Publisher's summary

General Garrett Sinclair undertakes a rogue mission in the Sahara Desert to thwart an international nuclear threat in Total Empire, an explosive thriller from A. J. Tata.

When Sergeant Major Sylvester “Sly” Morgan is killed on a mission, his daughter, Zoey, tells General Garrett Sinclair that her father's death wasn’t random. Morgan had recorded a high-level meeting between Chinese, American, and French diplomats as they spoke about a plan for a new global government.

The “Chinese-U.S. Partnership”, or CUSP, intends to combine the world’s two largest economies and militaries to usher in a new era of partnership and leadership. But China’s offer has a deadline and penalties for noncompliance. As a safeguard, China has five high-tech hypersonic glide vehicles armed with nuclear weapons orbiting the Earth ready to strike. When Zoey disappears in Africa, seemingly while in pursuit of her father’s killer, Sinclair and Dagger Team are caught off-guard as they scramble to catch up.

Without authorization, Sinclair takes Dagger Team into Dakhla, Morocco as he attempts to save his goddaughter’s life. With too many missions to complete and not enough information, Sinclair and team discover that the Chinese plan is nearly complete. As one nuclear glide vehicle misses Washington, DC but hits Loudoun County, Virginia, Sinclair’s mission in the Sahara is to stop the Chinese from using its ground based laser targeting system before they can more accurately launch the remaining four. Facing insurmountable odds and without support from his government, Sinclair takes his team into the maw of the Saharan death pit, the Eye of Africa.

Critic reviews

“The authenticity [A. J. Tata] brings to Total Empire is off the charts. A master of high speed political-military action thrillers, no writer since Clive Cussler has so completely transported me to exotic locales or made them seem so believably dangerous.” —Robert Crais, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Racing the Light

Sci far more than fiction

Book had some really solid foundations about hypersonic warfare and how quickly things can go sideways and how greed can overcome people. However the fact of the French assassin only using his sword bordered on ridiculousness

Strap in and hold on!

General Sinclair and Dagger team rock this intense adrenaline ride from start to finish! Extremely well written and love to see it put into a movie!

Everything!! Everything happened exactly how it was supposed to.

I'm usually the type of person who never gives 5 stars for anything..ever. This book actually made me tear up because of all the personal lose the general endeavored. This series is something that I truly wish would continue on.

Total Empire

The narrator was weak! Story , okay. I usually enjoy AJTata’s books, but this one not so much!

A very unique story, very well written!

I really enjoy the Sinclair character, though the reflections of the past get a bit redundant. That being said, this is a very unique plot with tons of jumps and twists. It started around a 4 for me and ended up knocking on a 9 over half way through. Well done.

Weak president

Did not enjoy the character of the president. Weak, indecisive and not to be trusted

gripping and visual story telling

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ can't wait for the next Garrett Sinclair novel a favorite seiers like many others by AJ Tata

US government is depicted correctly

Most realistic part of the story is the level of corruption of the US government. The story itself is hard to get into because it is too far fetched. I like the Jake Mahegan series better. AJ Tata knows how to write a better story for sure.

Weak not too believable story

Weak not too believable story. Not nearly as good as the Jake series.
I doubt I’ll listen to more of this series.

Great Book if You are a 16 Year Old Girl...

Another flop by AJ Tata. I have listened to every one of his books and the Garrett Sinclair books are terrible. Total Empire story framework is pretty good. The Characters however are terrible. For the best so called "warriors" in the world they are constantly making dumb mistakes and Sinclair's constant emotional modes make me scream. Grow up Sinclair! In fact, I don't believe that AJ Tata actually wrote this book. My money is a Karen from Philadelphia.

Bring back Jake, and for goodness sake don't let him be a momma's boy. AJ. stop letting the woke editors from NYC write your books!.
