 South China Sea seems cut off from the rest of the series August 22, 1999
I could not believe how this book, after all that had happened in the previous 7 books in the WWIII series that I thought were pretty good, suddenly forgets everything, including the fact that in the previous book Communist China had been destroyed and Taiwan's government was coming in the fill the void. Suddenly, without explanation, we're back to Communist China and fighting them again! There are hundreds of other small, annoying facts, but you can't help but wonder what exactly Ian Slater was thinking of when he wrote this book. Did he somehow forget what he'd spent the past half decade writing? The sudden amnesia he showed in this bok is why I haven't picked up any of the USA vs. Militia series. The only saving grace for this book is that, when removed for the rest of the series, it was a somewhat decent book, even with the inaccuracies.
I've grown to love the WWIII series, but not this book. July 29, 1999
I've picked up MANY things so far in having read every previous book to this series that I did not like. Little details, and the fact that every book has the same outline...BUT the charater developement to this point, and a lot of GOOD writing, more than made up for it...and really made me love the series........until this book. Did Mr. Slater forget that there were SEVEN onther books in the series leading to this final climax? What happened? It is as if he forgot all that has happened in WWIII up to now, all of the characters, and every detail except for the fact that Gen.Freeman exists. He is the only link, and not a good one as he isn't exactly the same guy. Even the history from before WWIII that was referenced in all of the other seven books is changed, such as the "previous administration" for the office of President of the United States (referring to Clinton) replaces President Mayne. The capper is the reptetive, annoying comments and phrases that are worked into the dialouge. It gets on your nerves. My suggestion: unless you've read all of the other 7 books and need to do the full 8 to feel good, don't read this. Skip to the USA vs. Malitia series...it looks promising so far.
 Shut up and enjoy it! June 15, 1999
I enjoyed this book immensely and continue to enjoy the sequels. YES, there are a lot of inaccuracies (militarily and grammatically), but I still get a kick out of these books. Personally, I HATE the fact that Mr. Slater refers to AH-1S Cobras in his books (I served w/ HML/A-167 from '86-'90 and we had the AH-1T when I got into the fleet, and had acquired the AH-1W "SuperCobra" by the time 1989 rolled around), but for MY money, Ian Slater's novels are a great bang for your buck!
 Slater needs to do his homework. June 10, 1999
This series of books has continually frustrated me. People that he kills come back to life, air-to-air missile's are suddenly surface-to-air. He build's upon a story throughout his series yet he dosn't remember what he has already written in his previous books. The first book is good but it gets successfully worse after that. Case in point, the Submarine USS Regan supposidly sinks but then comes back to life. A submarine captain automatically becomes a SEAL and then returns to life as a captain. His premise and story line are good but his details and homework stink. It ruins the whole series. Don't waste your time, try Larry Bond.
 It has an interesting characters and a good plot March 24, 1999
When I first saw the book, I also bought its sequeals, not just planning to read the first one but the other ones as well. There is no way you can just buy this book and be satisfied. You must buy the all the others also. The storyline goes on. I bought this book just to see what WWIII would be like and the story is really believeable from it's time in the early 90's. I liked how it incorperated the Gulf War, eventhough the war had just begun when the book was published. Most people say that the story has some military inaccuracies, but they are not important. Some of these inaccuracies are stuff like names of units, weights and other minor details that aren't really improtant. The book was accuracte in telling about a war in europe and although repeated the korean war, told of war in southeast asia also. The best part of the book is the characters. The book is mainly about how one family survives in a war. The characters are very descriptive and detailed. I liked it and currently reading the other books and thoroughly enjoying them. Ian Slater has done a great job.
