The book Future Attack by Stephen Micheal is not your regular thriller story. In this book, Special Agents are protecting the past, securing the present, and preserving the future of America and its allies against a future attack. Slay, the lead character, has just graduated and joined the army, leaving behind his family and girlfriend. During his training, he meets Hunter, and they become teammates, working together on various missions assigned by the US government. Along the way, they encounter Uncle George, also known as Ambush. Slay and Ambush embark on a journey (1991) to the past, leaving Hunter behind to handle snipers during a mission with Iraqi troops. However, when Slay and Ambush attempt to return from their journey, Hunter is nowhere to be found. Fast forward to August 2001, when a secret agent codenamed The White Dragon is sent to reverse the assassination of Sheikh Khalid, also known as Doctor Propaganda. Who is The White Dragon? Why is the Sheikh targeted for assassination? Who are the sponsors of The White Dragon? What role will Slay and Ambush play in all of this? Find out in this captivating and conceptually rich book.

I appreciate how the author tells the story, as the suspense surrounding Hunter's whereabouts is top-notch. Reading the book, I felt immersed in the world of service members, and I thoroughly enjoyed each chapter. The author excels at character development, making it easy to become familiar with each character. It is evident throughout the book that the author is an ex-military man who deeply understands the subject matter.

I particularly enjoyed the strong bond of friendship between the three main characters and their genuine concern for Hunter. The plot twists and the choices they are forced to make between family, friends, lovers, and the safety of their country are fascinating. The author skillfully blends elements of the future with the past, and the connection to President JFK's assassination is commendable.

While I enjoyed the book overall, I would have preferred if the author had provided immediate explanations or meanings of the technical terms used instead of referencing them with numbers. This aspect of the book was a bit distracting and could have been improved.

Nevertheless, Future Attack was an enjoyable and professionally edited book. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars, primarily due to the abovementioned dislike. I highly recommend it to military personnel, war enthusiasts, and fans of mission-themed books.
