Grey Dragons: Red Ascendant

De: Olan Prentice

Grey Dragons—Red Ascendant is the first book in a military fiction series perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, W.E.B. Griffin, Rick Campbell and Miranda Watson.

The world wakes to the brink of war as a mushroom cloud rises over the devastated Japanese port of Monbetsu.

An economic partnership between Japan and Russia dissolves into chaos with a punitive Russian sneak attack on the home islands. The timing is perfect—for the Russians. Rising public hostility has forced Americans to shutter their bases in Japan, putting the Mutual Defense Treaty at risk.

Admiral Robert Bondurant, Commander of the US Seventh Fleet, now based in Guam, scrambles to generate a measured response to the Russian aggression when he learns his wife and daughters have vanished from their Yokosuka family residence during the chaos of the Russian attack. His counterpart, Russian Admiral Aleksandr Vostrotin, Commander of the Eastern Military District, finds himself fighting this conflict across multiple fronts, not the least of them the warmongering factions in Moscow who forced the attack on the flimsiest of prevarications.

The last thing he needs is American involvement. Surprising both opponent and ally, the Japanese invade the Russian-held Kuril islands and begin destroying Russian military satellites, effectively escalating the conflict across air, land, sea and for the first time in history—into space.

Good story line with nice depth

I really struggled with the dozens and dozens of pronunciation errors. It became so bad at one point that I literally gave up listening for a week or more.Now, I’m not a perfectionist by any means, but what was up with the lack of auditory editing to fix all these mistakes?

WW 3, Not! Meticulously Slow

Not quite WW 3, a plane shot down, some ships attacked in port, and a sea battle with small warcraft, all drawn out to make the story longer unnecessary longer. The story ins’t bad, but would’ve been better without the slow moving details. The action is too few and far between.

The detailed and meticulous description of every person, event, machine and system takes too long, and takes away from the action of the story. Even the main battle with small warships is much too detailed, which makes it go on and on and on.

Take out all the unnecessary things that do not move the story along and this whole book could’ve been the first 2-3 chapters in a book about WE-3. I TRULY HOPE THE SEQUEL IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE SAME FASHION!

A truly terrible book.

Bad writing, bad narration, a complete waste of time. How do some books get published?
