A High-Stakes Geopolitical Military Thriller – A War That Could Happen Tomorrow.
Tensions explode in the South China Sea when US and Chinese destroyers clash near the contested Spratly Islands, and pushes the world to the brink of a new global conflict. In Washington, President Samuel Walters orders a retaliatory strike against Fiery Cross Reef, occupied by China as part of its nine-dash line claim over the South China Sea. China launches a counterstrike, which threatens to escalate into all-out confrontation.
To curb influence of Big Money and Super PACs in the national political process, the President urges the Supreme Court to reverse its 2010 decision on the ‘Citizens United v FEC’ case. He also demands that the Justice Department rigidly enforces the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to stop American corporations bribing and paying potential customers kickbacks to secure overseas contracts. He then introduces the 28th Constitutional Amendment to align House and Senate elections with the presidential four-year cycle, and set Congressional term limits.
These measures seriously threatens aerospace corporate influence over Congress, and the secretive Omicron Group orders the President assassinated. The attempt fails and an FBI investigation is launched to find the would-be assassin and expose the massive political conspiracy behind the plot.
This is an explosive geopolitical military thriller and a present-day political drama ripped from tomorrow’s headlines.
