Monroe Doctrine
Jade Dragon had been crushed…
…China was forced to relent…
…but picking up the pieces had only just begun.
After years of conflict, the Allies emerged victorious on the battlefield. However, the World was left bruised and battle-worn. American President Maria Delgado had her hands full with the recovery efforts.
Blain Wilson would be pulled in…
…deeper down the rabbit hole than he intended.
Trying to avoid mistakes of the past, the United States limited its peacekeeping force and relied on allies. General Song appeared to be a leader the people of China could rally behind.
Would reconstruction efforts be enough to avoid a future war?
Soldiers who had become accustomed to war now had to readjust to peace—a return to life in a world they barely recognized. Many struggled greatly with this transition, medicating themselves with alcohol or by other means.
Who would find the strength to pull through?
What nations would be the ones to rise from the ashes of war?
Find out what happened after the war ended. You’ll love this exciting continuation of the Monroe Doctrine series because the characters’ fates are not always what they seem.
Get it now.

I recently had the opportunity to knock another book from my teetering TBR pile. About three and a half years ago, I came across this great little Facebook group, Military Thriller Book Group, which has turned me onto a wide variety of "new" authors - both mainstream, like Carr, Clancy, and Taylor, and smaller independent authors such as (Galen) Peterson, (Michael J) Lalonde, and (James) Rosone/(Miranda) Watson.
The Monroe Doctrine: Volume IX is supposed to be the final book in the series, but the author mentions as part of his reaction to my comments on the last volume's review (earlier this weekend) that "this series was quite long and that comparatively (as the fantastic writing duo of Rosone/Watson were writing another series, the 12 book Rise of The Republic series), according to KDP, he said the page count to be 4,720 pages over 8 books (Goodreads and a little bit of Excel formulae says that the page count was 3,376 pages, a moot point) and that the word count across the series was between 950 K and 1.1 M words.
As Rosone mentioned in his previous comments (on my previous review), "We followed characters from a Florida Army National Guard artillery unit, an infantry unit, a Ranger Company, a Green Beret ODA from 7th Group, a Tico Navy Captain, a Virginia class sub Captain, an Air Force ground attack pilot, an F-22 pilot who then transitioned to the 6th Gen fighter, a B-2 pilot, the President, National Security Advisor, and a handful of Chinese characters. It was probably too much. I'm paring some of that back in the new series to focus on a smaller group of units and characters this time around." I find the fact that he (or really, any author) can keep track of this wide and varied range of characters to be quite impressive and definitely worthy of kudos.
Plot and Core Themes
The series is set in the near future (beginning four years after the COVID-19 pandemic) and revolves around a sophisticated Chinese AI supercomputer, "Jade Dragon," which orchestrates a plan for world domination through a combination of cyber-attacks, deepfakes, economic destabilization, and conventional military force. The United States and its NATO allies must fight back, leading to a global conflict involving advanced weaponry and the ethical dilemmas of autonomous warfare.
With the war (and the series) commencing in 2024 as China initiates "Project Ten," unleashing advanced technological tools—including deepfakes, free global Wi-Fi, and a powerful AI named Jade Dragon—to cripple the West and gain global dominance (Volume I). Rosone then demonstrates his storytelling "chops" over the next five books as the conflict escalated into high-speed cyber warfare, disinformation campaigns, and traditional military engagements. Key theaters include island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific, battles in the Russian Far East, and ground combat along the Yalu River. By Volume VI, NATO and Allied forces face China's "Terracotta Army" of autonomous machines (volumes II=VI). He then uses the next two books (Volumes VII and VIII) to conclude the primary military conflict. In the final book (or "novella", as Rosone termed it at "only" 90,000 words), released in February 2025, explores a war-torn world's attempt to rebuild and navigate the resulting peace and personal traumas that are the result of the actions of the previous four years (Volume IX).
Though four years of hostilities have ended, the absence of war doesn't necessarily mean peace. China needs to be rebuilt, along with the US economy. And not everyone in China is happy with the peace agreement. Thousands of former Chinese soldiers are now without a job and anxious to avenge their country's defeat. The Artificial Intelligence entity, Jade Dragon, is still alive and still wants to achieve the goals it was given. In the meantime, India wants that same AI advantage, as it seeks to fill the void left by China, and America wants its own, more ethical robot warrior program.
The timeline of the events covered in the Monroe Doctrine: Volume IX is:
Post-War Reconstruction Timeline
The Immediate Aftermath: The war has ended with the Allies victorious on the battlefield, but the world is left severely bruised and battle-worn.
Recovery Efforts: American President Maria Delgado leads the massive global reconstruction and recovery efforts.
Peacekeeping Operations: To avoid historical mistakes, the United States limits its own peacekeeping forces and relies heavily on international allies for stability.
The Rise of New Leadership: In China, General Song emerges as a potential leader whom the Chinese people might rally behind during the reconstruction period.
The Soldier's Transition: The timeline follows soldiers struggling to readjust to civilian life, dealing with personal trauma and substance abuse after years of continuous warfare.
Intelligence & Political Maneuvering: Character Blain Wilson is pulled back into intelligence matters as he discovers the transition to peace is more complex and dangerous than the war itself.
The novel is purported to serve as a conclusion to the overarching narrative that began in 2021, detailing whether the world can successfully "rise from the ashes" and avoid the seeds of a future conflict (but in one of the comments on my review of the previous volume was that Monroe Doctrine: Volume IX "also sets it up for the human vs. AI war book(s) that was mentioned in Rise of the Republic series). Rosone, himself, mentioned " (That) once we finish the World on Fire series we begin work on that bridging series that connects the Monroe Doctrine series to the SciFi Rise of the Republic series. Once this third series is complete, we'll essentially have a series that spans a hundred-year arc of fictionalized human history.
From the warring nations waging a devastating Third World War, to the nightmare scenario in which AI determines that humans are the greatest threat to its existence and moves against them. As humans fight for survival against the machines, a consolidation of nations emerges as humanity starts over. In the end, what unites humanity in a common cause is its reach for the stars. With certain advances made in material sciences, robotics, and propulsion, man's journey Into the Stars becomes real. What awaits humanity in the void, however, unites us once more as we look to stave off forced servitude or extinction."
I found that the final book of the Monroe Doctrine series was just as exciting and just as plausible as the rest of the series. The storyline had a smooth action flow, and I found it hard to put down as the story was "thought-provoking" and "realistic" for its near-future predictions and integration of modern-day politics and technology, such as the dangers of AI and deepfakes.
As such, on my self-determined five-star scale, this is another book that I believe is worthy of the vaunted "five-star" rating, as I really enjoyed the book (and the series) with believable scenarios and its thrilling nature. Overall, fans of military technothrillers who have enjoyed the previous eight volumes are likely to appreciate the wrap-up provided in volume 9 (while those seeking a standalone, action-heavy novel might find it less engaging). As far as the audience goes, I believe that aficionados of the military thriller, techno-thriller, and military science fiction genres (including "classic" readers of Tom Clancy, Larry Bond, and Dale Brown, as well as more contemporary readers of Nick Ryan, Andrew Watts, and David Bruns) would quickly come to enjoy this series (and author).
As with all my literary ramblings, these are my five cents' worth.

The final book of the Monroe Doctrine series is just as exciting and just as plausible as the rest of the series has been. Though hostilities have ended, the absence of war doesn't necessarily mean peace. China needs to be rebuilt, along with the US economy. And not everyone in China is happy with the peace agreement. Thousands of former Chinese soldiers are now without a job and anxious to avenge their country's defeat. The Artificial Intelligence entity, Jade Dragon, is still alive and still wants to achieve the goals it was given. In the meantime, India wants that same AI advantage, as it seeks to fill the void left by China, and America wants its own, more ethical robot warrior program.
These elements all set the just recently "peaceful" world on a collision course for more violence, more chaos, and more death. How will the human leadership of the world navigate this new landscape? The characters that have survived this far are committed to doing what they can, but will it be enough?
Fans of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown will enjoy this ending to a very well written and engaging series.

Thoughtful and perceptive
I have rarely seen a book which deals with the aftermath of war and the dangers this period of instability presents, so thoroughly. Sadly, human greed and our unwavering ability to take advantage of such instability is all too real and is depicted with a sense of inevitability by the authors. So too is the effort put in by those who wish to make things better but as in the real world there are far fewer of them willing to act. I hope that this series doesn't (unlike George Orwell's 1984) predict the future of humanity.
Despite being essentially dark in aspect, this book is (as ever) a thoroughly enjoyable and exciting read.

I'm so glad i ran across this series
From the first page, I was completely captivated by this gripping military thriller. The narrative pulses with intense action and suspense, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. For fans of high-stakes military fiction, this book delivers an adrenaline-fueled experience that is impossible to put down. The author masterfully crafts a heart-pounding story that combines expert storytelling with pulse-racing excitement.

Fantastic. This book falls right in line with the quality, authentic, well written and page turning story telling we have come to expect from this pair of love birds. Really creative authors. I am sorry to see this series end. I really encourage the authors to develop a follow up series wheee we can see about unrestricted malicious AI unleashed and how the world can respond.

Monroe Doctrine A glimpse Into The Future
Roscone and Watson are superb story writers. Reading any of their book series will provide you with many entertaining hours of fun, history and mysteries to uncover and follow. The Monroe Doctrine is a compelling storyline. Give these two authors a read if you haven't done one of their books yet. You don't know what you've missing !

Monroe Doctrine Conclusion
Excellent conclusion to the Monroe Doctrine series. The previous book left me thinking what happens now that the war with China is over. I especially liked how the characters evolved and that Jade Dragon had not only managed to survive, but discretely breakout into cyberspace.

entertaining and educational
This book is a continuation of the monroe doctrine series that has captured the readers attention. It reads as if you are the character and makes you feel each emotion, anxiety driven anticipation and wanting to know what happens next. Enjoy the flow. I am sure we are not far from this future. God help us.

A stunning saga of the realities of war!
This series that I have been following for almost half a decade needs to be read by anyone who cares about our future. The strength of the characters makes them very much a part of your life. I highly recommend this series, along with anything else these two write, to every reader who enjoys a hang-on-tight ride.

End of a great series??
The end of the Monroe Doctrine is like the loss of a good friend. Each book is well written and compelling. The anticipation of each book was reinforced by the end of the previous book. I am left with “Is Jade Dragon going to make a cameo?”
My thanks to the authors for many hours of great reading and anticipate more to come.

Tremendous Finish
This a great final book for this series. Well maybe not a final one since it leaves some intriguing leads to future extensions of this series. Great predictions in the series that are becoming true in real life. The characters continue to develop as time goes by. It’s been a very enjoyable read. Thanks!

Epic epilogue
Rosone and Watson bring the series, The Monroe Doctrine, to a rousing conclusion while seamlessly gliding into the next adventure. If this is any indication, A World on Fire will be fantastic.

Enjoyed book 9 - new twist
Great storyline, some sad parts but exciting, scary, current time. It seemed very short, maybe because i couldn't put it down. Just wanted to tinnitus it and see what happened. The future is here!

JD hit more chacther after years
This book was released like it going be a historical record of post ww3 but instead it became a bung of sneaky information ops then at the end we’re left with a cliff hanger. Really it’s a good narrative but the author said one thing and left with a complex relationship of how now we wait to see what happens next.

Wrapped Up Well…
Although a little too short for my liking this novel wraps up the wars aftermath well. Answers some of the questions left over from previous novels. Good read & great to learn some more of what could happen…

Another great continuation of this great series.
Tis novel carries on the characters of the previous books. It helps tie up some of the loose ends. Hope there is a sequel to this one. Too much good reading to quit now.

Very readable
The action flowed smoothly, scenarios are well thought out and very believable. I found it hard to put down, and picked it up in anticipation of continuing a good read. I will be moving on to other offerings from this authority.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and was sad to see it end. I enjoy this type of escapism and the use of technology as it evolves. Keep up the excellent entertainment. Now to enjoy the next series!

great read and very timely
I know this was the final in the series. However, I can hope there will be at least one more. The seeds have been planted for a continuation of the series.
Thank you Miranda and James.

A fitting conclusion
A great way to end the book series with the AI finding its way out. Everything is nearly tied up in a bow, but leaves it open for a future addition its the authors want to revisit.

Hate to see it go!
Monroe Doctrine was the best book series I have ever read. It saddens me to think I will not be able to see the story of this new world play out. I hope James and Miranda find a way to keep it going. This series is a MUST read!

A thought provoking read
A very intense and interesting book - I had a hard time putting it down. Is this what future warfare will be like? Do we have to worry about the use of AI and robotics equipment going rogue?

The end or new beginning?
As with all the books of the Monroe Doctrine series, it is an exciting read. The aftermath of a vicious war where we won barely. The future is a scarey place and hopefully the authors give us one more to finish with a bang. Keep writing ✍

Very interesting WWIII AI thriller
If you’re into AI like I am, or worried about AI and It’s possible capabilities. Or just like a good military thriller, this book is for you. Thoroughly enjoyed the series!

One of the best series
It is difficult for me to believe that this is where this ends. The authors so fully flesh out the characters that, every time I sat down to read it was like having coffee with a group of old friends. If you have not read this series you need to start now.

Not up to par with the rest of the series
While I thoroughly enjoyed the full Monroe Doctrine series, this one fell short. It was way too wordy in many areas and several paths that really weren't connected well. The ending just fizzled out.
