This is a very sobering story of political corruption, strong-arm tactics, election fraud & frontier-style justice when all other recourse fails. It is a cautionary tale for our perilous times.

Great story about emerging military tech & its potential uses in modern warfare. On my recommended professional reading list for my military students. 👍👍

Loved this well-researched, hyper-realistic near-future hard science fiction look at the impending war between Communist China & the West. My only complaint (as a veteran) is the numerous mistakes in pronunciation by the narrator (“Hue City” is actually pronounced “WHEY City” not “HUE City” (the ship in question is named after the ancient capital of Vietnam, Thua Thien-Hue, which played a significant role in combat operations during the 1968 Tet Offensive**)), and 5.56mm ammunition is commonly called “five-five-six” or (usually) “five-point-five-six,” never “five-fifty-six.” Otherwise, it’s an excellent book!

**That’s why the phrase in the book, “Where there’s a will there’s a HUE” makes no sense at all, as mispronounced.

Ruta Sepetys knocks it out of the park once again! Can’t wait to read another of her books!

I liked the lyricism of this translation. It amazes me how a work can be translated and maintain a similitude of the original prosody. Book 1 was much more compelling to me than Book 2.
