about Hong Kong Redux
Is the battle for, or invasion of, Taiwan just around the corner, five years out, or starting tomorrow? Major Steve North, USMC, serving as Deputy Director of the NSA’s China Unit, is dedicated – some say relentless. He has a knack for seeing what others do not and, most importantly, acting on them. Investigating the murder of a dear friend and his family in Australia, he is drawn into a conspiracy with international implications. As parts of the plan are revealed, he devises a bold operation to stop a war, only to discover that some believe his actions may actually trigger the conflict, rather than prevent it. As ‘H’ hour approaches, new information and his knowledge of Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War’ help him reveal the ‘true’ objective of the plan. North counsels U.S. leadership to prevent another ‘Hong Kong Redux,’ where China gets to walk away with the prize, without a single shot being fired!”
