GENRE: Thriller

Blurb:

America’s Navy has been the undisputed leader in the Pacific since WWII. Now, China plans to change that. By conquering French Polynesia. A nuclear weapon lost during one of dozens of French nuclear tests has been discovered there by rebels. Their leader, Mai, will use it to force France out of Polynesia. On their own, the rebels might have little chance. Unless a Chinese Navy carrier task force intervenes to help them achieve independence before the French military can respond.
