Publisher Description
This time, for Admiral Jake Grafton, the stakes are chillingly personal...
Admiral Jake Grafton takes his wife, Callie, along when the U.S. government sends him to Hong Kong to find out how deeply the American consul-general is embedded in political money raising scandal. And why not? Jake and Callie met and fell in love in Hong Kong during the Vietnam War, and the consul-general is a friend from those days.
The Graftons quickly discover, however, that Hong Kong is a powder keg ready to explode. A political muder and the closure of a foreign bank by the communist government are the sparks that light the fuse.
When Callie is kidnapped by a rebel faction, Jake finds himself drawn into the vortex of a high-tech civil war. To save his wife, he must figure out whom he can trust -- both among the Western factionsvying for control of the volatile situation, and amoung the Chinese patriots fighting for their nation's future -- and make sure the right side wins.

" Interesting characters, plot twists and turns, good vs. bad, a classic spy type novel that is worth a read! The language annoys me at times, but otherwise, the writing is solid. "
— Melissa, 4/26/2011 -
" Good descriptions of Hong Kong. Plot and writing a bit too formulaic. "
— Michael, 2/2/2011 -
" Gave a clear picture of Hong Kong after the British left. Involved a kidnap and also the beginning of a revolt by rebels. "
— Jean, 10/23/2010 -
" I learned about a little about Hong Kong, plus enjoyed a pretty good story, but there was too much macho guns, military technology, etc. One robot fight scene went on for several pages! It's a guys' book. "
— Bernadette, 9/19/2010 -
" The story turned from a real life <br/>drama, into a science fiction, getting <br/>too violent towards the end. "
— Ray, 3/20/2010 -
" Good action but pretty cliched "
— MJ, 7/16/2009 -
" Another one that's good to "read" while driving. It's got an unbelievably simplistic plot: a handful of zealots overthrow the Chinese communists in Hong Kong. "
— Gayslade, 12/12/2008 -
" This one is pretty long. Sometimes I'm really into, but there are parts that make me put the book down again. Hopefully, I'll pick it up again soon. "
— Anissa, 9/5/2008 -

— Joe, 3/2/2008 -
" I like all Jake Grafton books - old and new. "
