Description
Tensions rise as two world powers, the United States of America and the People's Republic of China, find themselves at odds in the South China Sea. The respective navies dispatch flotillas.(br) What begins as a stare-down risks transforming itself into full-scale war.In the United States, American intelligence analysts discover the depth of their nation's technology acquired by the People's Republic of China, after decades of outsourcing, was now available for use against its service members. In China, a leader of that PRC effort to acquire the best of America's technology is called up to serve his country in a new role, this time in response to a crisis brewing in the South China Sea.Both sides feverishly work to size up the other, making moves and counter moves.(br) As stakes steadily increase, as is often the case, patriots in the Intelligence Community and Special Forces whose names will never be publicly known determine the course of events. The first of the Ring of Fire series, can the two nations avoid Thucydides' Trap and a world history wrought with bloodshed as the established power of the West faces the challenger of the East?
