Title: Nothing like 'A Colder War'
Review: I was anxiously awaiting the release of this book after reading the novelette 'A Colder War' and hearing that this book is an expansion on that story.I was very disappointed as everything was different. The hero was changed from a family man, to a young punk kid, and moved from the US to the UK. The technology was changed from being old and alien to witchcraft. And an unnecessary love interest is introduced.The entire concept of the great filter that wipes out civilizations once they reach a certain technology level is abounded. And the whole concept of humanity on the brink of extinction is missing.'A colder war' was wonderful, and I was really looking forward to seeing how the story ended. It's a pity that the author decided not to try to dig his hero out of the hole he was in at the end of 'A Colder War'
