Synopsis

"I would place Holden with the best of the best military thriller writers . . . " —JAMIE MICHELE, READERS' FAVORITE, 5 STARS

With United States troops and aircraft on Taiwanese soil, and missiles flying across the Taiwan Strait, the world prepares itself for the war that has been building since the turn of the century . . .

Will China back down, or double down? Will the fragile Western Coalition hold? Will regional conflict tip over into a global war? And what's next for the newly raised 68th Aggressor Squadron and the personnel of Aggressor Inc.?

Beachhead is told through the eyes of six combatants from multiple nations, fighting to survive as the two superpowers clash.

Few, if any, will still be alive by the end of the week . . .

Featuring a plot taken from tomorrow's headlines, cutting-edge technologies that are on the drawing board today, and characters you will never forget, the Aggressor series delivers guaranteed page-turners for military action enthusiasts.

Goodreads review by Wayne

Not fiction anymore "The American AF-K9 Bird-Dog and Chinese Tianyi autonomous drones are fictional, but they’re based on prototypes in development in Israel, Turkey, China, India and the USA. Developments in AI are likely to make them a reality on the battlefield" As seen in recent news stories on TV......more

Goodreads review by Edgar

DECEIVE IS A BETTER TITLE The plot is very good and the tension is high. So many unexpected twists in the plot. But there's a caveat, to increase tension, the author uses a technique that is sometimes annoying. He cuts the narration at the ends of chapters and leaves the results of the action to be r......more
