The Profession

The Profession by Steven Pressfield
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this not too distant future war novel describes what international war and politics will be like. The events are definitely possible and thought-provoking. However, the first half of the book was tough for me to get through. Steven Pressfield was very detailed in including all the weaponry that the main characters were using during their exploits. I think I probably would have gotten just as much out of the story if he used "very big and deathly gun" or "heavy duty war vehicle". Of course, that would waste all of the author's meticulous research.

After working through the first half the of the book, the second half was well worth it. It was fast paced, heart-stopping action. The Profession was enjoyable for a war novice. For weapons' buffs, it would be a lot more fun.
