Fourth Crisis: The Battle for Taiwan by Peter von Bleichert is a military thriller based in present day where China and Taiwan enter into war because of the actions of a power crazed general.  The US intervenes on the behalf of Taiwan and a full scale war in the Pacific ensues.  While fictional, this premise is entirely plausible and the style will remind Tom Clancy lovers of his early books.This novel approaches the conflict from a third party perspective and shows its impacts on all the involved parties.  This book will show you military conflict on the front lines and behind the closed doors of government officials from each involved government.  It shows how a spy among us can impact a conflict.Peter von Bleichert clearly did his research and the details that stem from it add to the believability of the story.  This story is a page turner and you will enjoy every minute of it.
