From two former military officers and award-winning authors comes a chilling geopolitical thriller set in 2034, envisioning a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea. On March 12, US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt is on her flagship, the USS John Paul Jones, conducting a routine patrol when her ship detects an unflagged trawler in distress. Meanwhile, US Marine aviator Major Chris "Wedge" Mitchell is testing new stealth technology over the Strait of Hormuz, only to find himself captured by Iranian forces by day's end. In a shocking turn of events, Hunt's destroyer is sunk by the Chinese Navy, revealing a coordinated attack involving advanced cyber weaponry that leaves US military assets vulnerable. This day marks a devastating shift in America's military confidence. The narrative unfolds through a diverse cast of characters—Americans, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and Indians—highlighting a series of miscalculations that escalate tensions globally. Coauthored by a decorated Marine veteran and a former NATO commander, the story blends geopolitical insight with human empathy. The authors draw from their extensive experience in national security to craft a plausible future, serving as a cautionary tale about the dire consequences of arrogance and misjudgment. As the balance of power shifts dramatically, readers are left to ponder the urgent need to avert such a dark future.
