how about buying this novel from Amazon store for $9.99?
It tells you everything you need to know how it starts until the bitter end. Unter the pretext of major military exercises, China en masse the largest ever number of warships attacking the islands held by Vietnam, Japan and Philippines. Vietnam intel captures the invasing plan, deciding the take the first step by launching an preemptive strike on the Lioning aircraft carrier.
While trailing a Chinese nuclear attack sub, Jerry Mitchell, the captain of USS North Dakota, is shocked to see the Chinese boat torpedo a Vietnamese merchant ship.
This blatant act of aggression is the opening gambit in a war that has blindsided the U.S. and quickly embroiled all nations in the western Pacific. These nations, bound together in the newly formed Littoral Alliance, have begun a covert submarine campaign aimed at crippling China's economy before China can set in motion its own plot to dominate the region.
In a desperate attempt to buy the president enough time to resolve the crisis diplomatically, Mitchell's submarine squadron is ordered to interfere with attacks by both sides. China and the Littoral Alliance are both determined to win, no matter the cost, and as each side increases the level of violence, they approach a dangerous tipping point. Larry Bond's Shattered Trident is a race against time, as the submarines of Mitchell's squadron must execute their mission before the world witnesses an economic catastrophe―or worse, a nuclear exchange.
