Volume 3 of 5, in a series that goes further than even Tom Clancy's classic, in a tale of truly global, world war.



The abridged edition.



The world is at war, from the steamy jungles of South America to the high ice of mountain glaciers.


This is the third of a four part tale of global war, and the people under arms, on both sides of the conflict.



NATO won the Battle of the Atlantic at terrible cost, and not only in men, women and material but to the planet also.



In Europe the NATO army is close to exhaustion, grimly holding its ground along the Elbe and Saale rivers, buying time for the US and Canadian 4 Corps to arrive, but their grit and determination are frustrating an enemy becoming ever more desperate and a finger hovers over a button marked 'Nuclear Release'.



In Russia, Svetlana has dangled herself as bait for an ex-lover and narrowly avoided their vengence in order to learn the Premiers location, but the Security Forces are closing in and the 'Ex' is not done with her yet.


In Asia the Green Berets, SAS Mountain Troop and the Royal Marines Mountain & Arctic Warfare Cadre are battling the weather, the mountains and the enemy in order to reach the Chinese ICBM silos and space centre. In Australia, unlikely allies join to confront a million man invading army, whilst in the Pacific the US Navy and HMS Hood need to find and destroy China's ballistic missile submarine 'Xia'.



And what also of General Henry Shaw, United States Marine Corps? The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs believes that underhanded dealings and dirty tricks should be used on the enemy, not your own people.

Excerpts:



“Aircraft action, forward!” a lookout screamed.


The second aircraft also came in from the direction of the ocean, but a scant hundred feet above the trees, its wings tilting as it followed the lie of the river, the bomb bay doors gaping open.


The sound of the Rolls Royce engines passing above them and the roar of Bao’s and Dai’s 23mm automatic cannons made Li flinch but his eyes did not leave the two falling objects, blunt nosed depth charges, not tumbling but semi stabilised, oscillating at the finned tails as they fell at an angle towards their target.


Tracer chased the Atlantique, spent 23mm shell cases rattled and rang against the metal deck.

“What, may I ask, does General Allain intend to do about that?” The President followed on before Henry could answer. “There is just a cobbled together, infantry heavy division sat in the way of god knows how many tanks so does he honestly believe that will hold them until our new Corps arrives on the scene?” with that he sat upright and raised a coffee mug to his lips while he waited for the answer.


Henry responded with four words.


With a snort that sent coffee splashing across the papers in front of him, the President choked in mid swallow.


“What?”


“He’s going to attack.” Henry repeated.
