Counterspace book review

Counterspace is written by William b Scott, Michael J. Coumatos, and William J. Birnes.

It is a good novel while not great it is very good with a decent amount of love, war and more importantly a glimpse at what the future of warfare could entail in a more technology based war. The book is the sequel to the book SPACE WARS. The book takes off almost immediately after the first one and continues to shw the ramifications of a degraded space network and also what crazy people with nuclear bombs can do. The book while good is not great and does have some flaws, for one if you have not read the first one you might get lost with the story, secondly there is a lot of military terminology while some is explained a great deal is not and if you are not familiar with it you might get lost in the wording of the different organizations, and finally some of the actions of the characters are suspect and some of the events that propel the story are suspect as well, one of these being a major event at the very beginning of the story. Still the books is a great read and does give insight into what may be the first shots in the next great conflict. Those shots will not be of bullets but of satellites, data, and electrons.

7 out of ten stars
