Summary: excellent!!
Review: Reading the events in this novel, I was thankful that I was reading a novel & not the newspaper. The events in this novel could easily happen. The possibility of nuclear war could still happen.

Summary: I stayed up all night to finish reading this book!!!!!!
Review: Arc Light is a gripping thriller that kept me up all night reading. Harry's characters are flesh and blood creations not stale cardboard cutouts like Clancy's Jack Ryan. He is the only techno thriller writer that can handle female characters credibly. During my reading of this book I purchases Protect and Defend and can't wait to dive in!!!!

Summary: One of the best thrillers I've read
Review: This book starts out with an accidental nuclear war, and then the real action begins.... The President is impeached while in an underground shelter with the Congress, and that's just the beginning, too. An excellent book -- one that kept me up turning pages even though I was exhausted with a new baby. Harry's a smart guy who knows what he's talking about. Why isn't this a movie?

Summary: Would have gotten five stars except for one thing.
Review: This was a well written novel that also seemed very well researched. The authors attention to detail was extraordinary. For example, the description of the processes actually involved in a nuclear explosion was beyond compare. That's why I was highly disappointed when he mentioned, not once but twice, the VICIOUS recoil of the M16 rifle. Any person who has ever fired one of these weapons, a friends eight year old included, can tell you the author most assuredly did not do his homework on this particular item. The M16 has the lightest recoil of any battle rifle manufactured today. That has been one of the main complaints about the rifle from the beginning. It's not nearly as powerful as the weapons that it replaced. If the author makes a mistake this simple it brings into question in my mind his descriptions of the more complex weapons systems in the book. However after I forced myself to forget about the M16 screwup I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was a truly good read. I only have one suggestion for Mr. Harry. Take some of your profits from this book, buy yourself an AR15, the civilian version of the M16, and see for yourself.

Summary: The Global Thermonuclear War Genie Is Out Of The Bottle!!!
Review: Eric L. Harry has done an incredible job of capturing in words, and putting on gruesome display for all to read, the "nuclear nightmare" scenario for the end of the millennium: instability in the command and control structure of the former Soviet Union leading to an "accidental" thermonuclear exchange with the U.S.! Harry's portrayal of the events and emotions leading to and following the massive thermonuclear exchange between Russia and the U.S. is so well thought out and so plausible that it will make your skin crawl, and then it will start you to thinking about what, if anything, you could do to not be around when the warheads begin to rain down!! Spend what may be the last moments of their lives with the two-man crew of a U.S. missile silo complex, riding out the utter destruction of the world above their underground launch control capsule after they have launched their own deadly flight of MX "Peacekeeper" missiles at targets in Rus! sia!! Sit in on cabinet meetings and briefings with the U.S. President as he tries to decide whether or not to launch on warning against the Russians, who have called to say, "It's a mistake!" If you're cozy with the thought that no one would ever start a nuclear war in this day and age, because to do so would, of course, be insanity, you should read this book!! Down to the very last pages of this book, Harry's very sane and very rational characters quite believably go about doing the "unthinkable", and for the most ordinary and basic of reasons, all of which have been around since the dawn of man's time on earth: miscalculation, mistake, complacency, pride, stubbornness, and revenge. This book is Pat Frank's "Alas, Babylon", updated for the late 1990's, and much more!! Once you've bought it, don't even open the cover until you're ready to read it straight through, because you won't be able to put it down once you start!! I had to interrup! t a very good Harold Coyle book to finish "Arc Light&q! uot; because, once I started to read it, I had to know what came next, and next, and next! Great read!!!
