Tankwar Nov-1989 Never heard of them before today. "Experimental battle tank XM-F3--'No Slack.' It can outrun a hot rod, outshoot a Soviet T-80, splinter Hind helicopters in a blinding flash, and cruise through a matrix of screaming steel unscathed. With Sereant Max Tag in command, the team of 'No slack' faces the ultimate enemy--and the ultimate technology--in the deadliest battle of all time. It is the dawn of World War III. Soviet-led invasion forces smash deep into West Germany, crushing all resistance. Sergeant Max Tag, trapped behind enemy lines, must lead the crew of 'No Slack' into a relentless do-or-die ambush. United with West German commandos, they advance--through a ravaged combat zone swarming with Soviet death machiens. It looks like a suicide run. But what the enemy doesn't realize is…'No Slack' shows no mercy." link
Pre-Bolo?
Has to be really, really bad or an undiscovered gem. Gut says the former. Anyone care to comment or give a quick review? Gracias, Glenn |

Really, really bad.
A friend gave me the first two or three books. There's a hot "damaged" babe and steamy sex in a war zone. Plot holes and military tactics that made me cringe. Bleagh. I donated the books to the local library. |

But the vote is very close – only a 5-vote margin between 'yes' and 'no'!  |

Only 6 people who have read them (or at least who are willing to admit to having read them). I read the first one shortly after it came out. To many bad cliches, and the protagonists success all stems from the fact that the baddies are both unlucky and incompetent. |

"military tactics that made me cringe"
I just want to note after these million years that the author consulted with Gordon Rottman, who is "Freelance writer specializing in military history, specifically World War II, Vietnam, and modern conflicts to include weapons, tactics, and special operations. Over 120 published books. Formerly a scenario writer developing war games for US special operations forces at the Joint Readiness Training Center. Twenty-six years in Army Special Forces, airborne, long-range patrol, and maneuver training units--Active, National Guard, and Reserve." So if the tactics are cringy, they must have been the best imaginable by experts at that time. |
