Nominated for the Skroutz Book Awards 2025.

Easter Day, 2030, 08:00 a.m. Mobile phones in Athens, Thessaloniki, the Aegean, and Evros vibrate with successive 112 alerts, warning of an imminent missile attack. A nightmare has just begun—one that no one dared to predict. 

In shock, Greece is called upon to find solutions to the bombings and shortages, as well as the courage to bury its dead and fight... alone, in a prolonged total war that no international actor can stop.

The third chapter of the Aegean Zero Hour series reaches the climax of the Greek-Turkish war, depicting a country and its citizens under Siege. With relentless pace and uncompromisingly vivid descriptions, it unfolds the odyssey of mobilization, survival in Evros, and the fierce resistance in the Aegean, through deeply human stories of loss, comfort, doubt, faith, cowardice, and heroism, all irrevocably converging toward the Day of Judgment.

      The entire series of books Aegean Zero Hour is excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in military topics, or even those who enjoy war novels and movies, with an emphasis on realism. The only negative I could think of is that the rather detailed descriptions of weapon systems might alienate or tire those not familiar with military matters (inevitably, one thinks of the average female reader).

      Of the three books, this was—in my opinion—the best. More action, more intense emotion, an excellent plot that keeps you constantly on edge. You don't want it to end!

      However, personally I would have preferred it to have a complete ending, like the other two. The fact that it leaves open threads for the next book left me a bit "out in the cold." I would have liked it to stand alone, without depending on the sequel.

      In contrast to the first book which I enjoyed, this one really tired me and the reason I wanted to finish it was just to get the story over with. Unfortunately, the goal here seems to be to drag the plot on indefinitely in order to multiply sales. In hindsight, I would have preferred to have read the summary because it would have saved me my time.
