Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Armageddon is a work of fiction in the historical, military, and action subgenres. It is best suited to adult readers and was penned by author Thomas J. Yeggy as the third installment of the First Strike series. The book continues the experience of delving into Dr. Young's involvement with pivotal moments in history, including covert operations, aerospace engineering, and his efforts to avert the first nuclear strike by misleading the National Security Establishment. As the Cold War tensions escalated and President Kennedy grappled with the Berlin crisis, Dr. Young became entangled in the web of political intrigue, deception, and nuclear brinksmanship. Yeggy's narrative explores the complexities of international relations, military strategy, and the personal sacrifices made by individuals who seek to prevent a global catastrophe.

Author Thomas J. Yeggy brings together real historical events and fictional elements to offer something part-invented but totally realistic and plausible, creating a gripping narrative in the process that offers a fresh perspective on the challenges faced during this turbulent period. The book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the motivations, fears, and actions of key individuals involved in shaping global policies, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction with a focus on geopolitical tensions and nuclear deterrence. I also found the character work to be well-developed, deeply considered, and varied, spotlighting realistic figures caught in all sorts of interesting crossfires. Overall, Armageddon is an accomplished immersive journey into the intricacies of Cold War politics and the high-stakes decisions that shaped the course of history. I would highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction who want detailed well-considered narratives and vivid descriptions.
