Seems the old "Yellow Peril" is raising it's head once more.. this is the second book I have read recently that describes a Chinese attack on America. Somewhat different strategy with this one though - and quite believable - SCARY!! I liked the writing (once I got over the odd grammatical error/typo) and loved the main characters - even the baddies :) I won't be waiting for the next book - yes it IS a series - aren't they all these days - but I will be getting it when it arrives (promised before year end). Haven't read this guy before - always nice to find a new author I enjoy! no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesWar Planners (1) Is contained in
A CIA operative in Shanghai transmits two earth-shattering revelations to his contacts in Langley, and then goes missing. First, the U.S. government has been infiltrated with Chinese spies. Second, an inner circle of Chinese leaders have set in motion plans to do the unthinkable--to invade the United States of America. Lena Chou is one of the few U.S. officials who knows the truth. She must put together a top-secret task force to help America's government prepare for what will come. Now, in order to covertly plan the U.S. defense, Lena has gathered a Red Cell, a group of experts that will plan how China could best attack it. David Manning is one of those experts. After he is abruptly taken to the covert island base where the Red Cell is being held, Lena presents the group with evidence of China's imminent attack. But while the Red Cell plans for war, David suspects that something about this gathering of minds is terribly wrong. No library descriptions found. |

The idea was good, but could have been executed a bit more thoughtfully. The whole scenario seemed off from the beginning. But the action was good enough to keep me going, and the ideas the Red Cell comes up with are pretty terrifying. I enjoyed it enough to buy the second book (the first is currently free from Amazon).
