"A novel that reads like science fiction but bristles with rich detail about how the next World War could be fought." —Vice
“A modern-day successor to tomes such as The Hunt for Red October from the late Tom Clancy.” –USA Today
What Will World War III Look Like?
Ghost Fleet is a page-turning imagining of a war set in the not-too-distant future. Navy captains battle through a modern-day Pearl Harbor; fighter pilots duel with stealthy drones; teenage hackers fight in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley billionaires mobilize for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta. Ultimately, victory will depend on who can best blend the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future. But what makes the story even more notable is that every trend and technology in book—no matter how sci-fi it may seem—is real.
The debut novel by two leading experts on the cutting edge of national security, Ghost Fleet has drawn praise as a new kind of technothriller while also becoming the new “must-read” for military leaders around the world.
“A wild book, a real page-turner.”—The Economist
“Ghost Fleet is a thrilling trip through a terrifyingly plausible tomorrow. This is not just an excellent book, but an excellent book by those who know what they are talking about. Prepare to lose some sleep.”—D. B. Weiss, writer of HBO’s Game of Thrones
“It’s exciting, but it’s terrifying at the same time.”—General Robert Neller, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps

Thinking about the war between the US and China
As the tension between the US and China is escalating, I am worried that this novel might become real not fiction. This book gives us a positive expectation although the US looks weak and impotent these days.
Loved it!
Ambition, determination, arrogance, heroics, war - intel, cyber, technology and a fight for democracy. Well written. The ending felt like it was cut short and missing a few chapters. It sort of just ends. Other than that was amazing and terrifying in how plausible it all is.
Couldn’t Put It Down
Not since Tom Clancy have I read a book more riveting. I simply could not put this book down. For the first time in years I was emotionally connected to the characters. Would make a great movie but Hollywood would destroy it due to their allegiance to the CCP.
