The Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles. As its military begins to
prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and
scheming to seize natural resources, the US goes on high alert. But a
far more ominous danger lurks closer to home: a Chinese sleeper cell has
planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the biggest
naval base on the planet. The target: a secret rendezvous of the
Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their battle groups. When the CIA
director is assassinated and Jake Grafton is appointed to take his
place, he gets wind of the conspiracy, but has no idea when or where the
attack will occur. In the meantime, a series of assassinations,
including an attempt on the life of the President, shake the country and
deliberately mask a far more sinister objective. Can Jake Grafton and
his right hand man, Tommy Carmellini, stop the plot to destroy the US
Navy?
