Editorial Reviews: Product Description Michael J. Coumatos is a former U.S. Navy test pilot, ship’s captain, and commodore; U.S. Space Command director of wargaming; and a government counterterrorism advisor. William Scott is a retired bureau chief of Aviation Week and Space Technology and a nine-year Air force veteran who served as aircrew on nuclear sampling missions. He is a six-time Royal Aeronautical Society "Journalist of the Year" finalist, and won the Society's 1998 Lockheed Martin Award for the "Best Defense Submission." He also received both the 2006 and 2007 Messier-Dowty awards for "Best Airshow Submission." With the help of New York Times bestselling author William J. Birnes, these renowned experts have joined forces to grippingly depict how the first hours of World War III might play out in the year 2010. Coumatos, Scott, and Birnes take the reader inside U.S. Strategic Command, where top military commanders, space-company executives, and U.S. intelligence experts are conducting a DEADSATS II wargame, exploring how the loss of critical satellites could lead to nuclear war. The players don’t know that the war they are gaming has already begun, miles above them in the lifeless, silent cold of space. Jam-packed with the actual systems and secret technologies the United States has or will soon field to protect its space assets, Space Wars describes a near-future nuclear nightmare that terrorists will relish but politicians prefer to ignore. In a quieter, more peaceful time, Space Wars would be an exciting work of fiction. But with the United States now at war, Space Wars is all too real. .

Fox 1 out of 1 found this review helpful A great read - Even though the book is fiction you'll gain some insight re: US security systems - hardware/software/their operations, how other countries interact with US (esp Iran) and a wake-up call for Western society. This should be read by all U.S. Citizens...especially the politicians Hard read, but incedible fictionalized story of true events May 26, 2009 LD Webb (Dearborn, MI) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is very detailed and makes it somewhat difficult to maintain concentrated, but the events as unfolded can lead one to believe that we are headed down that exact path. Descriptions of the Nov 2008 presidential election and the subsequent unravelling of American influence in the world are stunningly accurate right up thru the current date. The 2nd half of the book is almost impossible to take a break from. I intend to re-read this book to no doubt pick out more detail. Nailbiting AND realistic February 19, 2009 Anandasubramanian C. Pranat 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Unlike novels (even Fist of God), this is a real nailbiter that throws in a real world scenario. Space is the next frontier: already told by many, but confirmed now. The possibilities are NOT fiction and the author throws in a curve ball many times (the canadian woman caught and killed, the chinese laser attack against the spaceplane), etc. Fine, if you like bad right-wing US gamer writing January 19, 2009 Darth (Avalon, NSW Australia) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful Even though I read some reviews like mine prior to buying (or reading) this title, I thought I'd take the chance, since the topic is interesting. Pity. The topic is still good, but this book is awful. It's written very much from a right wing US "us jarheads know everything" point of view. All the civs are dumb, whiney, paunchy and badly-dressed (except when they are retired military). The military types are all cleancut ramrods who cuss. They all look like Roger Ramjet. Their management style leaves a little to be desired (mainly cussing and getting impatient with the civs). They probably chew tobacco too. To like this book I would have had to be the sort of person who beleves in the "nook 'em til the rubble dances" school. Like the majority, both in the US and worldwide, I'm not. I'm writing this as president-elect Obama arrives in Washington to deliver his Inauguration Address. Let's hope he can change the future - if this book reflects any sort of underlying reality he will have his work cut out for him. It's a great pity; there's still room out there for an intelligent well-written novel on this issue. But this ain't it. To sum up: a waste of money and paper.
