Publisher Description
In the not-too-distant future, massive climate change has wracked the globe. China's rice-growing regions have been devastated by typhoons, while its western breadbasket is suffering from three years of drought. Riots threaten to tear the country apart. With the old-guard Chinese government paralyzed by the crisis, a young, charismatic party leader steps to the fore. His solution to the unrest is a time-tested one - conquest of China's neighbors...and after that, the world.
Josh MacArthur, a mild-mannered American scientist studying climate change in northern Vietnam, is the only witness to a clever attempt by the Chinese to make it appear that Vietnam started the war. Escaping a massacre, he manages to gather critical evidence that could turn world opinion against China.
Unfortunately, the Chinese learn of MacArthur's survival and of the information he carries. A former Ch'an fighting monk turned commando is sent to capture him. Mara Duncan, a CIA agent, is also on MacArthur's trail. The American scientist has become the subject of a deadly race in the jungles of northern Vietnam, with the fate of the world in his hands.
Customer Reviews
Mediocre
This book had decent and well thought out characters like Major Murphy and Mara. It was a good book but it drive me crazy when authors put their own agenda into the book. Setting the stage as Global warming as a proven science which clearly isn't. I love both Bond and Defice and they write well together, if this book didn't have the Global warming garbage and liberal pitch it may have been as good or better than First Team: Fires of War Next time just keep politics out of it and make sure you give Al Gore his cut of the book's profits.

The idea is to escape reality, not listen to an out of touch pretentious author preach his views on climate change.
