Cauldron Hardback - 1993

Larry Bond is quiet nearly the most masterful writer of the military and war, alternative history as we have seen in the modern era. Enduringly plausible scenarios that do not take a back-seat as time passes, remaining as fresh as the day they were first published. In Cauldron, he creates the beginnings of a world gone mad, on the brink of World War III. Worldwide panic runs rampant as a global recession of monitories proportions sets in. Europe fractures, as markets collapse, into two unions. On one side, it appears Russia is going to return to its USSR roots, looking to align itself with one European faction, while the US and England join the other faction. Caught in the middle, populations of third-world countries, nearly en masse, are migrating toward Europe at an unsustainable rate --- plunging industrialized nations further into havoc. Limited geographical strikes and wars flare up, with the consequence of world destruction looming. The End Day appears horrifically soon! Can it be forestalled? Larry Bond's expertise in the military and the government before becoming a novelist makes for realistically in-depth research for the thesis of his novel, and his experiences lend for technically realistic action-adventure that holds you to your seat's, edge and then slams you back. This was Mr. Bond's 3rd work.
