Summary
August 1991. Soviet hardliner Pavel Medvedev knows that only bloodshed can save the USSR from complete collapse. With violence breaking out in the streets of Moscow, few realize that he is piloting the Soviet Union on a collision course with its deadliest enemy yet: NATO.
US Marine Colonel Robert Buckner, passed over for a coveted command, takes a post working for Vice Admiral Falkner on his way to retirement. As the world is lurching towards World War Ill, he finds his way towards a panoramic view of the unfolding crisis with a pivotal role to play. War breaks out across the globe, but the pin falls in the far north, where soldiers and civilians alike must battle not just the enemy, but the unforgiving elements. With arsenals of high-tech weapons loosed in both directions, the ultimate reward may not be victory, but survival.
H-Hour is the first book of the Northern Fury series, which tells the alternate history of World War Ill's northern front through the eyes of those who lived it.

Some books need to finish
Do you ever get the feeling that the end of a book just creeps up and you know... with a couple of hours to go, you just know you've bought into a series book which is going to leave you hanging with that empty feeling inside, knowing that you probably won't get the next installment in a couple of years time.
Was the 21 hours wasted?... No. It's not a bad book: it tells a story and is well thought through but it's the literary version of Kill Bill Volume 1. It just stops.
It is one of the few books where the accents used by the narrator made me burst out laughing whilst walking the dogs. The English accent was identical to that used by Ross in Friends when he was lecturing the students... "Cor blimey me ol' mucker"
Sorry, but not for me - but it won't stop me hunting around for another one by the authors which is a story in it's own right.

Excellent story—credible details
An excellent story with good credibility in detail, if not overly realistic.
The start was slow but was required to set foundation. The voice over accents were sometimes difficult to listen to. Disappointed to find no book 2 on file because I would have continued the series.

Must Listen, Brilliant
This is a very very good book. Red Storm Rising by the late Tom Clancy is my favourite book and all books for me in this genre are for me measured against this. Most fall well short, this does not. As this is not the complete story, I can only hope the wait for the next book is not too long. There is a great level of detail here, I wish I had found the book earlier. It's a long one but captivating in its scope. I keenly await what comes next. Brilliant so far

Nato planners must have had a day off
Not a bad book BUT the problem with a lot of these types of books (James Rosone being another) is that even with the element of surprise, Nato always seem ill prepared with the same mistakes being made over and over. Several time I have had to stop listening or reading (both Audible and Kindle) as pretty much every Soviet attack works and every Nato attack fails due to poor understanding of battle tactics.
It feels like they always over estimate Soviet abilities and under estimate NATOs response and ability to have wargamed the potential scenarios before any conflift

a new star
Just excellent , on a par with Clancy's Red Storm Rising.
Action packed which keeps you hooked.
Disappointed that the second book isn't available yet.
The Narration on the audio book was really annoying at times, poor accents grates on me.

Sounds like a compendium of comedy accents
Story itself seems good, only managed the first 8 chapters though. Awful narration. Listen to a sample before purchasing, I know I wish I had.

Was NATO really this useless?
Gave up listening to this as I became so fed up of NATO losing so easily again and again, thought narrator was good though he needs to work on his Russian, Norwegian and British accents.

Boring & overpadded.
If you came looking for a more modern version of Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy then beware. It took over 7.5 hours before anything remotely interesting happened. Add to this the problems the narrator has with accents and this book became an excruciatingly dull read.
The fact that when it does all kick off you're not getting the full story (sequels will apparently continue this tale) and you can't help but feel you really should have spent your money on something else. Perhaps a nice large coffee or a couple of pints of beer. Caveat Emptor.

Just read the story!
Narrating an audio book is not an opportunity to demonstrate your (limited) voice acting skills. An unbearable listen due to the ham Russian accents. Can’t get past chapter one. I’ll buy the book.
