The End Of All Things: The Third Instalment (2015) - Plot & Excerpts

She pointed to the apartment complex the rebel sniper had been using to take aim at the Kyoto security forces and the CDF that had been deployed to assist them.

She pointed upward. “The Tubingen could level that entire building in six seconds. Pancake it into rubble. Sniper’s dead, we’re back on the ship in time for tacos.” “And then have the Kyotans pissed off at us because several hundred of their people are homeless, surrounding buildings are damaged or possibly destroyed, infrastructure compromised, plus a big pile of shattered apartment complex dead in the middle of the street,” Lambert pointed out. “You’re doing that thing where you think you’re thinking about long-term implications again, aren’t you, Lambert.” “I’m pointing out flattening the building might be unsubtle and not the best course of action.”
