“Packed with intense, realistic combat action set in an all-too-believable near future. Zac Topping doesn’t give you a view from above…he slams you right down in the muck. He has been there and done that, and he delivers riveting combat scenes that explode off of the page.”
—Colonel, US Army (Ret.) Michael Mammay, author of The Planetside series

“Topping, a U.S. Army veteran, pays attention to moral issues while taking care not to overly demonize either side, but it’s the heroic characters and meticulously rendered battle scenes that make this a standout. This is a must for fans of the genre.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Topping, who has served two tours in Iraq, does a phenomenal job of using dialogue and scene details to impart the raw and dangerous wartime conditions that surround his characters. He focuses on the impact that unrelenting pain and helplessness have on the human soul—and how the thirst for power can corrupt the best of intentions. Wake of War will resonate with all readers who enjoy thrillers that reflect real-world crises.”
