Excellent.
Insightful and informative. One of the best I've read this year. Provides a what-if and plays it out. Perhaps we can derive indicators that would provide warnings?
Reviewer: Ed Martin
Lots of technical data.
Very creative plot line, and although it was written in 2015, much of its story is happening today.

This is one I stayed up all night to read. Singer's day job involves staying up to speed on the kinds of things covered in Ghost Fleet, so his depictions are grounded in what the world's militaries are working on today.

Makes you really think..
After reading this book, one truly wonders how real the scenario truly could be. Space is where, most likely, the next world war well start. But how do you maintain supremacy? This was a thought provoking book that had enough emotional drama from the characters including CAPT Simmons who had very tough decisions while on command. Brilliant.

This book is worth reading. The combat scenes are spectacular. The technology is amazing. I am a little skeptical of some of the technology, but to say which items here would be spoilers.
Regarding the plot, there are a few things less than perfect. The end of the war is abrupt. It feels like Singer just ran out of ideas rather than ran out of war. Also, the motive of the Chinese is not clear. Why take over this one particular archipelago and then pretty much stop.
Those mysteries aside, the book is pretty good and I recommend it.
Reviewer: Michael Huggins
They say this is being passed around the Pentagon - I hope so
The ancient Romans eventually referred to the Mediterranean as Mare Nostrum--"our sea." In "Ghost Fleet," the Chinese decide they wish to do the same with the Pacific and attack the United States, perhaps 10 or 15 years in the future. They start by knocking out our GPS and other communications satellites and planting malware in the information technology channels of our Defense establishment. They then attack Pearl Harbor and turn Hawaii into their mid-Pacific outpost, served by sullen American civilians and subject to the sabotage of a resistance peopled by American military who were stranded there.
Considering the present actions of the Chinese in the South China Sea and their suspected intrusions into American computer networks, none of this seems far-fetched to me--it seems all-too-likely. The authors, a defense policy analyst and a defense journalist, have copiously researched their subject and portrayed war in the near future as using technologies that all exist right now or are under development. The book's title refers to mothballed U.S. ships and planes that must be called out of retirement to fight the Chinese--in part, because the older, un-networked computer equipment on these ships and planes is too primitive for the Chinese to hack indirectly.
Of course, the book makes no pretense to be a purely literary work, though there is a very interesting plot thread about a cat-and-mouse game between a serial killer, whose instincts have been given free rein by the war, and a Russian spy. Nor, really, does the story really rise even to the level of William Gibson, in my opinion--the two novels I've read by Gibson have a very strange way of getting deeply inside the reader's head, even when he's only talking about radio antennae and video clips.
Still, what this book does, it does very well indeed, and I think the authors would consider themselves sufficiently praised to be called the Tom Clancy of the 21st century. Every significant reference to weapons and other technologies is footnoted so that you can, if you wish, check their source materials. Even though I considered some aspects of the story over-simplified, I found it gripping and enjoyable, as well as a necessary and sobering look at something that might really happen in the next 20 years.

Pretty good but lots of plot holes.
Okay, pretty good but lots of plot holes. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I'd hoped. Like others, the first 80-90 pages sucked me in. The remaining book was flat. I hope in the future they'll be a little ore consistent and keep the pressure -- and pacing -- up. Thought-provoking, for sure. I just wish they'd explored more deeply the topics they tease.
Reviewer: Brendan Stuart
I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's missing something.
I don't know, put me under the "Wanna like this book but can't."
I'll go out on a limb and guess that most people reading this book read Tom Clancy. And i hate to say it, but this isn't a Tom Clancy style novel. It's about a subject that Mr. Clancy likely would write about again, and it's chock full of relevant and real content.
But it stops there.
While some jargon is realistic, i think some of it isn't. I liked that old, young, experienced and those who would never touch military equipment had to come together, that was interesting to read.
Hardware, the Osprey's landing on its belly isn't realistic, the sensor pod is on the under-belly. The large number of missiles and attack aircraft would require many hours to launch. And a lot would require multiple refueling trips which wasn't really touched upon, particularly on the enemy side, given the numbers. While i love the research that went into each aspect of the ressurection and fleet building, down to the missile designations, something was just missing. I'm not sure if it was realism or just the way it was conveyed.
Futuristic - Stim sticks and a successor to google glass is interesting stuff. The human side about how youngin's would get addicted to their viz and the elders refusal to use them was a nice touch. But it doesn't dig into coding aspects or other things relating to software. Just the chips on the F-35 and such on how they were likely hacked. Drone tech was interesting and seemed mostly accurate.
Referenced Material. Lots and lots of relevant and recent references to real world things. Which was nice.
I won't say it's a bad book, the authors even mention Mr. Clancy by name and i think it was a solid attempt. But there is something Mr. Clancy did when he went into his actions sequences that seem to be missing here.
Also in the beginning, they keep switching between too many different groups in my opinion. It was hard to read at first.
Lastly, you could infer how the rest of the story goes. But, i think it ended prematurely. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but i think from the political realm, some more of the story could have been told.
Overall, not a bad book. But don't set your expectations on the Clancy level.
Reviewer: SARAH P
Very well written novel.
The book was thrilling to read.Could not put it down!
Reviewer: Walker D. West
An OK Read.
Without giving any plot details away, I'll just say that I would have preferred the story to take place in the present day rather than some future and unstated time frame. Lots of whiz-bang technology that may or may not be available some day.
Reviewer: Kindle Customer
A step up from Red Storm Rising.
This novel does a great job of envisioning what the near-future of warfare may have in store for us and does a great job of connecting the dots of the recent technological past into a seamless blanket of techno-future.
Reviewer: Kiwi RKC
With poor character development.
Expected much more of this novel, which completely failed to live up to the promotional 'hype'. Definitely not even close to the level of Clancy's 'Red Storm Rising', with poor character development, a plot full of loose endings and general lack of continuity in the story development.
Would not consider another novel by this author.
Reviewer: Troy Houston
Overall Great with a Dash of Disappointment.
Great book, seems too plausible, minus the ending; where a billionaire saves the day.
Reviewer: rle737ng
A page turner...
A great page turner in the tradition of Red Storm Rising. I didn't want to stop or put it down. Makes you think about current and near future technology applied to warfare. Good job by the authors.
Reviewer: Amazon Customer
An enjoyable, but flawed read.
An homage to Cold War techno thrillers like Red Storm Rising, Ghost Fleet is the plausible story of war in the near future.
You can tell the authors have done their research on the technical side of things but the book often slips into stereotypes and cardboard cutout characterisation.
Overall I wanted more geopolitcal intrigue, less cheesy 'father and son at loggerheads' storyline. I wanted to know more about what happened to NATO and other US allies, not a strand about a serial killer that really didn't go anywhere.
Reviewer: Joseph B. Phair Jr
Overall a good summer read though nothing really earth shattering.
Paints a picture of war between the US and China about 30 years from now. It suggests that the US is on a path to being quite vulnerable as our rivals rise in the coming decades. Overall a good summer read though nothing really earth shattering. It is science fiction though close enough that feel believable unlike some techno thrillers. All in all would recommend. No serious complaints though nothing mind blowing either.
Reviewer: Kimberly Jansma
A tech geek would like this book.
Singer and Cole’s Ghost Fleet gets a high score for its Third World War setting with the believeable premise that the Chinese have encoded all of the US' military arsenal and other high tech tools with their own micro chips that they control. A war launched from outer space is fascinating and believeable. A tech geek would like this book. If you're looking for atmosphere or character development - people you believe in or care about -you won't find it here. I would have liked to see at least one character with an alternate point of view in this war - a mental ninja who could see beyond raw technical power.
