... my personal favorite are Sword Point
Yep. Read them. Team Yankee was especially great. I may even have the graphic novel version stored in one of my boxes here.
Pretty much all of his stuff is good, definitely a cut above Tom Clancy. Peters also wrote a series of Civil War novels under the pen name Owen Parry.
I just started that one.
I'll have to look for Vortex. Who is the author?
