2034: A Novel of the Next World War by James Stavridis, Elliot Ackerman

3.0

---

3.49 stars for this cautionary tale about hubris and ego and the mass slaughter they may create in the near future. There’s a humanity in this book usually lacking in books of this sort, and which is almost certainly the influence of Ackerman. That helps this book punch a bit above the weight otherwise warranted by the somewhat thin and breezy plot.
