White Sun War

"White Sun War is a first-rate techno-thriller. It is an enjoyable read in and of itself, but its concept-driven narrative is what sets it apart from other books. The characters and their interactions illuminate ongoing debates about the future of war and how a conflict between the United States and China could well play out." ~Diplomatic Courier

"To be successful, future war fiction requires an author who is militarily expert, has literary skill and an imaginative gift. Mick Ryan has all those qualities in abundance, and the result is a book that is entertaining, thought-provoking and quite possibly prescient. Not just an engaging tale but a warning of things to come." ~Eliot A. Cohen, Robert E. Osgood Professsor of Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins SAIS

"A gripping account of future war that is equal parts entertaining and sobering. Mick Ryan writes with a credibility and authority that transforms this techno-thriller into a provocative wartime narrative that belies its fictional roots. White Sun War reads like a collaboration between Asimov and Clancy, an entirely plausible scenario that presents readers with a chilling vision of a not-so-distant future. An absolute must read." ~Steve Leonard, Senior Assistant Dean of the University of Kansas School of Business and co-editor of "To Boldly Go: Leadership, Strategy, and Conflict in the 21st Century and Beyond"

Mick Ryan is an outstanding military analyst, innovator, and advocate of fiction to teach about both what is enduring and what is changing in warfare.  How wonderful he set himself the task of a novel — and added fabulous storyteller to his achievements.” ~Kori Schake, Director, Foreign and Defense Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute.
