Pouns, B. E. - Amerika - Pocket Books - 4137678 € 3,50 Essef - 1987 - 1st Pocket Books printing - pocket - 412 p. - This is the novelization of the miniseries "Amerika" which ran in the late 1980s. The premise is simple: the Soviet Union detonated four huge Electro-Magnetic Pulse ("EMP") hydrogen weapons over the continental United States, which had the effect of destroying all national communication, thereby rendering the military powerless. During the disorder, Soviet-controlled UNSSU (United Nations Special Service Unit) forces occupy the country. America then undergoes what comes to be called "The Transition" which is essentially a conversion of the former USA to a communist dictatorship. (VG) |

Pournelle, Jerry - CoDominium 3: The Mercenary - Pocket Books - 4090110 € 2,50 Essef - 1977 - pocket - 223 p. - The Mercenary is perhaps the best military sci-fi book ever written. Excellent plot, less-than-perfect heroes, and superbly crafted battle scenes make it a pleasure to read. The plot moves along nicely and while the character development could be improved upon, lets face it, thats not why any one reads these books. This is a superb "ripping yarn" and one that assumes that the reader has a functioning brain and uses it. (VG) |
