This is the best there is no doubt about it. This book stands heads and shoulders above all other books in its genre. The story is superb. The characters are developed and the battles are unbelievably real. Mr. Harry has made in my opinion one of greatest war books ever. He writes in a style all his own. I could go on and on but all I can say is BUY THIS BOOK and you wont be sorry.

If you think it's impossible that world leaders would ever exercise the nuclear option - this BOOK MAKES THE IMPOSIIBLE a reality. The prose takes a story with global implications and makes it personal with behind-the-scenes insights into governments, militaries and world leaders. You won't know how it's going to end until the very last page. A thriller that leaves you hoping for the best - yet chilled to the bone at how close the end of the world could actually be.

Tough book for me to rate; here is why: Bought and read "Arc Light" when it first came out in 1994. I really loved it and at that time would have given it 5 stars. I remembered the book so fondly that I decided to reread it this past summer (2009). It was not nearly as enjoyable this time around. The thing I found most laborious was all the technical depth and description of weapon systems; really seemed to bog down the story. I did not remember this as having gotten in the way during the first read. What I had remembered so fondly were the characters and the trauma the events inflicted upon their lives. That was still there on the second reading, but not as deeply felt as remembered.

I liked this book. It's about an atomic war between the USA and Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Events roller-coaster along leading to an "exchange" that ends in a nightmare.
