Publisher's Summary

Its name was Jade Dragon, and it said, “I am the future.” Had the Chinese government gone too far?

Deep in an underground production facility, far away from prying eyes, President Yao Jintao stood and watched—row after row of machines busily working to build other machines that would fight and destroy their enemies. Killers were creating killers for as far as he could see.

The terror was immediate. President Yao sensed they’d crossed a line.

Was it too late to turn back? South Korean and American soldiers stared down their Chinese counterparts along the Yalu River, just like they had 75 years before. With winter on the way and both armies dug in, who might make the first move?

Nobody was prepared for what came next. Out of the swirling snow and ice, there was movement. Someone was out there, or worse, some thing. Jade Dragon has just launched Project Terracotta, and the world would never be the same.

Would humanity be able to stop the evolution of the machines?

This tense fifth book in the Monroe Doctrine series strikes close to home, reminding us that we must all be prepared for when science-fiction becomes our reality.

Includes a special note from the author.

Excellent series continues

The authors continue to deliver some of the best World War III fiction around. The action is intense, fast-paced, and entirely realistic. It also continues to be the case that story features a large number of storylines each of which is deftly weaved. It gives the story an epic feel.

It continues to be the case that the authors do a nice job of making their story international in scope. Though in this volume, the spotlight on the various European countries, Australia and Japan is less pronounced. Nevertheless, as a Canadian, I greatly appreciate Rosone and Aaronson's effort to deliver a story that involves countries beyond the main protagonists (US vs China). Hopefully, in Volume VI the supporting cast gets a higher page count.

Speaking of realism, in this volume of the Monroe Doctrine the authors managed to capture the Ukrainian conflict within their back story. This conflict wasn't mentioned in previous volumes because Russia hadn't yet invaded, but because Russia plays such a big role in this volume, the Ukrainian mess couldn't be avoided. Capturing this element couldn't have been easy, but they do it very well and it serves to make the story stronger and more authentic.

For all the reasons mentioned above, I once again highly recommend Monroe Doctrine. I finished it in one weekend. Well done James and Alex!

Oh, and the narrator is terrific!
