Ghost Fleet
Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War | P.W. Singer, August Cole
5 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 29 to read
What will the next global conflict look like? Find out in this ripping, near-futuristic thriller. The United States, China, and Russia eye each other across a twenty-first century version of the Cold War, which suddenly heats up at sea, on land, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace. The fighting involves everything from stealthy roboticdrone strikes to old warships from the navys ghost fleet. Fighter pilots unleash a Pearl Harborstyle attack; American veterans become low-tech insurgents; teenage hackers battle in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley billionaires mobilize for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta. Ultimately, victory will depend on blending the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future. Ghost Fleet is a page-turning speculative thriller in the spirit of The Hunt for Red October. The debut novel by two leading experts on the cutting edge of national security, it is unique in that every trend and technology featured in the novel no matter how sci-fi it may seem is real, or could be soon.

How do you police an empire when you‘ve got a shrinking economy relative to the world‘s and a population no longer so excited to meet those old commitments?

Lunch time! Of course, what would lunch be without a good book. In this case, a great book! (Really enjoying this one!)

Ideas and principles transcend time and place. They are carried only temporarily within the minds of man, but are carried eternally within the words of books. If only people humbled themselves before the accumulated knowledge of all those who went before us *sighs* 😔.

[DELETED] 3323341091 so many lessons ignored... 8y
MrBook Yep @fern 😕 8y
AmyWrites Wow. I'm sort of stunned into silence reading that. 8y

Pulled out my new read while taking a break by this guy yesterday. He's very solemn. Guess it goes with having to guard the library 24/7 from malefactors. And all he gets is a stone platform with which to lounge upon.

AmyWrites Ah, I recognize him. Got married in New York City in Grand Central and we stopped by the library during our last few hours in the city before our flight home. 😃 8y
MrBook @AmyWrites 😁👍🏻 You got married in Grand Central?! Wow! You can also get married in The Strand's Rare Books Room 😊. 8y
LitHousewife Love!!! I wish I could read by the guardians of the library! 8y

Laalaleighh Isn't that the book the CIA gets all its recruits to read? How is it? 8y
MrBook @LitHousewife Bucket list entry then? 8y
MrBook @Laalaleighh It's great! Just read the first three pages and your jaw will drop. 😁 8y
LauraBeth @mrbook I miss that library. The biggest factor in deciding on going on a date with my now hubby was when he pulled out his wallet in front of me and I saw he had a NYPL card. That was all it took 😀 it was brown and had a picture of the Lion on it. Of course I had my own but seeing that he had one sealed the deal 8y
[DELETED] 2232195534 I'll just say that my recent view of this lion included some guys running willy-nilly down the steps and away from the library. After seeing the new Ghostbusters movie, we had to revisit the original. Can't beat some of those lines! So, are you the Keymaster or the Gatekeeper?? 👻👻 8y
LitHousewife @MrBook Yes! That will be a happy day, too. 8y
MrBook @LauraBeth 😂😂😂👍🏻 You two were off to a solid start! 8y
MrBook @kaysreadinglife In the movie, I'd be Gozer, lol: "Are you a god?" "No." "Then die!" ? 8y
AmyWrites I did! It was lovely! Lots of New Yorkers calling out congratulations to us as we walked through the terminal (we were just in a dress and a suit, but I carried a little bouquet) and one little girl even ran up and hugged me during photographs. 😍 8y
kristina_with_a_k But he has Fortitude, so he must soldier on! #nypl 8y
MrBook @AmyWrites Sounds fantastic! 😊👍🏻 8y
MrBook @kristina_with_a_k Indubitably! 😎👍🏻 8y
Susanita I had a picnic by the lion with a friend of mine many moons ago. It was my first taste of sun dried tomatoes, which were a rare novelty at the time, to give you an idea of just how long ago. 🤓 8y
Lidia I just have to read it now! I visited NY last year and NYPL was my favorite place. I have to go back there one day 8y
heikemarie One of my favorite memories is taking a crew of fifth graders to the NYPL - we all took a pic with the lions, then silently filed in, found seats, and read. It was glorious. 8y
MrBook @Susanita @Lidia @inwhichHeikereadsharder Sounds like you all have fond memories of the spot 😊👍🏻. Here's an unfortunate miscellaneous fact: the NYPL system has around 95 branches, of which only 5--yep, only FIVE--are open on Sundays, of which 3 of those don't open until the afternoon! 8y

My four traveling companions/shadows I currently have with me at all times outside the house. One never knows how long one will be away--best to be prepared for all eventualities! God, I love books...

Autumnscribe I must stop to admire the transport device used to shuttle your companions around...such a beautiful bag. 8y
BookBabe @Autumnscribe thank you. I will take full credit for the bag. 😉👍🏻 8y
