An instant New York Times Bestseller! "Consider this another vaccine against disaster. Fortunately, this dose won't cause a temporary fever—and it happens to be a rippingly good read." -Wired "This crisply written and well-paced book reads like an all-caps warning for a world shackled to the machines we carry in our pockets and place on our laps . . ." -The Washington Post From two former military officers and award-winning authors comes a chilling geopolitical thriller imagining a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034. On March 12, US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt, aboard the USS John Paul Jones, conducts a routine patrol when her ship detects a distressed trawler. Meanwhile, US Marine aviator Major Chris "Wedge" Mitchell, testing new stealth technology, finds himself an Iranian prisoner by day's end, while Hunt's destroyer is sunk by the Chinese Navy. Coordinated cyber attacks render US forces defenseless, shattering America's military confidence. This speculative fiction, crafted by a decorated Marine veteran and a former NATO commander, explores the minds of a diverse cast—Americans, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, Indians—as miscalculations escalate tensions. The cost of this conflict alters the global balance of power. With a blend of geopolitical insight and human empathy, this cautionary tale presents a dark yet plausible future that we must strive to avoid.
