Roar of the Dragon
The warning signs were impossible to ignore. Massive Chinese naval exercises. American allies scrambling to form desperate coalitions. Intelligence analysts tracking ominous military buildups while Washington descended into paralysis.
State Department analyst David Kenner sees the storm approaching, but no one in power will listen. Across the Pacific, Captain Jax Miller commands Task Force Vigilance Australian and allied warships operating in increasingly hostile waters. In Taiwan’s mountains, Dr. Lin Mei-Chen prepares evacuation routes for a crisis she prays will never come.
In Beijing’s war rooms, Senior Colonel Li Zhimin witnesses preparations for an operation that will either establish China as the world’s dominant power or plunge the Pacific into the largest conflict since 1945.
From cyber warfare to submarine hunts, from Washington’s corridors to Taiwan’s threatened shores, professional soldiers and intelligence officers face impossible choices as the global order fractures. When superpowers choose sides and traditional alliances crumble, individual courage becomes the only currency that matters.
Washington won’t act.
Beijing won’t stop.
And the Pacific is about to burn.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
As one Amazon reviewer put it, it’s “refreshing to see a modern‑war novel that doesn’t rely on the US as the automatic saviour.” The story is very much rooted in current global tensions, featuring a plot in which President Trump is deceived by Chinese manoeuvring that shifts blame onto Taiwan for cyber attacks—setting the stage for a full‑scale invasion of both Singapore and Taiwan by China.
The tension is excellent throughout, with scenarios that feel uncomfortably plausible. The author clearly knows their tactics and political dynamics, and that expertise keeps the narrative gripping from start to finish.
Book two appears to be in the works, as we end book one on a cliff hanger awaiting China to invade Taiwan ; I’m genuinely looking forward to its release. If you enjoy contemporary military and political thrillers, this one is well worth your time. Brilliant.

Technically accurate and good pacing, raises an interesting real world dilemma and how a response could be made with well written POVs, look forward to the second release.
