Red Metal, by Mark Greaney (Tom Clancy co-author, The Gray Man series author) and Hunter Ripely Rawlings IV, is a Doorstopper techno-thriller/war novel published by Berkley Books on July 16, 2019 that imagines a World War III scenario where the Russian Federation goes to war with NATO in Europe. Except, Russia's goal is ''not'' to takeover any NATO members or even destroy NATO at all.In an alternate time span between 2017 and 2020, NATO forces Russia to surrender an occupied Kenyan rare-earth mine at Mrima Hill to the Kenyan government without firing a shot. Embittered by the loss, a shrewd and calculating Spetsnaz officer named Yuri Borbikov spends the next three years creating a very detailed plan to retake the Mrima Hill mine called Operation Red Metal. The plan calls for the Russian Ground Forces to invade and destroy the US African and European Commands in Stuttgart, Germany; all while heightening tensions against China so the US will be powerless to stop Russia from seizing the mine. The high-risk operation's success could mean Russia gaining equal economic strength with the US, and failure could cripple their political power.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the US, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Connolly and Major Bob Griggs are two operations officers working for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. They investigate an online intelligence leak that severely weakens the Indo-Pacific Command, only to find hints of a greater hidden plot.What follows is a globe-spanning conflict involving cyber warfare, special operations, tank battles, aerial dogfights, civilian militia fighters, and Russians using militarized trains. Yes, trains. | |

A Father to His Men: Male and female examples on both sides of the conflict. The Russian force that invades Africa is led by Colonel General Boris Lazar, who is this in spades. He has reservations about the whole operation on the basis that it may pointlessly waste Russian lives; and when his force ultimately fails to recapture Mrima Hill, he keeps their professional spirits up as they retreat to the port of Djibouti City.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
