Command & Control: Part 2

by Fred Ray

War is raging in Ukraine, threatening to spread at any moment. European countries, led by Poland, are pushing for escalation. New protagonists are approaching Moscow. Iran. China. North Korea. The Russian authorities know they can count on their logistical and soon military support.However, it is in the Pacific that a new crisis is fomenting. Off the Solomon Islands, China is caught installing new sonar arrays. Dispatched to the scene, the USS Jimmy Carter nuclear spy submarine, the latest of the Seawolf class, will fall into the middle of an ambush. Who is the hunter? Who is the prey?Over the pages, paradigms dating back more than half a century will be swept away, certainties erased. Torn between a hot conflict in Eastern Europe, which escapes them, and a clandestine and latent war in the Pacific, of which they are no longer the conductors, the United States will be confronted with their worst irretrievable loss of status.Fred Ray (pseudonym) was an officer in an operational unit attached to the French special forces. He now lives in London with his family.
