Brimming with heat-of-battle action and state-of-the-art technology, Sea Strike plunges Commander Amanda Garrett, first introduced in Choosere of the Slain, and her stealth destroyer, USS Cunningham, into action. After suffering internal revolt, Communist China sets out to end the war-with a thermonuclear firestorm. Garrett and her crew must prevent the holocaust before it engulfs the Pacific Rim. From a dadly open-ocean submarine hunt to a desperate journey up the Yangtze River, Garrett leads a raid into the heart of China. And the fate of one-quarter of the human race hangs in the balance....
excellent read
Sea battle with modern stealth destroyer
The second of the well-crafted series following the Naval career of Amanda Lee Garrett, this volume finds her trying to avert nuclear war in China. Superb action sequences and well-developed characters make this a must read. Highly recommended.
