China seeks to destroy America, but not with weapons!
The rapid shift towards a full market economy under Chinese President Zhou Yedong ignites internal dissent. Dissatisfied with the pace of change, the powerful, populist Tuanpai faction conceives a daring plan: launch a devastating attack on the American eastern seaboard and put themselves in power.
Chairman of the Standing Committee, Keung Yeng, and Vice Chairman Chen Teng of the Central Military Commission, send a nuclear attack submarine to La Palma in the Canary Islands. Their objective? Trigger a massive slump on the Cumbre Vieja Volcano’s western flank, which would generate an enormous tsunami designed to cripple the United States and elevate China as the sole world superpower.
The mission is only partially successful and the tsunami causes minimal damage. Keung now faces a terrifying threat: American retaliation if the plot is discovered. Thomas Meecham, FBI Special Agent in Charge, is tasked to investigate the incident as a possible terrorist attack. When material from the sunk Chinese submarine is recovered, President Walters confronts Zhou, threatening military action for the unprovoked strike.
Suspecting an internal dissident faction, President Zhou, desperate to salvage China’s reputation and forestall global economic and diplomatic backlash, he invites U.S. investigators to help him find proof. Meecham is sent uncover the truth—was the attack orchestrated by President Zhou or a rogue group? He navigates a deadly political maze and faces assassination orchestrated by Keung Yeng as America prepares for a chilling military confrontation.
Proportional Response is a mind-bending political and military thriller, exposing the dark heart of international distrust between the world’s two greatest powers. Fans of geopolitical suspense and covert ops will be glued to every page.
