Of course, the 609 is STILL not in production, that’s been a long road…
All these Osprey hard clutch engagements, though, are starting to cause concern.
It’s slightly off topic but not too much.
Even after three months after finishing the last page of Red Storm Rising I can’t stop thinking about the mastery of the written art that book holds.
I wish, I so damn wish, they’d make a well funded mini series.
Make it ten episodes, hell, make it twenty! Season one ends when the tide of war is just about to be turned- right as the carrier group damaged by the Dance of the Vampires making it to the British port and the escort group of the Atlantic gets back almost broken in half
Oh gods, oh gods how freaking great it would be…

Oh hell yes! That would be awesome. FIXEDIT on youtube does some fantastic DCS videos with chapters of the audiobook but I guess he’s having trouble with copyright claims?? some of his videos get taken down, then reuploaded etc. but they are amazing to watch and listen to.

The videos are so good, I wish the whole audiobook was available as a DCS-YouTube series

Agreed about RSR.

Michael Pritchard’s narration and FIXEDIT’s killer soundtrack choice really make that video.

Apparently, this will eventually come out on Netflix. I am halfway into book one. It’s smart, weird and educational. “Three body Problem” is both a tough physics prediction and a virtual reality game. The hero of the book, a nano tech expert, stumbles upon the game while trying to learn the reason for the deaths, by murder and suicide, of so many scientists in his circle. The novel takes the reader back to the Cultural Revolution and forward to the mid-2010s.

Listening to this one again right now (read it a ways back).
While the personal stuff I tended to skip past there’s a lot of good stuff in there.
Can’t seem to get the amazon link to work

Nothing with DCS but…
If it’s ok to link this:
The entire thing it seems.
PS: I have both the paperback (from like 1989?) and the audiobook.

Would love to see the guy do a series using
arma/steel beasts, cold waters and dcs, with a bit of command modern operations thrown in now that would be epic

Great summary!
I love this whole series. Some of the best books I’ve ever read.
The first book can feel a bit slow in the middle but keep reading and you’ll get to enjoy a rollercoaster ride of science, psychology, politics and tech that you will never forget.

Agreed, awesome trilogy. I have heard there is a fourth book by a different author but I haven’t read it.

I am about half way through Mosquito. Some interesting events getting covered.

I just finished reading Mosquito. I now understand why the author spends so much time writing about the Danish resistance and all the people involved both in the air and on the ground. The final quarter covers the day of Operation Carthage in detail and it packs a serious punch.
A 2021 film called Bombardment / Shadow in my Eye covers the same raid but gets a number of key details wrong, making it somewhat of a fictionalised account due to some poor research, which was later admitted by the creators. This book by Rowland White both corrects those errors and offers a more accurate telling of the events in a very readable way. I can’t say it is an easy read however as parts of it are quite challenging but it illustrates both the bravery and skill of the Mosquito and escorting P-51 aircrews as well as covering the tragic and remarkable events on the ground. It explains in detail why the raid was necessary despite the risks involved.

Well said, completely agree. I’m a few chapters away from the finish, and while I have to admit struggling to get through some of the middle sections detailing the resistance activities it really is all coming together now and is hard to put down.
I can’t imagine having to make the decisions those people had to make, from the resistance to the higher ups to the pilots themselves; living with that kind of pressure all the time I don’t know how people weren’t cracking up left and right.
Some of the events are hard to believe, particularly regarding who survives the raid. Feel like if I saw some of what happened in an action movie I’d think ‘no way they made it out of that!’
