It has been over a year since the war began. A year since China launched its surprise attack on America. EMP and cyber weapons plunging much of the nation into a dark chaos. Thousands of anti-ship missiles gutting the US Pacific fleet. A Chinese-allied North Korea launching an all-out attack on South Korea. Chinese information warfare campaigns triggering America to launch a nuclear strike on China's own nuclear stockpile. And the international political consequences that followed.

Brilliant
If you are a fan of IWar, Lights Out, One Second After, the 299 Days series or Tom Clancy novels, you will love this series and if you have gotten this far you probably have. This series really should be a movie series. In light of what happened to the remake of Red Dawn and the villain being changed from China to North Korea which destroyed suspension of disbelif, there is definitely a place in the market for this kind of movie. Never Again is now and it is happening in China. May the people of Hong Kong, Muslims in western China and all of the Chinese people one day receive the freedom and prosperity that they desire and deserve and May catastrophe and devastation in this series never be experienced in any of these United States.

this book soon had me guessing. for a long while I was not sure if the outcome; I'm still not. one thing this book does is gives you uncertainty as to where the direction will go. I can't wait to start the next book to see the intimates conclusion. so glad I took a chance in this series.
