Pawns of the Pacific is the electrifying third book in The War Planners military technothriller series.
While the United States is preparing for war with Iran, Chinese billionaire Cheng Jinshan and his wicked spy, Lena Chou, are moving their pieces on the board. Deception and misinformation are everywhere.
Now, in order to save America, the leaders in the CIA and Pentagon have set up a secretive task force at the CIA headquarters. Their mission: to thwart Jinshan's plans, and reveal the truth to the world.
Each member of the Manning family has a critical role to play. David Manning is brought in to the CIA task force. Chase Manning is sent to team up with a US Marine Corps special operations unit. Admiral Manning leads the USS Ford Carrier Strike Group, filled with America's latest and greatest naval technology.

Good Story, Narration distracts from the book.
The story is good on the technical aspects but some what predictable. Michael Pauley's performance distracts from the quality of the book. At times it sounds like AI reading the text, very unhuman.
