My new books are here! Oh happy day! I want to start to devouring them all right now, but I think I’m going to have to savor them overtime!

The gathering storm is the first three of the trilogy. The Texas Front Salient is the fourth in the series. I apologize for the picture, but I took this with my iPad and I am still new to this

Scott's maps are very helpful. Spend a few mins. on them when you reach them.

Yer a pair o’ lucky blokes! Ye nearly got left behind! I just finished the first chapter! I am loving these books! Thank you so much Mr. Washburn for writing them! I’ve only got to the first map at the beginning of the book. I guess I will read that second chapter now I can’t stand to go to bed yet!😆

They are hard to put down. My sleep paid for it a couple of times!

Big Wally, you realize you need to read the three stories in the Omnibus (America in Flames) first, don't you? Invasion, Breakthrough , and Counterattack are the first the books in the series.

oops! I may have done this wrong. I just finished the gathering storm a few minutes ago. I thought that was the first book. The day after I received it and the Texas silent another book arrived the following day, with three stories in it. I thought the first of those three was the gathering storm so I just continue to read the single book, thinking they had sent me the wrong one!
oh well! The gathering storm was an awesome read! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish it could’ve been 600 more pages! Thank you so much for writing these! I tried to savor it and read it slowly over time but even though I had a busy weekend I still finished it in less than 4 days!
if you didn’t write such a great book perhaps I could’ve put it down and made sure I was doing this in the proper order!😂

Well, it shouldn't be a problem, although some of the characters in Gathering Storm, Like major Bridges and Commander Harding, were introduced in the first three books and there are many background events in them too. But you should still be able to enjoy them.
