Review: A positive surprise
Rating: 4 out of 5

Fearing a flag-waving super-patriotic racist text (why did I even dare buy it?), this was a very pleasant surprise. Set in the not-too-near future, it paints a geopolitical and economic landscape without getting too smart about it. It has some of the best and most complex characters on both sides of the conflict I've ever seen in an action-driven book. With an almost "Game of Thrones"-casual way of disposing of them. Details of the dirty war in occupied territory are painted with grim and ugly colors.The actual frontline battle scenes are the least believable. More reminding of European theatre in WW2, a century of technology earlier than I would expect WW3 would look like.Will buy next in series after reading my current virtual stack of Kindle books.
