Lash-Up

Larry Bond's First Team: Fatal Choices

De: Larry Bond

Narrado por: Victor Bevine

New York Times best-selling author Larry Bond thrills again in Lash-Up, an explosive new novel.

In a bid to dominate Asia and the western Pacific, China provokes a military crisis with the United States and then starts shooting down GPS satellites. America has only a short amount of time to devise some way of protecting its remaining satellites or China will gain an enormous advantage in the coming conflict. The only way the satellites can be protected is from orbit, so an armed spacecraft must be quickly designed, built, and launched to fight on this new battlefield.

A team of soldier-scientists must construct a craft capable of knocking space weapons out of the sky. The fate of the United States rests on the shoulders of these determined people.

Just a matter of time.

Fiction for now but it Makes you wonder how long until it actually may happen.

A slow buildup leading to an explosive performance

The story can be a slow burner, describing the managerial and political dramas of what it takes to get a secret aerospace project off the ground at a breakneck pace in light of a war. While this sort of story is too often glanced over in cinema, it only adds to Lash-Up's believability. A little patience is rewarded well; it rises to an exciting and nail-biting crescendo you don't want to miss.

I know Larry and his work, this is another great addition to the collection .

The story Was creative and as an engineer myself I enjoyed the rich technical aspects and the attention to detail to create the virtual world

Great book with lots of technical details

I thought this was a great book! I certainly am no expert on the inner workings of the military and all of their contractors, so I can’t speak to the authenticity, but I really enjoyed all of the explanation and detail. This is the first book I listen to with this narrator, and I really enjoyed his performance.

Very Good

Any additional comments?

This books title on Audible.com is misleading. This has nothing to do with the First Team Series or any other Series Larry Bond has written.

a great one and done

I really enjoyed this, not as much action as I normally go for but the build up was strong and the science seem to line up well. I like the fact that it was complete and didn't leave you at a point where there needed to be a second book..

realism

This techno thriller stands out because it is so grounded on the reality of work in industry, military, and politics. The characters are able to cut through real obstacles to develop a much needed progressive aircraft.
