Synopsis

More than twenty-five years ago, Larry Bond helped Tom Clancy write Red Storm Rising, the iconic techno thriller of the Cold War era. Now he returns (with Jim DeFelice) to start a classic series for our era, Larry Bond's Red Dragon Rising, which imagines the globe torn apart by climate change and its economic and geopolitical fallout. In book one of this four-book series, rapid climate change leads to mass riots in China, and a new communist premier seeks to relieve pressure by marching on traditional Chinese enemies in Southeast Asia. Desperately coping with its own problems, the United States wants to avoid nuclear war at all costs—but ultimately must fight to preserve world peace.

The third book in the series is mainly built around Zeus Murphy and his attempt to stall or stop the Chinese invasion of Vietnam. Mara and Josh are in the book a little but fade to the background when compared to the first 2 books. The last half of the book is more a conventional war book rather tha......more
