Admiral James Stavridis Boeken

A chilling geopolitical thriller and real-world cautionary tale presenting a dark yet very possible future of war between the US and China - from two former military officers and award-winning authors THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * 'A rippingly good read' Wired ______________ 12 March 2034. In the South China Sea, US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt is conducting routine freedom of navigation patrol while US Marine aviator Major Chris 'Wedge' Mitchell tests a new stealth technology near Iranian airspace. By the end of the day, Wedge will be an Iranian prisoner, and Hunt's destroyer will lie at the bottom of the ocean. And a new, terrifying era will be at hand. So begins a disturbingly plausible novel, co-authored by an award-winning novelist and decorated Marine veteran and the former commander of NATO, a legendary admiral. Everything in 2034 is an imaginative extrapolation from present-day facts on the ground, informed by the authors' years working at the highest and most classified levels of national security. Because sometimes it takes a brilliant work of fiction to illuminate the most dire of warnings. 'I could not stop reading 2034' Phil Klay, author of Redeployment 2054: A NOVEL IS OUT NOW

'Don't venture into the future without having read this book' ANDREW ROBERTS It is twenty years on from the nuclear war between the US and China that brought down the old world order, and the American president has held power for over a decade. Suddenly, he collapses in the middle of an address to the nation. A cover-up ensues, the administration announces his death and the country descends into civil war. Everything points to a remote assassination made possible by a radical leap forward in artificial intelligence. The trail leads to an outpost in the Amazon rainforest, the last known whereabouts of the tech visionary who predicted this world transforming breakthrough. As the world's great powers struggle to outmanoeuvre one another in this Great Game of scientific discovery, an American crisis threatens to spiral into a global one. 2054 is an explosive thriller and a real-world cautionary tale about the path we are on, from two former military officers and award-winning authors who have seen the future. 'A compelling, terrifying and totally plausible thriller of future world history and calamity' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE 'This kind of fiction can induce a kind of sublime awe at the complexity of the global networks in which we're enmeshed' HARI KUNZRU, THE NEW YORK TIMES 'A satisfying combination of two very different things: "chilling vision of things to come" and "page-turning beach read"' DAILY TELEGRAPH
