Reviewer: D. Redd
Thought Provoking.
Great to make you think about how technology will one day rule the battle space. It will cause a professional solider pause to consider the near future of technology and its use in the battle space of the future. Some cliche action, nice gender spread of heroes.

A Look at a World War 3 Scenario.
A little choppy in the beginning with a lot of background information, but pace picks up to a fever pitch by the end of the story. This could actually happen, especially with the computer chips now mostly being manufactured in China.
Reviewer: JJ Schwartz
Grounded in current events, current and near current technologies and tactics.
This read is in the same league as the best of this genre including Clancy. What makes this novel much different from other fictional accounts of military confrontations is the author's addition of end papers containing citations of concepts, weaponry, tactics, etc (Spoiler alert!) Sun Tsu's, The Art of War, is frequently referred to ending is a costly oversight.
Reviewer: Kindle Customer
This is an excellent rendition of what could happen to our country in the event of a major war. The materials and happenings identified are already in existence. The incredible number of footnotes that Singer and Cole provided throughout the book left me with wanting to read each and everyone in the original. I certainly hope that others who read this book see the seriousness entwined throughout an excellent story, and begin to ask more and more questions about how ready we really are for major conflict, or for that matter, day to day safety.
Reviewer: Douglas Cameron
Tough to Read But Worth the Effort.
Tough beginning where US gets smashed. It may be accurate forecast of capability of China as our trade finances their military build-up and we let our guard down to get cheap goods. Story gets better with US finding a way to recover and fight back.
Reviewer: D.K.D
Enjoyed it! Typically I don't read fiction but this read like non fiction. I think it's a preview of a possible military conflict between technologically advanced nations. War using " augmented reality" as the fundamental weapon.

Meh! Didn't even finish it.
I am ambivalent about this book. A number of folks in my friends circle and work circle have suggested this book to me. With all the raves that this is the next Bond, Clancy or Coyle sort of novel. It tries, oh my does it try; it just comes up short. My biggest problem with it is that where there should be good story telling there is instead almost Ayn Rand levels of exposition when the characters are talking. Which takes me to a tangent, real quick the war is about oil. It is even explained in two different chapters that the war is about oil, but that is buried behind this heavy layer of exposition. The oil is located near the Marianas and the Chinese want it, so they go like Imperial Japan of the 1940s and attack to get it. Okay so that is the short and sweet of the plot. The hinge point is that the Chinese are able to exploit the electronic nets with both being the primary integrated chip manufacturing centers of the 90s on, the use of college students as hackers (trope warning here in the language used by the author to describe the hackers), and finally just advanced arms that are able to kick butt and take names.
We spend about 4 chapters with the opening meeting the some of the primary characters and day 1 of the war. Then all of a sudden we jump to who know how far ahead in the timeline (and we aren't told really how far ahead from our own timeline except that the folks who joined around 1991 Desert Storm era are still alive but probably in their 50s and 60s) and the US has been hobbled, Japan was been neutralized (and one can assume the Koreas as well), and all of the Pacific out to Hawaii and parts of Alaska belongs to the Chinese with Chinese troops on them. At which all of a sudden, the magic bullet in a whole bunch of older ships that were retired before their time, aircraft from the desert that aren't as well networked and so on are brought in. Then bam, to be honest I really don't know what happened because I just folded the book up and walked away. Put it in the my bag to the 2nd hand book store.
The drama of one of the lead characters and his father was so overbearing that it should have been an after school special or Lifetime Movie Channel event. Some of the other characters are so thin that they aren't even cardboard, they might as well be butcher paper for how much depth they are given. The real character is the cyber war stuff and the attempt to put the fear of god into folks about the dangers of how networked our world is becoming. Is is a threat? Sure, but this is so heavy handed that I have read anti-communist books from the 50s which were more even handed and less ham-fisted than this book. Then there is just the exposition as I mentioned, where to fill gaps in events you have these page long lectures about the world at that moment or what had happened over the period of 6-12-42 months (?) from day of war start to the event at hand. At other times when exposition is sort of called for, instead the authors dance around the mulberry bush.
Realistically, the authors recycled the plot from a little known historical event called the 2nd World War and changed out the players from the IJN to become the Chinese (which are no longer communists but a weird hybrid of militarists and capitalists) joined by the Russians (whom I assume play the part of the Italians or Germans in the Pacific?) against the US and the UK commonwealth. Complete with all the usual rounding up of anyone Asian by US police forces, the magical reintroduction of the draft and the re-induction of well over mandatory retired veterans (again a line mentions that some of these folks were in since at least 1991 Desert Storm and have children that are not in senior military ranks. So the war is so bad we are putting 60+ yr old grandparents out on ships and in tanks?). Victory gardens and economic depression that we have whole sectors of the economy collapsing with the resulting bread lines imagery.
Sorry, but even at their worst; this isn't a Clancy or a Cole or a Bond book. Nope this is one of those many techno-thrillers that fall more evenly into the Men's Adventure genre or Men's Adventure Sci-Fi. Where the inability to write good creative fiction is papered over by bad political diatribes and a bunch of technical gobbledygook. You know the types, they are usually ghost written well past when the author has died and are up to like #1000^n+1 in the series and you used to find them in the cheap section of the supermarket book aisle or discount department stores book section. I really want to like it because even good trashy books can be fun, but this isn't fun. That is why I am not really excited about it. The idea is scary; but I wonder if they could have pulled a better punch by doing like Sir John Hackett's book "The Third World War"The Third World War and written a pseudo-history of what the 3rd world war would have looked like and been able to pull of the exposition in a better way. Here it is all just page filler that at times doesn't move the story and slows it down.
Reviewer: Humble
Korea?
This book is engaging and action packed. A fun read with fictitious events supported by real-world technology. The endnotes are almost as interesting as the story. However, how can you have a war between PRC, CIS, and USA without including DPRK and ROK?
Reviewer: CHH
Great read, great story.
Great story with decent character development. Nice read!
Reviewer: Shmuel Shmuel
Good book, 30% too long.
Ghost Fleet is a good book and very well researched. It is extremely grounded and conveys well a possible future great power war - better than many other official papers and think tank studies. However, it should have been a third shorter. The middle dragged on and added little. Also, the ending is a bit dues ex machina.
Reviewer: William R. Hayes
MAKE ROOM ON YOUR SHELF FOR THIS ONE!
A well-written, fast-moving, credible, extraordinary peek at the future of warfare with Shakespeare's notion that, "hope springs eternal", woven throughout. A superb read for those with an interest in the tomorrow we will live in with our current "near peers".

When I was in college I read Red Storm Rising and Team Yankee both were realistic depictions of a NATO - Warsaw Pact conflict. Ghost Fleet is THAT good. Every scenario described in GF is already in progress or on the drawing board. The vulnerabilities the U.S. military is building into our near future weapon platforms could be exploited by a tech savvy enemy as this book describes. I recommend this book to anyone interested in national defense or entering the military today. We must prevent this very possible scenario.
Reviewer: Intrepid Sailor
Larger look at implications of DoD acquisition on cyber vulnerabilities.
Thought provoking look at the next world war with cyber taking a much larger role. Written in a “red storm rising” style, but doesn’t handle time gaps or scene transitions as well.
Reviewer: Ken Kraetzer
What Chinese military technology might do.
Interesting scenario of what Chinese technology might be able to do. Current miltary ships and planes woven into story. About to start reading for second time to catch more detail. Have given to several friends involved with technology.
Reviewer: Jess Tolfree
Insight into a possible future ?
What a great story, with plenty of plot twists & turns. Could this story foretell the near future of warfare? Thought provoking to say the least & well researched - I recommend this book highly.
Reviewer: Joel
Great book.
Great book. Talks to the two warfighting domains in which we as a nation are least prepared to fight (Cyber and Space). Centers around naval and counter-insurgency actions, which makes for an interesting combination.
Reviewer: David Llewellyn Douglas
Compelling look at a fictional world war.
This book is very interesting, easy to read, and in for!active. It captured my attention quickly and kept it with information on tire tech!
A few things bothered me. First, it focused very heavily on the naval aspect of the war (though that's obvious in the title and I'm biased as an Army Officer). Also, while it had interesting characters, it didn't properly develop them. If it were a series of books, I think I'd like it better.
Basically, its a good read, but left me wanting more.
