You know, Ashley, you might want to read Warday by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka (ISBN 0-446-32630-5)... It was copyrighted in 1984, so it's a little "dated", but the book, as a whole, is just so morbidly fascinating and believable that it's hard to close the cover an put it down.
I'll keep an eye out for it. I feel like I've been neglecting my internet "life" lately, including EW, Herscher's, and this Blog. Real life is kicking me in the rear at the moment. I'm working 40 hours a week and moving into my mother-in-laws. One of these days I'll have a spare moment to sit down and write something for a project. I get things started, but I don't get them finished.
Thanks for commenting, James, at least I know somebody has actually read things over here. ;)
