Hello Die-Hard Patriots!
My second book Choosing Sides takes place in Washington DC and exposes stock market manipulations by the Chinese in retaliation for the failed mission into the Bo Hai Bay. Both Time Bomb Ticking and Choosing Sides create a scenario that highlights the threat of our national debt and the constraints it imposes on us as a superpower. Today the national debt stands at a whopping 19.736 trillion dollars. (more…)
Hello Die-Hard Patriot Fans! Book three is finally ready for editing and should be released as an Ebook this winter. Also, the audio version of Time Bomb Ticking has entered the production stage and should be released before Christmas. I am very pleased to announce that Richard Riemann is the narrator and I’m in the process of selecting a lead female voice to assist with the audio production of Choosing Sides.
In my novel, Time Bomb Ticking, Captain McGraw and the USS Charlotte are tasked to penetrate China’s Bo Hai Bay in a daring mission of espionage. To clear the bay of Chinese naval ships, the Pentagon stages war games near the Spratly Islands.
To quote one of my characters, Admiral Donavan, “The damn thieves are trying to muscle in on the Reed Bank oil that belongs to the Philippines and he (the president) wants to send them a ‘hands off’ message.” I wrote that back in 2012.
This summer we witnessed headline news as the Chinese continued to construct an airfield atop Fiery Cross Reef despite international objections. Not only will this airstrip give them military superiority in the region, but it will extend their exclusive territorial sovereignty, thereby allowing them to lay claim to the Reed Bank oil. That oil reserve is estimated by some to be the fourth largest reserve in the world.
In 1990 when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, President George Herbert Walker Bush responded with overwhelming force in Operation Desert Storm. Over the past two years, President Obama has failed to prevent the Chinese from island building and shows little interest in resolving the problem before his term expires.
If you were the Commander-in-Chief, what would you do, and why?
