things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"

the russians fall back, all the way to moscow

the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

He is a great author although I never got around to reading Airframe and Rising Sun. It didn't interest me for some reason.
I'm a big fan of Crichton, too. I collected all his books on my site and strongly recommend anyone to read them all. They really worth it.
