Beautifully paced and edge of your seat exciting. You don't need to be a technology whizz to enjoy this cleverly plotted and brilliantly executed story. The characters are complex, believable, likable (even the bad guys) and well developed as the story progresses. I confess to skipping some of the technical descriptions of the various aircraft and weaponry but the story holds it own and then some. I hope FX Holden is busy writing the next book. I hate waiting. Highly recommended.

But it just sucked me right in! Fascinating premise. After I got used to the switching points of view, I really liked it. Now, I'm off to read the book that inspired Mr. Holden to write this book!

This is a very interesting story of a situation that might occur in the future. It is told in a wonderful style giving the story from both sides. It also combines very different perspectives from different type of military personnel. It is a truly gripping story that will leave you think "What if?". Very well written.

It is extremely rare for me to read a book of fiction written by a woman; call it sexist if you wish, but that's just the way it is (I don't think for a moment I'm the only guy who feels this way). This book is an admirable exception. It held my interest from beginning to end with clever and very well written scenes right through to the final one.

Finally! A new Smart Aviation/Techno Thriller
November 7, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
I have been looking for a good Aviation related techno-thriller like the OLD TIME Dale Brown/Stephen Coonts books. I was very happy to see Bering Strait and it handily scratched my itch. Interesting look at the Drone heavy future of aerial combat and frighteningly plausible political scenario. NOTE: I read Bering Strait as the Pre-publication Advance Copy, so I have not YET read the latest version. I'm sure it got EVEN BETTER, smoothing over some of the rough edges which, honestly were not that rough at all.

A mind blowing novel.

Absolutely brilliant story of a build up to a near nuclear war between the US and Russia. Told from both sides in superb fashion and realistically possible. Just unable to stop reading from start to finish.
Incredibly well researched and thought out considering this is set in the not too distant future. The descriptions of the navy and air forces of the future actually put you there with the operatives. Worth more than 5 stars!!

This is a near future scenario with believable use of characters (human and computer.) Nothing is too farfetched to make you feel that this is not a believable scenario. Very well written.

Pre ordered this based on some blurb on Facebook, and I'm really pleased that I did. Well paced near future military thriller that resonates with authenticity. The multiple perspectives keep it fresh and there's enough techno stuff to keep enthusiasts moist. Highly recommended.

I couldn't put this down. Each scene flowed into the next leaving me desperate to find out what will happen next. The only downside was the billion technical terms and abbreviations that slowed the flow.
A great ending with a logical explanation for the whole scenario.

Interesting storyline with a future US vs Russian conflict set in the arctic circle. Good characters with multiple but interwoven threads of action based on use of military drones with an intetesting twist to the reasons for the conflict. A great read.

Action , suspense, technologie
1 novembre 2018
Format: Broché
Un livre impossible à lâcher, le vocabulaire anglais est accessible à un non bilingue passionné d'aviation et/ou de technologie en général, les personnages sont fouillés, le suspense bien mené et l' aspect technologique bien recherché.
Je suis fan de Clancy, Coonts et autres, on est dans la même veine.
Recommandé sans réserves.
