Overview
CHINA IS MOBILIZING FOR WAR, THE INVASION OF TAIWAN, GUAM AND JAPAN, INEVITABLY THE SPARK THAT WILL IGNITE WWIII. FURTHERMORE, THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN NEUTRALIZING THE TOP SECRET AMERICAN DEVICE CODE-NAMED "LATE HARVEST," AN ELECTRONIC DEFENSE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO COMPLETELY DISMANTLE CHINESE TELECOMMUNICATIONS. WITH LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE THE INVASION IS TO BEGIN, THE NSA's HIGHLY CLANDESTINE "DEPARTMENT 6" CALLS IN ITS MOST BRILLIANT OPERATIVE, COLONEL CATT TAENG, A CHINESE-AMERICAN AND THE ONLY MAN QUALIFIED TO RESTORE THIS FAIL-SAFE. BUT HIS COUNTERPART IN BEIJING HAS GONE SILENT, LEAVING TAENG WITH AN UNVETTED CONTACT -- THE MYSTERIOUS "MICKEY MAO." IS THIS PERSON AN ALLY OR A SPY PLANTED BY THE GUONGBU? THERE ISN'T TIME TO KNOW ANYTHING FOR SURE. IF HE IS CAPTURED, HE DIES. IF HE FAILS, THE WORLD DIES. THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE: FIND THE BEIJING CONNECTION.
