Red Phoenix Burning

The detailed depiction of military tactics felt very authentic. I'm curious whether real events or personal experiences influenced the story's backdrop.

The rapid sequence of events kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wondered if some readers might prefer a slower build-up. How did others experience the story's rhythm?

Larry Bond's background in defense analysis seems evident. I'm interested in how much of that was deliberate to enhance the story's credibility.
