THUNDER ON THE RIM On the South China Sea an oil rig erupts in flames—as AK-47 tracer rounds stitch the night and men die in pools of blood. The SOSUS underwater network catapults news of the attack to Washington—while ChiCom troops mass on the Vietnamese border. Ten divisions of Chinese shock troops blast their way south, overrunning the U.S.-U.N-led Emergency Response Force. But the West's best warriors fight back. U.S. Special Forces, British SAS, and the legendary Gurkhas, their Kukri knives drawn, go toe-to-toe with the invaders. Tomcats and F-18s pulverize the jungle. And the Military Sealift Command hurls Aegis cruisers and Wasp-Iwo Jima, and Spruance-class attack ships—spearheaded by Sea Wolf subs--into the South China Sea. From Japan to Malaysia, the Pacific Rim is ablaze—in a hell called . . . WORLD WAR III - SOUTH CHINA SEA "Superior to the Tom Clancy genre, with characters that came alive . . .and the military aspect far more realistic."—The Spectator

I've met lots of folks in lots of situations and, after a while, people seem to just open up to me. Call it a gift if you like but I have to tell you; sometimes I don't want to listen. So I do the polite thing which usually ends up in the poor soul thanking me for allowing them to unburden their problems. Often they will berate the fact that no one would believe them anyway. I always respond in the same way which is to tell them to write it down. That way, even if no one believes you, at least you've got a good yarn to show for it. They most often agree but then ask me write the story although sometimes they want to write it in their own words. The result is a bit of a mish mash of styles I suppose but I like to think that gives them authenticity.

From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes Outlaw, "A true juggernaut . . . pure adrenaline in print . . . a Jason Bourne for the new millennium." —James Rollins While conducting top-secret negotiations aboard a tanker in the South China Sea, the U.S. Secretary of State and the foreign ministers of China and India are kidnapped, and the tanker they are on is hijacked. The "Sons of Prophecy" take responsibility and issue an ultimatum: If their demands are not met in seven days, the three will be beheaded live on the Internet. With the presidential election in only eight days, sitting President Sands, about to leave office, calls in former CIA operative and master thief Robin Monarch and convinces him to save the diplomats before the threatened execution. Monarch and his counterpart, a mysterious Chinese agent named Song Le, embark upon a dangerous journey into the underbelly of Southeast Asia, a world of corrupt Vietnamese Army officers, fanatical pirates, Hong Kong triad leaders, and volatile mercenaries living around the red light districts of Thailand. As they get closer and closer, with time quickly running out, Monarch learns that the daring kidnapping and ransom pot diabolical plot is only a front. Behind it is another plot, one designed to alter the outcome of the election itself, a conspiracy that reaches deep inside the White House, back to the very people who hired Monarch in the first place.

But first the underwater technology expert must pay a price . . . Yuri is drafted by the CIA.
