The year is 2026. China has taken over as the world's largest economy, while the United States, mired in an oil shortage, struggles to adjust to its diminished role. Then, a surprise attack throws the US into a chaos unseen since Pearl Harbor. As the enemy takes control, the survival of the nation will depend upon the most unlikely forces: the Navy's antiquated Ghost Fleet and a cadre of homegrown terrorists.

Ghost Fleet is unique in that every piece of technology featured in the novel already exists or is in the works. Peter W. Singer is Senior Fellow and Director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution and a consultant for the US Department of Defense and FBI. August Cole is a journalist and writer specializing in national security issues and is an Adjunct Fellow at the American Security Project.

Very entertaining, and very believable in its extrapolation of current technology into a future setting. Drone warfare and hacker armies battling alongside 20th century naval vessels. The Characters all felt real. The tension wasn't forced. Exactly what the blurb offered and more.

Massive enjoyable near future military fiction.

I couldn't stop listening to this book. It wasn't perfect by any means but I really enjoyed the story. At times it felt like there were too many things going on at once and not nearly enough character development but in a good way. It constant left me wanting more. This could easily be expanded into several more books in a series.

Fantastic!

Phanominal book that takes our technology of today and applies it to a very plausible story of what could happen. This book is in a way today's 1984 by George Orwell, scary true!

Reality shown in a fictional novel.
