Re: Great China VS U.S war book
...and remember, stranger things have happened. Nobody would have predicted a military alliance between Hitler and Stalin like the one that developed in the early days of World War II and continued for two years..
...and, finally, Russia actually plays a huge role in the story...extremely large role. At first, the Russians play both ends against the middle and try and avoid direct conflict with either side...but they do get drawn in, in a very major way. One of the principle sub-plots involves a Russian Colonel who, through the storyline and over several years, rises in the ranks and ends up leading significant Russian forces.
Oh well...thanks for the thoughts and critique, it is also a fictional novel.
Well, China is developing significant relations with Iran as we speak, with significant bi-lateral economic and military ties. They are attempting the same with India and have announced significant economic agreements, and conducted several military exercises together over the last several years.

Hi Jeff
Just a quick note.
Please do not take any of my previous comments as a critique of your work. I have only had time to skin a couple of first pages and I would be the last to unfairly criticise the fruit of another mans labour (unless it was truly abyssmal).
I hope you realise that my comments were simply a bit of banter with my "ole buddy Ute"
Best of luck with the novel and I would never accuse anyone of being another Clancy without overwhelming evidence.

Joking... We're weak, we won't fight with US.

Re: Great China VS U.S war book
I don't think a war between China and US will happen. From current military developement, I don't think China is in any position to attack united states first. And also the philloshy of China that they will never start a war unnecessary, unless all these are bullshits. (plus I think everyone is more interested in making money, not war. )
But I did enjoy reading the book.

Later, particularly with The Bear and the Dragon, although the scenario itself I felt was plausible, the way he handled the US technology being an absolute panacea for every thing the Chinese threw at it, was just a little too overdone for me. That's another reason I wrote the series because I believe that adversaries, when confronted on this scale, can and will find means to overcome those advantages.
For example, as Stalin I believe is reported to have said...Qauntity has a quality all it's own, when speaking of Soviet tank production in WW II when pitted against the (at the time) more technically capable German tanks.
No problem, did not take them wrong or negatively and appreciate all honset commentary...good or bad. I have no lock-on these types of things.
Copy that,,,and glad the two of you are on herebantering!
Thank you for those wishes. I am certainly no Clancy. He has written many, many great books. Most all of which I have read. I still like his Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising best I think, particularly Red Storm Rising from an overall, large scale World War standpoint. No one has really written such a novel since IMHO...and that is what I set out to do.Best of luck with the novel and I would never accuse anyone of being another Clancy without overwhelming evidence.

Thanks, Jeff - I'm having a look now. I'll give you some feedback on it after a while.

Re: Great China VS U.S war book
Great! Then I did not fail and am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading it.
Well, when you downloaded it, there was no payment requested. The Adobe eBook download is free and will remain that way on my site. I believe Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and Powells and the like will sell the Adobe eBook version...but you can still get it off my site for free...and as the author and publisher, I am free to make such a promtional offer and am glad to do so. Hope you enjoy the read.I just downloaded it, I hope its still free
Thanks...hope you enjoy it and look forward to your comments. I really wanted to write an enjoyable, and hopefully engrossing ,full fledged World War III fiction novel.
Re: Great China VS U.S war book
You know Jeff, it seems that you have predicted a lot of developments, and there is a real market for this type of book right now because people in the US are anxious about China and Iran.
In my story that is a lot like your book in the military story thread, China and the US end up being erstwhile allies (oops I revealed the end.)
