One of the other reviewers noted the need for an editor.
True enough. It's and its were frequently reversed, apostrophes forgotten, commas instead of semicolons used, etc.
Otherwise, it's a good read. It reads like a pre-proofreading of a Tom Clancey type novel, and that ain't bad. I just copy-edited in my head as I went along.
But Stuart, bestselling authors have editors.

Reads as if written by a bomber pilot with an old grudge.
Sure, drop 200 A-Bombs on Germany and get world peace and prosperity. I guess GWB would love this way.

First book in this line. This one is about Germany. The name of the book lets you know what it is about, dropping the big one. Well worth the money.

Great alternate military history that has the USAF using B-36's to achieve invincible power, after flattening Germany, then using the power to dictate terms to the world, post WW-II. If these themes appeal to you, and you love technical action, then this is the series for you. Read "The Big One" first, then "Anvil of Necessity", then "The Great Game", in that order. Then check out John Birmingham's "Weapons of Choice" series. Great new authors. You don't want their works to end!

The author of this book is a man who has worked for years in the defense industry of the United States, and it shows - the technical aspects of the book are impeccable, along with much of the research of the setting. The actual plot isn't that bad, either - the book is essentially the lead up to a rather shocking end of a different World War 2, one in which the Lord Halifax telegram offering a negotiated agreement with Nazi Germany was accepted by Germany and leads to England's early withdrawal from World War 2.
It's in two areas that this book is flawed, which greatly reduced my enjoyment of this novel. The very first is that the characterization is only so-so in the novel; not bad, but not particularly amazing either. The second is, as mentioned by other reviewers, the massive number of grammatical issues, ranging from bad sentence structure to bad punctuation, that constantly jar the reader out of Suspension of Disbelief. Apparently, though, the author has made considerably efforts to have this improved in future novels, and presumably the second edition will be much improved in this area.
