About this listen

August 1991. Soviet hardliner Pavel Medvedev knows that only bloodshed can save the USSR from complete collapse. With violence breaking out in the streets of Moscow, few realize that he is piloting the Soviet Union on a collision course with its deadliest enemy yet: NATO.

US Marine Colonel Robert Buckner, passed over for a coveted command, takes a post working for Vice Admiral Falkner on his way to retirement. As the world is lurching towards World War Ill, he finds his way towards a panoramic view of the unfolding crisis with a pivotal role to play. War breaks out across the globe, but the pin falls in the far north, where soldiers and civilians alike must battle not just the enemy, but the unforgiving elements. With arsenals of high-tech weapons loosed in both directions, the ultimate reward may not be victory, but survival.

H-Hour is the first book of the Northern Fury series, which tells the alternate history of World War Ill's northern front through the eyes of those who lived it.

Great build up to WWIII. Plenty of fascinating characters and enough military detail to satisfy the most critical reader looking for realistic action.

and this is just the beginning!

This book is the beginning of a series and as such it looks at a very specific region of a large scale conflict and mostly covers the lead up to world war 3. Most characters are well developed but the story feels a bit one sided. It's pretty much centered around the Russian point of view for the first half of the book and as such you will be following Russia's high command and politics. For the second half its split between troops on the ground and in the air and some admiralty split between NATO and Warsaw point of view. The story is very good but probably too complex to do multitasking while listening.

That said, the reader's performance while good lacked variety and as a French Canadian myself, I can say that some accents where very inaccurate. French-canadians are portrayed with an accent like that of Russians and Norwegians. As such it's sometime hard to follow who is currently speaking.

Surprisingly entertaining
