Bultema’s latest pits two major powers—the United States and China—against each other, creating a thrilling political chess match between the presidents of both the nations. The story begins in the South China Sea, several weeks after a confrontation between a Chinese fighter aircraft and a Malaysian drone. Both the U.S. and Malaysian navies are conducting joint operations in the area when China’s naval forces order them to depart at once, laying claim to the entire stretch of land and sea. This marks the beginning of an intense conflict between America and China. With Taiwan’s sovereignty in danger and China seeking to assert its dominance over the airspace and waterways from the Pacific Ocean through to the Indian Ocean, the United States has no option but to enter into war with China. Over the course of this military thriller, Bultema ably weaves together various threads of his capacious and complex war narrative. Some readers may be surprised that the main player is not a single character; indeed, it isn’t any one character, but more of an ensemble cast brought together by a large conflict. The action moves at a swift pace, and the details, such as military technology, war, tactics, and geopolitics are painstakingly accurate. Bultema’s swift, propulsive prose effectively drives readers toward a powerful, shocking climax. An intricate, smartly written military thriller that’s both relevant and convincing.
