520    "From two former military officers and award-winning 
       authors, a chillingly authentic, geopolitical thriller 
       that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in 
       the South China Sea in 2034 -- and the path from there to 
       a nightmarish global conflagration. On March 12, 2034, US 
       Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt is on the bridge of her flagship,
       the guided missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones 
       conducting a routine freedom of navigation patrol in the 
       South China Sea when her ship detects an unflagged trawler
       in clear distress, smoke billowing from its bridge. On 
       that same day, US Marine aviator Major Chris "Wedge" 
       Mitchell is flying an F35E Lightning over the Strait of 
       Hormuz, testing a new stealth technology as he flirts with
       Iranian airspace. By the end of that day, Wedge will be an
       Iranian prisoner, and Sarah Hunt's destroyer will lie at 
       the bottom of the sea, sunk by the Chinese Navy. Iran and 
       China have clearly coordinated their moves, which involve 
       the use of powerful new forms of cyber weaponry that 
       render US ships and planes defenseless. In a single day, 
       America's faith in its military's strategic pre-eminence 
       is in tatters. A new, terrifying era is at hand. So begins
       a disturbingly plausible work of speculative fiction, co-
       authored by an award-winning novelist and decorated Marine
       veteran and the former commander of NATO, a legendary 
       admiral who has spent much of his career strategically out
       maneuvering America's most tenacious adversaries. Written 
       with a powerful blend of geopolitical sophistication and 
       literary, human empathy, 2034 takes us inside the minds of
       a global cast of characters - Americans, Chinese, Iranians,
       Russians, Indians - as a series of arrogant 
       miscalculations on all sides leads the world into an 
       intensifying international storm. In the end, China and 
       the United States will have paid a staggering cost, one 
       that forever alters the global balance of power. 
       Everything in 2034 is an imaginative extrapolation from 
       present-day facts on the ground combined with the authors'
       years working at the highest and most classified levels of
       national security. Sometimes it takes a brilliant work of 
       fiction to illuminate the most dire of warnings: 2034 is 
       all too close at hand, and this cautionary tale presents 
       the reader a dark yet possible future that we must do all 
       we can to avoid"--|cProvided by publisher
