Why read it?
1 author picked Sword Point as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
First off, I’m recommending this because it’s an amazing technothriller. Harold Coyle is much better known for his first novel, Team Yankee. However, this book is the first time we get to see Coyle in the full “world-building” phase (as Team Yankee was set in Sir John Hackett’s World War III universe).
Coyle does a very good job of getting you vested in his characters…then swiftly proceeds to show you he’s not playing around with mortal peril. Moreover, it’s written at the very end of the Cold War when folks believed in a powerful Red Army versus the "traveling circus…
From James' list on military historical fiction titles picked by a history nerd.
