Cold Allies by Patricia Anthony

ksultzer10946's review

3.0

This book is great in the same way a bad B-movie is great; It's terrible, but its terribleness is inherently enjoyable. Anthony's choices are sometimes so bizarre, the real mystery in the book is what kind of drugs she's on. Why is there this weird love subplot between the General and the doctor who is removed from the main plot almost immediately after she is introduced? Why is Dee introduced as a character at all if she's just going to be killed immediately? Why is there a Zen master talking with a weponized video game nerd? I really enjoyed reading this book, but I can also completely understand the low scores some other people have given it.

Red Storm Rising meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Aliens appear in the midst of World War Three. The problem is no one knows whose side they're on.
