The Red Line Walt Gragg

WWIII explodes in this electrifying debut military thriller in the tradition of Red Storm Rising and The Third World War. “Delta-Two, Ive got tanks through the wire! Theyre everywhere!†World War III explodes in seconds when a resurgent Russian Federation launches a deadly armored thrust into the heart of Germany. With a powerful blizzard providing cover, Russian tanks thunder down the autobahns while specially trained Spetsnaz teams strike at vulnerable command points. Standing against them are the woefully undermanned American forces. What they lack in numbers they make up for in superior weapons and training. But before the sun rises they are on the run across a smoking battlefield crowded with corpses. Any slim hope for victory rests with one unlikely hero. Army Staff Sergeant George ONeill, a communications specialist, may be able to reestablish links that have been severed by hostile forces, but that will take time. While he works, its up to hundreds of individual American soldiers to hold back the enemy flood. Theres one thing thats certain. The thin line between victory and defeat is also the red line between life and death.
