The deafening roar of Chinese Air Force SC 27 Flankers shreds the tranquility of the gathering dawn. Within minutes burning phosphorus, shrapnel, and delayed action mines have ripped apart the main naval base at Cam Ranh Bay. Operation Dragonstrike has begun.. "By the end of the twentieth century, China had grown from one of the most impoverished, technologically destitute nations of the world to a regional superpower with global ambitions - ambitions that some in the Chinese government will stop at nothing to achieve.. "When a desperate China, weakened by the economic turmoil in Asia, seizes the oil-rich South China Sea, it ignites a furious conflict with Vietnamese and Taiwanese forces. As U.S. and British task forces arrive to impose order, the Chinese strike first, sinking U.S. warships and killing hundreds. Suddenly, Americans find themselves fighting a desperate battle on, above, and beneath the ocean, naval officers frantically try to out-maneuver the Chinese Navy, and SEAL teams fight a brutal action against elite Chinese Marine commandos. Diplomacy proves useless as the conflagration in the South China Sea threatens to engulf the entire world.
