The third (and last) of this month's Reading Gauntlet is a series of four 'modern warfare' novels. The first two are considered historical novels, as they both take place during the Vietnam War. The last two are pure fiction: Bond's Red Phoenix looks at what a Second Korean War might look like on the Korean Peninsula, and Coonts' Liberty's Last Stand is an unnecessarily provocative treatment of what it might be like if the State of Texas ceceded from the United States. Coonts has gotten a lot of great reviews on GoodReads, but I'm not sure if I like his writing style. It's not that it's bad; it almost feels too hurried (much like the sort of writing I do; but I'm not a professional).
