Book Reviews of Final Blackout
Book Review: Pulp fiction what-if war novel
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a pulp fiction, sci-fi novel. Kind of comic book stuff, which makes it an easy read. There is no suspense, clever plots, internal dialogues or character development.
I liked the book for its simplicity and concept of a post World War II. After years of fighting, Europe is covered with roving bands of soldiers, who take food and weapons wherever they travel. They eventually re-conquer England and set up a prosperous and fair government. After a few years, their peace is disrupted by an invading force from the U.S.A. under the pretense that they violated some international law. (This is really Deja vu regarding the Middle East and several of the U.N. Peace Keeping "Humanitarian" missions.)
While Peace Keeping, in Croatia, (former Yugoslavia) I heard reports of the same roving kind of private army bands, pillaging across the country. So, this scenario is very possible. Any history buff or soldier can also relate to concepts of the "field soldiers/officers" and the lazy, self-serving bureaucrats that make up "the brass."
While this is not great book, it is thought-provoking to what could have happened in Europe or Asia, if the west had not intervened.

Summary of Final Blackout
London 1975. The World War is grinding to a halt. A force more sinister than Hitler's Nazi regime has seized control of Europe and is systematically destroying every adversary. Ordered by his superiors to return to British Headquarters, located in a vast underground fortress, "the Lieutenant" is torn between abiding by military codes and doing what he knows is right for his country.War Books
