A stunningly realistic view of modern warfare from a battlefield commander and the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Gray Man</i>. </b> <p/>The Russian bear has awakened. Their tanks race across Poland crushing all opposition on a headlong dash for the heart of Germany. Satellite killing missiles blind American forces while Spetznatz teams destroy Allied communications relays. It's all part of a master plan to confuse and defeat America and her allies. <p/>Ranged against the Russian attack are a Marine lieutenant colonel pulled out of a cushy job at the Pentagon and thrown into the fray, a French Special Forces captain and his intelligence operative father, a young Polish female partisan fighter, an A-10 Warthog pilot, and the captain of an American tank platoon who, along with a German sergeant, struggle to keep a small group of American and German tanks in the fight. <p/>Operation Red Metal is a nightmare scenario made real but could it just be the first move on the Russian chessboard?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Red Metal <p/></i></b>"<i>Red Metal</i> is red hot!
