World War III is like most wars. It comes at the wrong time. It erupts in the worst places, with the worst enemies, and it fails to unfold as planned during the inter-war years. Generals often train to fight the last war again, but they rarely seem to remember the lessons of earlier conflicts. Asia explodes as communist armies pour into Korea, Taiwan, and Indochina. An attrition battlefield-reminiscent of The Great War's Western Front-stretches from the Gulf of Tonkin to the Bay of Bengal. All over Southeast Asia Coalition forces find themselves in a strange situation. Their high-tech, 21st Century armies are forced to fight a 19th Century, trench war in one the most ancient and undeveloped areas of the world. All of today's "Digital Warrior" electronics, communication networks, and sophisticated weapon systems are brought to bear on human waves of Chinese infantry assaults. This is not a traditional narrative. Follow the war's progress through news reports and editorials. Then, letters home from a modern G.I. tell the tale of life in the trenches and the uses of today's weapons in tomorrow's war!

From the Author:

The Sugar-Sweet Smell of Fear is the last installment in my X-MAS War series. Other books include: Black Rain For Christmas, The Secret War In South Asia, and SIXTH FLEET UNDER. There is also an anthology of the entire war-with all four overlapping stories included. It's simply called, The X-MAS War. Each of the books is a complete stand-alone, but when they are overlapped there's an entirely different strategic perspective on the entire war. Enjoy!

About the Author:

Scott is originally from Northeast Ohio. The Sugar-Sweet Smell of Fear is another companion novel in his XMAS War series. His first book, Black Rain For Christmas is a techno-thriller depicting a conventional WWIII between the U.S., North Korea, and China. The Secret War In South Asia shows how terrorism and kidnapping could bring India and Pakistan to the brink of nuclear war. SIXTH FLEET UNDER illustrates the nature of modern naval combat in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the dangers of genetic-oriented chemical warfare. Some of his other books include, The Weekend Warriors and 50+ Ways to Play with Your Paintballs.
