WW III: Rage of Battle is the second installment in the WW III series, and while it was OK compared to some of the tripe I've read, it by no means is "Superior to the Tom Clancy genre", as the quote from the cover suggests. It doesn't even come in close. For example there were again the everpresent military innacuracies such as: In Chapter Nine, a British Jaguar attack jet fires its 2 Exocet antiship missiles at the Soviet cruiser Yumashev, and on the way back, it sees a Russian bomber. So, the Jaguar magically acquires a THIRD Exocet and uses it to shoot down the Russian plane. Give me a break! The Exocet missile (never mind where that third one came from) is an antiship missile designed to attack large surface vessels moving at tops 50 knots and with the radar cross section larger than the broad side of a barn, not a 150-foot long aircraft flying along at 500 mph! Also, on page 224, Slater sugguests that the A-10 Thunderbult carries a 20mm cannon. Sorry, Slater, but the A-10's GAU-8 (and yes that's all capitalized, unlike what you showed in the text) fires a 30mm shell. And there are a few more innacuracies, but I'll let you discover them on you own. Oh yeah, the "thousands" of AH-1 helicopters mentionned on the back cover? Well in the text there was a grand total of 8 of them. So read this book if you've read everything else, but if there are a few Tom Clancy or Dale Brown books out there you haven't read yet, your money would be better spent on them.

I have all of Slater World War III novels and I have read them all. They started out interesting enough, but with so many factual errors and grammatical mistakes, they were very frustrating to read. Worst of all, the characters were flat and uninteresing. I'm going to get rid of all my Ian Slater books as soon as possible.

A big disappointment for a book billed "Superior to Tom Clancy genre with characters that come alive...and the military aspect far more realistic."
The story jumps around with it being very loosely tied together around one family. But the characters are so flat its hard to care about them, you want them out of the way so the action can start. Then when the author attempts to get into the military side he is sadly lacking. Its like someone who has maybe read a couple of Clancy books and now decides to write about the military but who really doesn't understand it. There are just too many techinical mistakes. For example, the Marine Corp does not have airborne units; Majors are not RIOs in F-14s, a sub will not be able to see a ship 40 miles away by periscope.
I had high hopes when I bought the book but was quickly just looking forward to just finishing it. There are just too many glaring mistakes along with the jumbled storyline to make it enjoyable for! someone who enjoys Clancy's books. Sorry but this one just isn't worth it.
