YAWorld War II series.
Roman loves playing semi-professional baseball. Unfortunately, he's not very good. When war breaks out, he volunteers for the army and finds something he can do better than anyone: drive a tank. Here's WWII-lite, with fast-paced battle scenes in Northern Africa recalling video-game action. By book's end, however, Lynch has built a lucid, realistic setting for his new war series.
