Media Reviews
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. * Army Rumour Service *
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 … An absolute must read. * Steve Leonard, Senior Assistant Dean of the University of Kansas School of Business and co-editor of To Boldly Go: Leadership, Strategy, and Conflict in the 21st Century and Beyond *
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. * Eliot A. Cohen, Robert E. Osgood Professor of Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins SAIS *
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 … While the goal is certainly to avoid war, it is far better to be intellectually prepared for that possibility and its conduct, and Ryan’s entry is a welcome addition to this discussion. * Diplomatic Courier *
