Bond did his homework.
The plot of the book centers around the Chinese claiming the entire
south China sea . The research I did to see if Bond was
foreseeing the future was pretty darn depressing. Just this past week there was an article in
the newspaper (I know old school.) about a US
ship sailing close to an island that the Chinese took from the Philippines
several years ago. With the plot being
in the news, reading the book was a touch frightening.
Bond clearly points out that nations can be as blind and
stubborn as the people who populate that nation. The main characters are members of the
alliance formed to curb Chinese expansion and the main American submariner who
is featured as thwarting both the Chinese and the alliance.
This book is well worth reading and hopefully decision
makers in all of the countries included in the plot will, at least, read the
Cliff Notes and recognize that the world has reached the point where
globalization has become a reality.
I recommend the book.
