About this ebook
Another high-stakes military techno thriller from the award-winning author of 'Sea of Shadows' and 'The Seventh Angel"
Three Tibetan rebels attack a train carrying Chinese soldiers into the Tibet Autonomous Region. The rebels escape across the Himalayas into India, unaware that the son of China's First Vice-Premier lays maimed and dying among the burning wreckage of the train.
As an escalating series of retaliations drive China and India toward outright war, hostilities spill over into the sea, and the Bay of Bengal becomes a crucible of naval warfare. The president of the United States orders a U.S. Navy strike group into the area as a stabilizing force, but the situation between the two nations has already deteriorated beyond any hope of peaceful resolution.
With Asia hovering on the brink of annihilation, a small force of U.S. warships must defeat the Chinese Navy to preempt the coming firestorm.
A SINGLE SPARK CAN IGNITE A WAR THAT CONSUMES THE WORLD. The fuse has already been lit...
"High stakes on the high seas. A riveting drama of 21st century warfare ripped from tomorrow's headlines. Jeff Edwards proves again that he is the undisputed master of the modern naval thriller."
-- DIRK CUSSLER, Bestselling author of 'Crescent Dawn,' and 'Poseidon's Arrow'
"A fantastic and chilling take on how close to the edge of disaster our world actually might be. The adrenaline-fueled writing sends you hurtling forward like a missile."
-- GRAHAM BROWN, International bestselling author of 'The Storm,' and 'The Eden Prophesy'
"Impossible to put down! Jeff Edwards has produced another spellbinder that puts you there! ...eerily prescient about where the next world war will begin."
-- GEORGE GALDORISI, New York Times bestselling author of 'Act of Valor,' and 'The Coronado Conspiracy'

Great story, but ended far too quick. Seemed too easy of a solution, as I'd he couldn't think of anymore plot lines to keep the story going, and took the easy way out. But don't get me wrong - what is there is an excellent story!

The tension and suspense didn't let up. Kept me up and turning the pages avidly right till the last page. Great stuff.

I loved this book from start to finish. Well written and very believable --- something that actually could happen today.
