MWSA Review

In his book, The Gotland Deception, author James Rosone sets up the reader for a major conflict between superpowers in the 2030s. His description of the new AI weaponry is fascinating, and the worldwide settings he uses for the inevitable conflict is indicative of the author's good understanding of military strategy. Fans of futuristic military conflict should love Rosone's writing. I was sucked into the story and developed an interest in what the book held in store for a number of the characters. Readers of this book should be forewarned that this book is the first in the series, and that the story is left completely open ended at the end of this book. You will need to get the next book and maybe subsequent ones to know how it ends. If you want to read a good futuristic military combat and don't mind waiting for the next installment of Rosone's books then this book is for you.

Author's Synopsis

The world was on fire.
It didn’t matter who started it…
…only who ended it.

In the 2030s, the era of Putin and Xi ended, not with a bang, but in a poisoned whisper. In their place, new leaders emerged—charismatic, technocratic, and unflinchingly bold. As Russia and China purged their past, crushing the oligarchy, an alliance for future control emerged.
