Hey Andy - I've spent most of the last week on holiday on the Isle of Skye, during which I've also managed to read all of the Armageddon's Song series! I've really enjoyed the military aspects (although I feel we're a little differently inclined on the politics [;)] ). I'd love for someone to create some CMANO scenarios based on the naval encounters.
Thanks again for the books,
Byron
Hi Byron,
I do not seem to receive any notifications of messages and I hope you did not think I was ignoring it.
I am a bumbling amateur on the naval side. (Douglas Reeman novels are my training pamphlet)
I have finally accepted that maps do not work very well on hand held electronic devices, especially as Amazon compress the files by 75% when you upload them.
I have finished the series as far as WW3 is concerned and I am now writing a prequel set in Vietnam with a couple of the main characters from the first books. The series is now available in the iTunes store but without the maps, they are restricted to the Kindle, paperback and hardcovers. The only nautical maps which went into the 2nd and 3rd volumes were pretty much token efforts. Perhaps future technology will allow them to work on small screens and perhaps Amazon will cease compressing them into low definition mush.
The sequel will have a lot of naval action but I won't begin writing that for a few months yet.
BTW, the five WW3 books are out in a back to back Kindle called 'The War Book', all 661K words for $9.99 as a winter read (It'll disappear with the spring).
