✦ Synopsis

The submarine USS Pasadena draws a routine duty: bird-dogging a Chinese naval exercise. But what happens next is anything but routine. Mark Castillo, captain of the Pasadena, watches as a Chinese submarine sinks a Chinese destroyer. Neither China nor the United States understand what’s really happened. The Americans believe they’ve witnessed another Tiananmen Square. The Chinese think they’ve been attacked by the lurking American submarine.

And the two most powerful nations on Earth stumble towards war.

It will be up to Castillo to unravel the mystery—before all Asia is consumed in the fire of a Winter Dragon.
