[Revised edition Dec 2015] The first of a series of books that cover World War Three, from July 1945 through to its close in September 1947.
From the cold waters of the Baltic to a coffee shop in Turkey, a Chateau in Alsace to paddy fields in China, a foxhole in Northern Germany to the Kremlins private offices, the Red Gambit series will carry you through the events that lead up to and continue through what became known as World War Three.
Told from the point of view of the soldiers in the frontline, aircraft pilots, submarine and tank commanders and on to the Supreme Commanders on either side of the divide.
Ride with Colonel of Tanks Arkady Yarishlov of the Red Army, fight alongside Major John Ramsey VC of the Black Watch, learn about leadership and honour from ex-SS Standartenfuher Ernst-August Knocke and follow Major Marion J Crisp to glory with the 101st US Airborne Division.
Soldiers who had been fighting for years could look up at the summer sky and know that death would not visit them that day.
It was the pause but they didn't know it.
March 2013 revisions attend to spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in sixth edition, plus coloured maps and some new graphics.
[The ‘Red Gambit Series’ novels are works of fiction, and deal with fictional events. Most of the characters therein are a figment of the author’s imagination. Without exception, those characters that are historical figures of fact or based upon historical figures of fact are used fictitiously, and their actions, demeanour, conversations, and characters are similarly all figments of the author’s imagination.]

About the Author
Colin Gee was born on 18th May 1957 in Haslar Naval Hospital, Gosport, UK, spending the first two years of his life at the naval base in Malta. At the age of 3 he went to live with his grandparents, who brought him up. In 1975 he joined the Fire Brigade and retired in 2007, having achived the rank of Sub-Officer, Watch Commander. After 32 years in the Fire Service reality suddenly hit and Colin found himself in need of a proper job! Colin is now in full-time employment within the NHS. At this moment in time Colin has two daughters, one step-daughter, two step-sons and five grandchildren. In 1992 Colin joined the magistracy, having wandered in from the street to ask how someone becomes a beak, and left in 2005. The experience taught him the true difference between justice and the law, the former being what he would have preferred to administer. Red Gambit was researched initially over ten years ago but work and life changes prevented it from blossoming. Now it has become five books instead of one, as more research is done and more lines of writing open themselves up. Colin writes for the pleasure it brings him and hopefully the reader. The books are not intended to be modern day 'Wuthering Heights' or 'War and Peace'. They contain a story which Colin thinks is worth the telling and to which task he set his inexperienced hand. Enjoy them all and thank you for reading

This must not be the end
By Fastback9
There are two underlying conditions on which any story of alternative history or science fiction should be judged: given a "what if" that the author is permitted to assume, two questions must be adequately answered: is the story plausible and is it authentic?
The author here scores highly on both questions. He knows his history, he knows his order of battle, he knows the geography and deployments of the time, not to mention the politics. He expresses the thinking of the time in the attitudes of the men and women caught in the web of his story. He weaves them all together to create a spell-binding story of a sudden preemptive strike by the Soviets after the end of World War II. It a terrific and exciting start of an all too horrifying "what might have been." It is a wide panoramic chessboard, seen from the eyes of the Soviet controllers in Moscow as well as their subordinate forces, and the eyes of the unwitting, not yet demobilized forces of the Western Allies (soon, in our time, to be transformed into NATO).
The author creates an impressive novel worth of any "dead tree" publisher of how this dilemma might have been approached by the Soviets, given their apparent assumption that such a confrontation, some day, in some way, was inevitable, and how the disjointed, not yet organized Western Allied Forces, might have responded.
Great story with only one obvious flaw: [SPOILER ALERT] serious lack of ending. Note to author: "Outstanding. Please advise as to the status of the future stories in this series.

Probably the best-researched alternate history written to date.
By Bryan J. Goldberg
This is probably some of the best researched, detailed, and organized alternate history that I have ever read. Also, the author has a deep familiarity not only with Soviet and Allied command climate and military culture, but also military doctrine. In spite of such excellent command of the details, he doesn't lose track of character development. Indeed, his characters - on both sides - felt very real. As a veteran with a masters in military history, I have no doubt after reading this installment that the author has an exhaustive, encyclopedic, knowledge of World War II - from orders of battle to individual commanders. The author - unlike many in the genre - captures Clausewitz' "friction" of war also, with many surprises, intel failures, and fog of war to go around on both sides. Typographical errors were minor and did not generally detract from the flow of the writing. I look forward to reading the next volume.

Highly plausible "what if" tale of World War Three.
By Rodger Raubach
This volume is the first in an ongoing series of very well written alternate histories of "World War Three," that are riveting and highly plausible. As a qualifier here: the 4 stars simply reflect my dissatisfaction with the tiny scale of the included maps which I found almost impossible to read without getting a magnifier.
The present work certainly utilizes quite a bit of factual information re: the French scooping up the remains of the Waffen SS for use in Indochina against the Viet Minh insurgents. Refer to "The Devil's Guard," for details.
I found the characters to be well developed in this book, especially Standartenfuehrer Knocke, Major Marion Crisp, and Major John Ramsey. Many of the lower ranks are also well developed, but they seemingly don't last long in the context of the story line. But...there are lots of characters introduced along the way who manage to live long enough to make it into later volumes; a listing of "dramatis personae" would be appropriate in order to simply keep track of everyone.
The story itself really is the heart of the matter, and the provocations perceived by the Russians (Soviet Union) were probably there, but only in the mind of Stalin and Beria. It was this paranoia of the Soviet leadership which led to the hostilities described. There are some features that I perceived to be a bit implausible, such as the ability of the Soviet submarine force to be effective using recently captured German U-boats, but it makes a great plot segment anyway.
Overall, an excellent effort from a new author; I fully intend to read the entire series. (I've already read the first 3 books). As I commented earlier, the 4 stars only reflect the map scale, and not the story line which is excellent and worthy of 5 stars as a stand-alone. Recommended.
