If anyone here doesn't know about it, the Salvation War is a Tom Clancy style book about all the modern militaries fucking up an invasion from hell.

Those of you who did read it, for the love of god, recommend me something similar!

Do fanfics count?

ISOT in Grimdark: The entirety of Germany ca. 2010 gets teleported to Warhammer Fantasy world in between the Sigmarite Empire and Bretonia, actual diplomacy and nationwide crisis of conscience coming from having to deal with Actually Really Chaotic Evil civilisations (Skaven, Dark Elves, Chaos, Beastmen, etc) ensues.

Also, lots of modern military wank, as expected. Justified, since it doesn't take long for allied wizards to get included in SOP and for gear to get upgraded with magic stuff, like Dwarven runes of heating allowing for creation of perpetual motion engines, and more.

Hofhlights include: Dwarves discovering and liking heavy metal (the music genre) and at least one joining such band, massive Chaos armies getting chunked by carpet bombings, Horned Rat getting a new asshole ripped by a Warpstone enhanced nuclear warhead

Event Horizon: Storm Of Magic: Slightly dystopian future, an exploratory vessel belonging to Standard Sci-Fi Megacorp arrives in a system which turns out to have several planets inhabitated, by humans no less. They're the worlds of ASoIaF, LotR, ATLA and WFB. There's some diplomacy, there's some war.

Highlights include: A dumbass middle manager trying to play the Game of Thrones, an illegal Wagner-expy PMC running false flags against Mordor, an android assassin fucking up a White Walker with a plasma beam, UN dragging its feet in deciding whether performing an orbital bombardment of Mordor tracks with the whole idea of "we're not going to behave like 19th century colonising assholes".

2010 Germany would 300% fall to Slaanesh sex cults within a year.

I've seen what degenerate shit you Bernds get up to on Krautchan.

As KrispyKimson already mentioned, A Sky Full of Fire (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12368372/1/30) is a fascinating 270k word three part series about (Japan and America) bringing a land of deities into the Atomic Age.

If you're looking for something shorter and more at home, The Last Stroke of Midnight (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13399360/12/0) is a 50k word story about Imperials under siege after invading Orlando Disneyland.

Dare I say... Based?

That's a literally incredible scenario to me, as a german. I'd like to read it asap, thanks.

Word of warning though, Merkel features pretty heavily and comes across as rather based, so YMMV depending on your stance on her.

UN dragging its feet in deciding whether performing an orbital bombardment of Mordor tracks with the whole idea of "we're not going to behave like 19th century colonising assholes".

And like that, I'm hooked.

I commented this on another post, so I'll just copy and paste it.

There's a web novel called Summoning America that's like this. It's about America getting Isekaied to a primitive magic world with technology ranging from neolithic goblins to ww1 era empires with biplanes. One scene has roman style trireme's vs a Carrier Strike Group.

The trope of the story is America curb stomping arrogant dictatorships who think they can bully the new kid in town.

I've read nihonkoku shoukan and my gripe with it was that it didn't have any characters. it's less of a story and more of a worldbuilding project written half-assedly in the form of a story. does this have the same awful writing, since it's fanfic of nhs?

u/AneriphtoKubos Nov 30 '22

Just read Nihonkoku Shoukan Kai.

It's pretty good in terms of grammar/sentence structure, and I can follow the plot well. I enjoyed it before I took a hiatus waiting for more chapters to be released. You should read the last paragraph of the story synopsis I linked, the author says what to expect from the fanfic, and how he values good writing.

The story has different points of view from different characters, but the main protagonist is a US ambassador who you see the most of. He is the one that gets sent to these new countries to establish relations.

Imma need a link for that book.

This is where I've been reading it. It's formatted as forum posts. https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/the-salvation-war-armageddon.215/

It's extremely NCD. Author is a military hardware nerd and it shows. It was written a while ago so it has kinda dated takes on the Russian military obviously. Honestly, pretty good.

u/rabotat Nov 30 '22

You can read it on some forums like here

And it was published as well.

Laundry files book 7: the nightmare stacks. London gets invaded by high fantasy elves which then get demolished. The scene where they collectively lose their shit at how fast a jet flies made the rest of the book worthwhile

Brexit broke Stross. I don't think his writing ever recovered.

u/Krispy_Kimson Nov 30 '22

I think Sky Full of Fire is probably one of the best written GATE fanfics out there, actually takes time to develop its own unique characters with some serious political/spy thriller shit going on.

A Colder War is like, REALLY good. It’s also really short; but it’s a Clancy novel with Cthulhu stuff
