Just received a copy of The Devil's Halo, by Chris Fox. Looks like a fast-paced techno-spy thriller set in an alternate future. Judging from the Amazon reviews and the book's web site it looks to be a good one. I'm setting it next on the list after the one I'm reading now (which means it will be awhile, but at least I have something to work toward).
According to the web site:
Germany is bankrupt. NATO dissolved.
The leaders of a new European Union, led by France and Russia, are obsessed with "the American problem," that Europe still plays a global #2 to the U.S. Even in space, the frontier of the 21st Century, the Pentagon will deploy a space shield to deny this high ground to adversaries.
But a European spy agency has developed a technology solution to the American problem. It will destroy the U.S. military by turning it into a fighting force that will have to fight with its fists...
France and Russia...I friggin' knew it!
Thanks to the author for sending it along.
