Dragon Strike -- A Novel of the Coming War with China

By Simon Holberton and Humphrey Hawksley

The roar of engines from twelve Russian-built SU-27s rip through Vietnamese airspace.

Within minutes, burning phosphorus, shrapnel and delayed actoin mines are falling on Vietnam's main naval base. Operation Dragon Strike has begun. The Indo-Pacific is at war, plunging the world into crisis.

Four days later, American satellites detect Chinese nuclear missiles being prepared for launch.

This is an authentically and authoritatively constructed thriller in which the United States, Asia and Europe become dramatically and unavoidably enmeshed in war.

Alarmingly, China was far less aggressive and powerful when Dragon Strike was first published in 1997. Back then, it had no aircraft carriers or hypersonic missiles. Its economic writ did not extend to every corner of the Earth. But the fundamentals that led to war in this account are stronger and more embedded today.

Dragon Strike has the page-turning quality of best-selling fiction. Yet, the events here construct scenario which horrifies defence planners.
