Review: Never ending story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 10, 2014
A lot of the reviewers have given this five stars but I could only muster four - well actually 3.5.  Yes it is a rollicking yarn and continues along the lines of the first three in the series.  But this one didn't quite grab me as much.  Disjointed action scenes, too much monologues by some of the main characters and as happened in the previous books, a sudden new piece of technology from the US saves the day (but the previous war winning weapons were never used).It seems the core 'heroes' on the US side will live forever, whilst you can bet that the protagonists will nearly all die in the final few pages.On the plot, I find it hard that after battling the Chinese for the first three books, they sat out this one.  Given the way they were portrayed in the previous books, I find it hard to comprehend that they would not attack on the southern front when the USA seemed fully committed to saving the north.Also I find it hard to believe that the UK would fight the USA, especially under the directions of the Germans, too much bad blood there for that to happen without a revolt or two!Yes I will read the next book, it will be interesting to see what happens.
