Connor Stark returns in this high-stakes naval thriller in the South China Sea.
Connor Stark has foiled China’s efforts to change political landscapes twice before.
But China won’t let him do it again.
This time, they’ve set up an ambush for Stark and his private maritime security company (Highland Maritime Defense) to take the fall for a massacre at a Philippine Navy base on a remote island in the South China Sea.
When a nationwide blackout and assassination of the Philippine president occurs, one of the largest terrorist groups in the world take control of the island and take out Highland Maritime.
Stark’s ally, former Diplomatic Security Agent Damien Golzari, is on the trail of an illicit human trafficking network that leads back to the island Stark is defending. Meanwhile, National Security advisor CJ Sumner is helping the US President manage the international crisis and navigate the destabilization of the Far East.
As an international coalition of warships approaches the region, it may come head to head with China’s fleet and start World War III.
Unless Stark’s team can stand in their way.
