The Communist Chinese leadership decides to move up their timetable to become the world’s sole superpower from 2049 to the present. Part of this is to unify Taiwan by force. They believe the best model for accomplishing their wider goals is to copy the comprehensive moves by Imperial Japan in 1941-1942. The CCP/PLA thinks they can replicate the successes of the Japanese, while at the same time eliminating the failures. By means of subterfuge, they strike their East Asian neighbors, Western Pacific sea lanes, and the key American naval bases in Hawaii, Japan, Australia, and the United States. They rely on advanced missile and drone technology and are initially successful.
This novel is a cautionary tale that warns us of the current comprehensive threat that is Communist China today.

HOWEVER - the narrator was horrible. Every time I heard him pronounce "Vietnam" (correctly pronounced Viet-nahm) with a nasal "Viet naaaaam", it felt like fingernails on a blackboard (does anybody remember what that sounded like anymore?). Additionally, it was hard to distinguish any change in his narration performance when listening to him narrate a male or female voice or (worse) an American vs a Chinese or Japanese voice....just horrible.
Sorry for this review but the book could have been so much more enjoyable with a better narrator.
Good Story - Bad Performance

Tímely Concept

The different characters should all have been played by individual people - NOT the same person - I say this as quite often the person narrating sounded like cartman out of Southpark and it was very distracting and almost comical which is a shame as the impact of that was to distract the listener from the extremely important message that the book is imparting
Interesting to listen to but needs a little more to make it sound plausible
