About this listen

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Gray Man series comes a startlingly realistic novel of World War III.

A desperate Kremlin takes advantage of a military crisis in Asia to simultaneously strike into Western Europe and invade east Africa in a bid to occupy three rare Earth mineral mines that will give Russia unprecedented control over the world's hi-tech sector for generations to come.

Pitted against the Russians are a Marine lieutenant colonel pulled out of a cushy Pentagon job, a French Special Forces captain and his intelligence operative father, a young Polish partisan fighter, an A-10 Warthog pilot, and the commander of an American tank platoon who, along with his German counterpart, fight from behind enemy lines.

Through grand land, sea, and air battles to a small unit fighting hand-to-hand in the jungle, Russia and the US face off in a terrifying but thrilling battle for world dominance - with constant the threat of a Russian nuclear detonation ever present.

I liked the veracity and believability of the story. Attention to detail and a good composition of minor and major characters who were relatable

Would make a good B-grade movie. Waste of a credit.

An obsolete and far fit concept in this novel. Rivers of tears for the Americans lost in battle, Russians portrayed as arrogant and inflexible. Goes on for far too long little focus on character development. Needs a better AI to write the story.

**BRILLIANT** ONE OF THE AUTHOR'S BEST EVER

Mark Greaney's RED METAL is packed full of Action & Suspence almost from the first chapter till the end. The listener hardly has a chance to breathe in this fast moving action packed WW3 Novel. I binged 21 hours and I listened to it in 2 days. highly recommend RED METAL. You won't be sorry.
