Red Line by William C. Dietz

Red Line

Previous: Red Dog

In Red Line, the ninth volume of the Winds of War series, WWIII continues to rage as North Korean Respected Comrade Chung Hee Bak, launches a surprise attack on the south, hoping to roll over South Korea’s capital city of Seoul, and loot it before the Allies can respond. And the plan works. And thanks to all of the fighting elsewhere, Bak figures he’ll be able to hold onto the city of Seoul and expand from there.

But American President Alice Dearing has other ideas. Not only is she determined to fight, with help from Japan, but to occupy all of North Korea, and hold it until the war ends and the U.N. can step in.

It’s an audacious plan and one which will depend on a brigade of soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 11the Airborne Division to strike from the north, while Japanese marines land on the east coast of South Korea, and that country’s special forces soldiers attack key targets.

Meanwhile, both Russia and China are working both overtly and covertly to assist Comrade Bak and prevent the Allies from securing a foothold in East Asia. Millions of lives are at stake as giants collide, and nothing is certain especially for LT. Colonel Mark Axton, and the Wolverine Battalion, who are the tip of the spear.
