With many military tensions building up around the world, it  is easy to forget that China's naval fleet is also expanding in numbers. The author Bleichert reminds us not to take our eyes off this part of the world which can so suddenly become very volatile.  This book is more than a little disturbing in its propensity to make this threat all so real.  The author really brings to life the hell of potential war on a grand scale. Bleichert clearly is an expert with detailed knowledge of the Navy and its operations.  The techno babble and combat operations are fantastically described and very convincing.The only real critique I have is that some of the characters could be developed more, although this might have made the story too long. On the whole, Bleichert hits a home run here, and is sure to attract fans of techno-war thrillers like Clancy and Koontz.
