GAS CURES KIKES posted:I really want to re-write Red Storm Rising, with a better name.. but have it be kinda alterna-history where the soviet union solidified and continued their defense advances that we've seen up until now but on a much larger scale.. and where we got the cold war military we wanted and have the war spark off in Europe. Instead of the cop out Clancy went with though to end and limit the conventional war, I'd basically have it end the way it was supposed to- tactical nukes escalating to strategic nukes. So it'd be like.. first few chapters has the introduction to capabilities and the run up in readiness on both sides, and the intelligence war that both are waging.. Next few chapters the initial hostilities (first strikes by whoever is doing that, etc-- Special Forces raids, SEAD/DEAD etc day 1 stuff) that advance to the Naval War and the large Mechanized forces pushes.. and it tells the whole story from that same Clancy character POV (I.E interesting throw away characters like the pilots and poo poo). Anyway, the whole thing would devolve into the USSR gaining tactical and operational advantage on the ground in Europe leading to action chapters for the Nuclear forces guys (who've been kinda introduced in those first few chapters) and we see how the war would have looked from everybody's POV as it progress (quickly) from tactical nuclear weapons to theater nuclear weapons to a full on strategic force employment. The rest of the book can be about the NCA and nuclear forces surviving and riding out the war and attempting to negotiate an end to hostilities.. have it all end in the bleak death tolls of the war shown first from conventional warfare (which should also be hideous) all the way to the full on holocaust that was committed before the cessation of hostilities. Have you ever heard of Arc Light?

Admiral Bosch posted:I just read this a couple weeks ago on a friend's recommendation. Pretty great read, keeps the science pretty accurate as far as my layman's mind can tell. Pretty nailbiting in parts. I liked when he was swearing on the chats with NASA. Trying to get a guy who got stranded on another planet to censor himself sounds like a very government sort of thing to do.
