[QUOTE="trappedslider, post: 9503333, member: 41932"] Now if we could only harness that energy __ Different topic that bugged me enough to type it out. I've jsut finished up book one called [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Last-World-War-Timothy-Imholt-ebook/dp/B00PGHNMUC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3O7TJJCOAO95Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7HVvykL45ovD2vcEXdAg8P_p2NwrjIQ7Xy9tN5W3tJj54gUOsjVotcCSyGuqpoOmDh5OG6szyXGxx4gt1z_iS4P53e-X-2f_xCqo-gZ3patYj-JPZkjlvJBspedBSOxBcaJ8_6Yx79rM8vWq5uo4m0KH-iIlWYs1qfLTtDxVfEode3cQxg52JIcfkXWlh25DrTRAKz8TlpEvyFabSheywQ6bJ4D0KTznWETuPcFo56M.oudmrGb3V9BVXZOJ5l08GZq9voKwGqPTYwgSLXmDYSE&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+last+world+war&qid=1731042823&sprefix=the+last+world+%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-2']The Last World War[/URL] of two books by [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-Imholt/e/B0098KN5SW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1731042823&sr=8-2']Timothy Imholt[/URL] and Michael Garst. The only problems I had with the book was you could clearly tell that the writers did very little to no reasearch and one phrase that jsut annoyed me ( "our stealthiest bombers"). So in the book the US is attacked with two nuclear weapons from Iran, that's fine with me the targets were a Lockheed-Martin factory in Texas and another donated in Detroit. Apparently there are no other factories/companies that could supply the US military. Then the writers for whatever reason choose to go with the Green Berets instead of either the Navy Seals or Delta despite those two groups being better for the actual missions depicted in the book. Going back to the nuclear weapons, they did no research on how long the fallout would last or anything related to it beyond radiation burns/sickness and the damage caused. They decided that an indefinite 15 mile quarantine zone would have to be put in place around the bomb zones.

With all the above said, the editing/proof reading were good no errors in that department. And now to copy and past all that into the review. [/QUOTE]
