Synopsis

CIA officer Mara Duncan is on assignment in bomb-torn Hanoi. Her task: get scientist Josh MacArthur and a seven-year-old witness to Chinese atrocities in Vietnam out of the country safely. They are pursued by a relentless Chinese monk turned commando who can call on the entire Chinese secret service in Vietnam for help. Their escape is further complicated when SEALs, who are helping Mara, gun down Vietnamese soldiers, making them wanted by both China and Vietnam.Meanwhile, U.S. Army Advisor Zeus Murphy is given an impossible task: prevent the Chinese from landing on Vietnam’s coast. Heeding the President’s advice to “think outside the box,” he concocts a daring mission into the heart of the Chinese fleet in the harbor at Hainan. This operation will go down in the annals of SpecWar history as either one of the most daring triumphs of all time or one of the most foolish suicide raids ever attempted.Or maybe both.

Just didn't hold my interest. shouldn't have taken 18 days to read a book of this length......more

Goodreads review by M

Picks right up at the end of the first book in the series. Again, this is more of a spy novel about the personal struggle of a few individuals than a sweeping novel about a future war. I was hoping for more, and frankly, the characters in the book are just not that relatable. I don't care much about......more

Goodreads review by Bill

This is a good techno-thriller, well written with a good plot. I always enjoy Larry Bond, though not quite as much as Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Stephen Coonts, and Brad Thor. An engaging book and a fun read.......more

Goodreads review by Ramodar

Much to be desired. If you’ve read Red Phoenix and Cauldron, you’ll be disappointed. Read like a 900 page Tom Clancy book with barely 100 pages of action. The last book I read from Bond was the Enemy Within which was a disappointment and I decided to give this series a try. Big mistake.......more
