   Modern warfare novels are difficult to write, especially given the current volatile and sensitive global situation. However, some are excellent. The novel *Climbing Mount Naroda* is a military game reference to the Soviet-Japanese war plan in *Red Alert*, but it depicts the Soviet-Japanese war with a relatively rigorous and objective approach. The undercurrents, the Soviet armored onslaught, and the realism of the war scenes are arguably the best on Tomato (the author's pen name).
