Depth of Revenge: Slate's nuke porn analysis

[Onkel Neal]

Review is up.

What Depth of Revenge is not, is a wish fulfillment story; the carefully crafted build up to the novel's climax steers clear of heroics or sermonizing. Golden's novel is a sober, genuinely thought-provoking examination of the next September 11, on a vastly more terrifying scale, and will likely be regarded as prophetic in the years after theocracies like Iran develop their own nuclear arsenal.

Bill is a great writer. I live in the same area and have had the privelege of speaking with him on a few occasions. If you think he is good on this subject, try talking civil war history with the man! Just because he teaches the subject doesn't mean he is an expert - too many professors just know what the "books" say - Dr. Forstchen has gone and visited and studied and delved into the subject like few scholars have.

I can highly recommend any of his books.

Thanks for the extra info, I will go and get his book after your recommendation. It's always a joy to discover new authors, or authors that somehow I missed (like Patrick O'Brian, didn't know he existed until the M&C movie ).
