As a fan of military fiction I was disappointed in this book. Granted I wasn't expecting Red Storm Rising but this book was lacking. For example, several pages were devoted to one character explaining his flight simulation program so given the amount of space taken up in the story one would expect it to play some pivitol role later, it didn't. On the other hand major battles were covered in only a few pages.

Even taking into account that this is fiction, parts of the story line are completely inplausible to believe.

If you like military fiction, it makes for a nice quick read but don't set your expectations too high otherwise you will be serisously let down.
