Synopsis

North Korea has one of the world’s largest standing armies, capable of unleashing a massive arsenal of chemical and nuclear weapons. With an unstable government, led by the Kim dynasty under absolute dictator Kim Jong Un, North Korea more closely resembles an organized crime ring than a real nation-state. Millions live on the edge of starvation while Pyongyang’s ruthless generals, crooked bureaucrats, and vicious secret police wage a covert war against each other to expand their rival fiefdoms. Red Phoenix Burning imagines the collapse of this corrupt regime, an implosion that triggers a bloody civil war among the North’s brutal factions. As the conflict worsens, the world is dragged into a violent and rapidly widening confrontation amid North Korea’s shattered ruins, right to the edge of an all-out war that could engulf the entire civilized world.Fans of the original Red Phoenix will be delighted to see favorite characters like Colonel Kevin Little, Brigadier General Tony Christopher, and Colonel Rhee Han-Gil returning to battle, older and wiser, alongside new cast of heroes and villains. Red Phoenix Burning will also offer readers a deeper look behind today’s headlines of turmoil and uncertainty—a look made all the more profound by the in-depth knowledge of war, military technology, and geopolitics brought to bear by Larry Bond and his co-authors.

A worthy sequel "RED PHOENIX BURNING" by Larry Bond A few of the events and plot elements stretch credulity a bit, but overall, this is an outstanding sequel to the original "Red Phoenix," not to mention eerily timely, given the state of current events. Nice to see the return of familiar characters li......more

Goodreads review by Scott on March 29, 2016

After scanning the first chapter I initially set this novel aside. The list of military characters in North Korea, South Korea, the US military and China given at the front of the book turned me off. But after a period of weeks I received a notice from the publisher wondering whether I had reviewed......more

Goodreads review by Vicky on March 17, 2016

For a reviewer of techno-thrillers, I knew eventually I was going to have to review a military techno-thriller series especially since the military thriller, starting with Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October, gave birth to this genre. So when I was given an opportunity to get a free copy of Larry......more

Goodreads review by Matthieu on June 13, 2016

I enjoyed most the classic Larry Bonds. At this time they were really innovative and used an accurate techno-babble. The story is not bad. We can believe in its roots and it's more or less what we can expect from the end of North Korea. It's just that - The story is not that interesting as nothing re......more

Goodreads review by Alexander on March 19, 2024

Having throughly enjoyed the first instalment in this series, 1989’s “Red Phoenix”, I was more than a little let down by this sequel. That is not to say it is a bad read, but I can’t help but feel it has lost some of the charm I found in the first book. Set nearly 30 years after the events of the fi......more
