America's Navy is stretched to the breaking point. China's combat fleet grows. And both countries compete for access to advanced semiconductor chips produced only in Taiwan. Can Will Cole succeed in the impossible in time?
Rear Adm. Will Cole, outgoing operations officer (N3) of the Pacific Fleet, knows this is a recipe for disaster. But after decades at sea, he is ready to pass the torch to the next generation of "fighting Coles" his eldest, Henry, a Navy lieutenant who flies F-18s; his middle son Jaime, a merchant marine officer; and his daughter Lu back home. When the new Cold War turns hot, however, Cole must abandon his plans. Proven right when the missiles start flying, Cole's reward is an order to do the impossible: destroy the Chinese fleet and retake Taiwan--before it's too late.
