A review by jfranco77
Red Phoenix by Patrick Larkin, Larry Bond
4.0
This book is a few years old, but could just as easily have been written in 2014. Kim Jong-Il and the North Koreans launch an invasion of South Korea, using clever planning and the element of surprise. Can the South Koreans and the handful of American peacekeepers hold on until the cavalry arrives?
The book takes a looooong time to get going, and Bond lacks a perfect touch for political intrigue, but it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. Once the action starts, Bond really excels. Infantry, artillery, aircraft, boats, submarines and even logistics- they all get their day to shine and they all work.
Bond collaborated with Tom Clancy on Red Storm Rising, which makes sense since this is basically the Korean version of that book.
