Summary: I Recommend Thunder Of Erebus
Review: To Payne Harrison: I saw a young boy touch Thunder Of Erebus on the shelf. He paused, and then went on. I stopped him and said that that book was one of the best I've ever read. My squadron has enjoyed it, too. Let's have more of your writings! Thank you, Steve Hutchinson, aka Col. Wrecking Crew.

Summary: THIS MAKES RED STORM RISING LOOK LIKE A DAMP SQUIB!
Review: WOW! An exciting, action-packed and hugely thrilling techno-war set in an imagined future. A new mineral is discovered in Antarctica which could alter the balance of world power as we know it, a necessary ingredient in a STAR WARS space defence initiative. The Americans want it, and when they discover the rubidium, Russia invades Antarctica. The action kicks off in the second half as aircraft carriers come under fire, F/A-18 Hornets do battle with MiGs and Sukhois in the freezing skies, and on the ground, special polar warfare brigades, foot soldiers and mechanized infantry strive to stop the massive Russian onslaught. You also get submarine action with the USS SEAWOLF(which Michael diMercurio has immortalised as well) armed with a variety of strange weapons, and an interesting description of a converted Trident boomer as an undersea aircraft hangar . . . could be feasible one day(but you never know what NATO has got!). I could go on, but to top it all, there's a subplot involving a volcano ready to erupt(Mount Erebus) and a trapped lady volcanologist keeping out of the Russians' way. The US-Russia war scenario may be old hat now, but the Antarctic settings add a good touch of originality to the story. Not to mention the supersecret covert operations and gadgets the US forces use as well as the special subs! If you can get hold of a copy, this is not to be missed. Awesome. Payne Harrison's best.
