Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire by FReeper Jeff Head has been written up in the June 17, 2002 edition of Shotgun News.
The article is on Page 73 of the Magazine and is by the owner of Fred's M-14 Stocks. He entitles it, "Breath of Fire" a Scary Book.
Here is the body of the article.
I just read a white hot new book on the start of World War III, called "Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire" by Jeff Head.The first of five volumes, it is well worth the read because it shows how easy it would be in the world today for us to go - in a few months - from superpower to embattled ...under a threat even more massive than World War II.
Naturally, our Chinese friends are at the bottom of it, just like they will be in real life. (Before the outbreak of World War II with Japan, farsighted authors were portraying a war with Japan in prophetic fiction, one forecasting the Japanese advance on the Philipines - and the attack on Pearl Harbor! I sure hope Jeff doesn't have the same foresight, for, if he does, we are in for some rough sledding.) ...
The huge Chinese trade surplus today is financing a Chinese military build-up. The Japs were smart, tough enemies, and the Chinese are going to be tough, hard-to-beat enemies also. Truly, "those who do not remember history are condemmed to repeat it." ...
Available from Barnes and Nobles, Amazon.com or www.dragonsfury-breathoffire.com.
Get a copy. It'll scare you!

Hope and trust all is well with you.
I am down in Tejas working ... but will be headed home in a couple of weeks to prepare for #3 daughter's wedding.
The review as great ... and a surprise. Hope it represents a reflection of momentum building for the series in the future.
God bless.
DESERT STORM 1991
An ADA track commander flashes the "V" sign as his Vulcan air defense system leads an armored column into Iraq.
I enjoy most that "natural" confetti we get in Idaho in the winter time. LOL!
Best regards.
Newer, better radar and target acquisition, longer range, faster firing ... but those two platforms are basically the same concept.
Of course there are also some newer platforms like the Avenger systems and others utilizing missiles ... but the platforms you showed in those posts sure represent the "triple A" component.
