Goodness, that was quick.
There are aspects of this book which are outstanding, especially as a cautionary tale. Several of the characters are well written, and memorable. The story itself was not terribly strong, though, and the authors simply leave us hanging at book's end. We really don't get a novel of the next World War. We get a novel with a gimmicky "U.S. is in a tight spot in a big hurry" opening, a bit of combat, later, on the ground, and a naval engagement to wrap it up. Goodness, that was quick.

Neither a good novel nor a good look at the future of warfare.
This book has been on several recommended reading lists for the military, and specifically the military space community. I wonder, after reading it, if those who recommended it got beyond the first chapter. I would describe the book as basically a survey of a number of possible future technological innovations (tracking nuclear reactors based on radioactive emissions, rail guns, space based laser and defenses, autonomous vehicles, etc.) loosely tied together with a very weak plot. The military details are, well, not very detailed (nowhere near the level of Tom Clancy). The overall flow of the war strains credibility (with the advantage of a few of these technological innovations, China easily defeats the United States, and takes over Hawaii). The subplots are confusing, and they also add very little to the overall plotline. I was expecting something akin to The Third World War, by General Sir John Hackett. This book is nowhere near that level of detail.
If you're looking for a description of future warfare and what it could look like, go elsewhere (7 Deadly Scenarios is a good start). If you're looking for a good military novel there are hundreds to choose from. This book tries to be a bit of both and fails on both counts.

Plenty of Tech More Character Needed.
Plenty of techno speak and references will please the boffins and those seeking predictive realism in their reading, but character development is a little shallow. Could argue the book just ends too quickly with quite a build up to a climax but an abrupt end with handy wrap up epilogue vignettes but a but twee in that respect, otherwise a readable modern novel of near-future war. Still doubt though, that a conflict would not result in some kind of nuclear engagement (especially since the technology would pre-date the problems Identified in the book)but who am I too question? Finally also I would have made more if the lack of supply of goods in the USA since as we know 'everything is made in China' right?

Reviewer: Amazon Customer
Excellent book.
This book was recommended to me by a friend, it is based on very possible scenarios and embellished to make for good reading. It was a fun read and actually very educational.

Reviewer: Denny M
Good action packed story. Quick read for those that like spy/war books. Cheap price to have a few hours of intriguing entertainment. A novel approach to revealing how intertwined with high tech we are becoming.
Saw this was recommended by Mark Benioff (? spelling ) as he was being interviewed on CNBC. Since he is one of the cloud kings I thought it would be interesting to check it out on kindle. Like I stated before spy/war story, inexpensive purchase leads to cheap but entertaining hours of relaxation.

Reviewer: Andreev
From "tech-maniac side" - better than most books on the market
I understand, why the book was written and what authors tried to tell us.
So, from political side, it's OK.
From "tech-maniac side" - better than most books on the market.
Story... Well, I've already read something like that. Back in the old days it usually ended with Birgmingham and Minsk being nuked and USA triumphant, you knew it from the beginning :). Now you have some _more_ psychology. But that's standard for most popular fiction this days.
Here China wins, if you didn't get it, by the way.

Awesome ideas that seem consistent and really work better than ...
Lots of tedail and plausible scenarios for the future history described. I found the characterization in the first third of the book a bit weak - I had trouble keeping track of characters at first (especially the spies), and the action really flowed only during the extended final battle. Conceptually, awesome ideas that seem consistent and really work better than the typical "near future" storytelling. Would have liked more Chinese characters to follow during the story.

Reviewer: Stephen Walker
... it was on the USMC's reading list and highly recommended to me by another Sergeant
I got this book to read because it was on the USMC's reading list and highly recommended to me by another Sergeant. It was worth the money. Glad I got it and read it. Lot's of parallels and potential parallels between this book and real life. Based almost entirely in things that are and could happen. Gives you a different way of looking at things.

Reviewer: None
Cyber War it's real wake up!
A few good points, as in the spy sw in the weapons systems. See AmericanAcademy Of Sciences , Information Assurance for Netcentric Security for a more through overview of the problems associated with off shore manufacturing. Also see: Cyber Wars, A Paradigm Shift From Means to Ends, by Amit Sharma, Nato CCDCOE.org. the truth is scarier than fiction.
The book was to much bang bang shootem up. If that's what you want then you will like the book. If you want to dig into the real threats and such start with the two refrences above.

Reviewer: Robert
Hmmm, They certainly have revived the "Yellow Peril.."
As I am reading-the perfidious Chinese launch a sneak attack on the USA, I am still waiting for the FIRST problem in their very complex operation. Perfect security, perfect execution,..
And no mention that the first thing that would happen is their economy scragging because we would repudiate our debt and trade would stop.
Hmmm

Reviewer: Scotty P.
Phenomenal!
This was really an interesting book. It’s set in the future I don’t know exactly what year, possibly 2030 or later. The characters are real. There is so much heroism in this book. Incredible bravery strategy, and tactics from a minuscule force against a far larger one. And incredible read!

Reviewer: RL337
A compelling read
This is a very believable story of how a near future war with China might go. Technical details are spot-on aywell researched. This is the only work of fiction I’ve ever read that is supported by footnotes. Those details are matched by a well developed cast of characters that draw you into their thoughts and emotions. To the author I say well done. More, please

Reviewer: T. Ballou
Good yarn, but...
It's a good yarn, but the railgun technology is a bit too far over. While such weapons and other kinetic energy weapons exist in small scale, scaling them up seems to challenge current and near future capabilities and the ranges used in the book are just foolish. Beyond that, it's a neat concept.

Reviewer: K. Wallace
I'd give this book more stars if I could!
I had a hard time putting this book down. It is better than Tom Clancy on 'roids! There's even a bibliography that references all the seemingly crazy futuristic sounding parts of their plot... Loved this book!!!

Reviewer: Clay Wilson
Good story - Gives a warning about relying too much on technology
This was a page-turner, and I hope that most readers will also see ways this future conflict scenario can be be avoided - the lesson is that technologies we increasingly rely upon actually grow less reliable as they grow more complex - pay attention to how the rebels defeat that Empire in Star Wars. The characters here could have been developed more deeply, especially those from China, to add more interest through descriptions of internal personal conflicts during several of the battle scenes. Overall, this is a very good story, and it proceeds at a good pace. I was up late reading several nights, and even work up early on Sunday morning to finish the story in bed. Good writing.

Reviewer: Jeb Hoge
Both fun and chilling to read.
This novel is surprisingly dystopic, both fun and chilling to read, and hard to put down. It's been compared to Red Storm Rising in many ways, and I can definitely see why. I finished the first read a few weeks ago and I'm already re-reading it.

Reviewer: david

Interesting and compelling read but ultimately, poorly written. Guessing the author has a technical and/or military background as that portion of the story was fairly well developed. Didn't like the "global warming " and gay military references pushed in the story. Honestly, just stop. Give it a B-.

Reviewer: H. Duell
Excellent portrayal of the next major conflict
This is an excellent portrayal of our next conflict coupled with the current issues we are facing in today’s reliance on technology.

Reviewer: Ross
21st century military engagement.
Detailed military engagements and insights into weapons capabilities. Completely void of political or high level content that Clancy is so masterful at. If you are looking for first-person soldier/sailor/airmen experiences, this is for you. If you are looking for accompanying international, strategic, or geopolitical drama, you will be disappointed. I enjoyed it but wanted wider coverage with the same depth.

Reviewer: John Anderson
Excellent Book!
Excellent read, kept my interest all the way through, exciting and interesting at the same time!

Reviewer: Krispy Kirk
The Coming War With China (spoiler alert: it ends badly!)
This book has received a lot of flack for how it is written and how shallow the characters are. But if you've read any Tom Clancy, you'll find yourself right at home. The weapons and the action take center stage. The plot is brilliant and the ending is satisfying. All in all, this is a plausible and terrifying scenario that none of us would EVER want to see play out. The message is clear: technology supremacy has a dark side. If you want to have a net-centric, web-enabled Navy, you have to have total control of your production and procurement chain. Too much technology gives us unusable "unicorns" like the F-35. But it also can give us "wonder weapons" like electromagnetic rail guns. Sometimes, a little technology is just the right amount and too much is suicide. Read and heed!

Reviewer: Jorge Del Carpio
Very well researched, not very well executed.
Honestly it was okay. It is well researched, but it honestly reads like a Jason Statham movie. The dialogue of the characters reads so awkwardly and at some points made me cringe. If that's your cup of tea, great! Wasn't mine.

Reviewer: James Byrn
Not Tom.
Book ended very abruptly. Good, imaginative imagery of future war, but wasn’t as comprehensive as “Red Storm Rising” was for that generation. I hated that the Zumwalt is made into this surprising underdog, but that’s more personal opinion. Definitely worth the read for military leaders.

Reviewer: Scott K. Toppel
Grew Up w Ghost Fleet - Exciting to Read.
I grew up in CA and passed the Ghost Fleet numerous times as a boy and later as a Navy Fighter Pilot. My last job in the Navy was in the F-35 so that is what makes the book so personal for me. While it is fiction like Clancy, the story is possible which makes for a very exciting read.

Reviewer: Aggie
Thought Provoking.
The book was interesting. Showed the true American spirit in action. The powers that be should give a fair look.
