A blizzard is the perfect cover for a shocking act of Russian aggression. Emboldened by their successful annexation of the Crimea, a power-mad Russian president sends his troops over the border into eastern Germany. Standing against them are the woefully undermanned American forces. Army Staff Sergeant George O'Neill is the man tasked with making information flow again and getting the Americans back into the game. But it's up to hundreds of individual American soldiers and airmen to hold back the flood of Russian troops in order to buy O'Neill the time he needs to bring out the big guns.
The best World War III epic Ive read since Red Storm Rising.Grant Blackwood, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Duty and Honor
Youre going to hold this book so tight youll leave thumbprints on the page.Mark Leggatt, author of The London Cage
A superb political as well as military thriller, The Red Line stitches an all-too-plausible doomsday scenario that pulls no punches in scoring a literary knockout. Terrifyingly prescient in its premise and scarily spot-on in its execution, Walt Graggs debut novel channels both Tom Clancy and W.E.B. Griffin.Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of Strong Cold Dead
[An] impeccably researched, riveting first novelMust reading for any military action fan. Nearly every page reeks of the smoke of battle and the stench of death.Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Reads brilliantly.John Batchelor, nationally syndicated talk show host
Walt Gragg is an attorney and former state prosecutor. He is a Vietnam veteran, who served at United States European Headquarters in Germany, where the idea for The Red Line took shape. Being privy to the actual American plan for the conduct of the defense of Germany, and having participated in a number of war games while in Germany, gave Gragg the knowledge and experience to lend authenticity to many of the novel's events.
