Publisher's summary

Its name was Jade Dragon, and it said, “I am the future.” Had the Chinese government gone too far?

Deep in an underground production facility, far away from prying eyes, President Yao Jintao stood and watched—row after row of machines busily working to build other machines that would fight and destroy their enemies. Killers were creating killers for as far as he could see.

The terror was immediate. President Yao sensed they’d crossed a line.

Was it too late to turn back? South Korean and American soldiers stared down their Chinese counterparts along the Yalu River, just like they had 75 years before. With winter on the way and both armies dug in, who might make the first move?

Nobody was prepared for what came next. Out of the swirling snow and ice, there was movement. Someone was out there, or worse, some thing. Jade Dragon has just launched Project Terracotta, and the world would never be the same.

Would humanity be able to stop the evolution of the machines?

This tense fifth book in the Monroe Doctrine series strikes close to home, reminding us that we must all be prepared for when science-fiction becomes our reality.

Includes a special note from the author.

Outstanding

I’ve just finished, and waiting for vol 6. This outstanding novel (series) brings back my Marine Corps memories 1968-1972.
I’m there…

Realism

I really like this author. In his other series, some of his books can go a little long with too much detailed conversation between characters. But this book series is just right… Probably one of my favorite. Very realistic.

WWIII GLOBAL EPIC

This 5th installment of the "Monroe Doctrine" continues this enthralling China vs the rest of the world WWIII epic involving a wayward AI 'Jade Dragon'. The war's progression becomes, in this volume, primarily depicted from to the major military unit and geopolitical leadership perspective. If even possible, I have become even more involved with the rapidly evolving events and compelling characters of this amazing, thoroughly enjoyable series. For any who enjoy rapid paced, action filed, complex thrillers with unique, interesting characters, this book/series is for you. Now, for volume #6.
As with the previous 4 volumes, the narration by Marc Vietor is outstanding. I am quite impressed not only with the vibrant, and varied character voices, but with his injection of appropriate command, emotion utilizing sharp, excellent diction. I continue to be amazed with his constancy of individual character voices throughout not only this book, but of the entire series as well. Excellent performance.

James Rosine did it again.

I completely recommend this book and series to everyone, the way this world is going, and who we have running office and the country , is a complete set up for being invaded by China. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat can't wait for book 6 to come out . The Narrator is off the charts in this book series and keeps you wanting more.

Needs some reality

Great detail and insight on how battles will be fought. Let’s hope that the Chinese are as incompetent and suicidal in every way possible and every American is a new John Wayne. In my opinion it needs more balance with reality or the
assumptions made within are going to get even more of our military killed. Some of the plot lines are just not credible like having an entire army cross the pacific in cruise ships unmolested. Could be better but still a good read.

Military Fiction at its Best

Solid storyline. Action packed but not overdone. Marc Victor belts out his usual stellar narration. I love this series.
It has everything needed for a 5 star rating:
Evil AI
Dastardly bastard enemies bent on destroying every single thing that freedom loving people hold dear
Armed conflict on the land, sea (surface ships and submarine) , air and space
All technology is reasonably plausible - there isn’t some stupid mega-weapon that zorches entire continents …..

I give this book a solid 97.4 on the 100 point MILF (Modified Integrated Listening Fun) Rating scale. And that, my listening friends, is high praise indeed!

As Good as it Gets

I’m an avid consumer of the Monroe Doctrine series, sometimes I even have dreams or a few nightmares about the entire scenario. The action is concept, the theme is very plausible. Only problem is, I have to wait for the next installment. It’s a long time to hold my breath. 😊 The narration is generally good, the narrator’s voice inflection adds to the immediacy of the action. My only, very nitpicking comment is a few pronunciations that, to me distract from the flow of the narrative. On glaring example for me, a Vietnam Veteran, is the way the narrator pronounces the Vietnamese city of Hue. It is not pronounced as the English work referring to color, but is pronounced “Hua,” wit a l

better than Clancy

James Rosone has imo surpassed Tom Clancy as far as his Ted Storm Rising book.
