I mean, I'm a sucker for happy endings, but somehow an even MORE neoliberal EU G7 doesn't seem like it was worth fighting for (also lol nefarious French)
Great book. I would have given it four stars but I felt that it became a little too over the top with the patriotism; a little "Top Gun-ish"
Lightweight military action novel - an ok beach read but not the best (or worst) example of the genre. The bad guys start out being sneaky and smart and end up being dumb and predictable.
Advanced reading copy as new
Europa, de jaren negentig. Etnische brandhaarden, economische conflicten en een grimmige handelsoorlog brengen het ooit zo gedegen West-Europa tot aan de rand van de afgrond.

De NAVO is ontbonden, Frankrijk en Duitsland maken van de ontreddering gebruik en slaan de handen ineen. Doel: een onoverwinnelijke supermacht die strekt van de Atlantische Oceaan tot aan de Oeral.

Amerika en Groot-Brittannië vormen een gigantische alliantie, die direct tot de aanval overgaat. Op alle fronten worden bloedige gevechten geleverd. Hypermodern wapentuig doorklieft het luchtruim, de Amerikaanse marine vecht voor wat zij waard is, bestoken door onderzeeërs, mijnen en Franse kernraketten.

Tot overmaat van ramp mengen ook het GOS en de voormalige show more Oostbloklanden zich in de strijd... show less
