Review

Jon Chang wraps BPRE around a realistic portrayal of a pair of PMC contractors in the not so near future Iraq...Just far enough ahead to see what is basically happening to Iraq now. Regional powers destabilizing Iraq until it splits apart, militias sweeping in during a power void, and Corporations taking advantage of it all to make a buck. I swear it's like Jon Chang was staring into a crystal ball looking at the future when he wrote this. It's almost eerie how accurate his portrayal of Iraq is in the few years down the timeline where this story takes place.- James Price, Death Valley Magazine
