Reviews
A gripping account of future war that is equal parts entertaining and sobering. Mick Ryan writes with a credibility and authority that transforms this techno-thriller into a provocative wartime narrative that belies its fictional roots. White Sun War reads like a collaboration between Asimov and Clancy, an entirely plausible scenario that presents readers with a chilling vision of a not-so-distant future. An absolute must read., To be successful, future war fiction requires an author who is militarily expert, has literary skill and an imaginative gift. Mick Ryan has all those qualities in abundance, and the result is a book that is entertaining, thought-provoking and quite possibly prescient. Not just an engaging tale but a warning of things to come., White Sun War is a thrilling novel that allows readers to easily imagine the pace, excitement, fear, and trepidations of those involved in the conflict, but also makes them realize the dire consequences of war., White Sun War is a must read for military leaders and security professionals concerned with contemporary and future warfare, especially with China. This book would be especially useful as a case study for professional military education to provide fictional concreteness, so to speak, to discussions of potential challenges inherent in the battlefields of tomorrow., ...[offers] policymakers and military leaders considerable fodder to ruminate about conflict in a world where great power conflict is back with a vengeance and how it might play out in an Asian theater of particular American concern., Ryan's novel should be used as a teaching tool for U.S. forces as well as for a general public that wants to better understand the strategic environment in the western Pacific and how technology, climate, and geopolitics can affect all of us., As a keen observer of the Russian war in Ukraine, Ryan takes many lessons from the conflict and applies them to White Sun., Rarely does a review of a combat or science-fiction book appear in a scholarly journal, but Mick Ryan's novel merits this exceptional status...Ryan has chosen to look into the possible--some would say probable--future, where most historians fear to tread., The author's professional background equips him well to describe changes in military technology and tactics, and these areas are covered well in the narrative., White Sun War is a first-rate techno-thriller. It is an enjoyable read in and of itself, but its concept-driven narrative is what sets it apart from other books. The characters and their interactions illuminate ongoing debates about the future of war and how a conflict between the United States and China could well play out., The book is written partly as though it is a history created after the war ended, and the author clearly understands the changes in warfare which the latest technology creates., Mick Ryan is an outstanding military analyst, innovator, and advocate of fiction to teach about both what is enduring and what is changing in warfare. How wonderful he set himself the task of a novel -- and added fabulous storyteller to his achievements.", White Sun War reminds us that while great nations continue to chase the dream of short and decisive wars, they cannot escape the reality that great power wars are long and tiresome...an accessible, satisfying must-read for students and practitioners of modern and future conflict.
