Description
A Chinese invasion force, struck and wiped out the entire US Pacific fleet and a full conquest of America seems certain. The lady president and an unlikely ally, Ox, a hacker, join forces to stop the invasion and repair the cyber defenses. For years an unsuspecting United States did not know that it's entire defense establishment, from security satellites to requisition orders, fed all that data into a Chinese supercomputer hidden deep within Beijing. The fate of the world may lie in one pair of hands: those belonging to the elusive and secretive Ox, the only one who knows how the Chinese were able to pull off their daring cyberattack. Among the many choices facing the US president, Elizabeth Rutledge, whether to trust Ox and how far; how best to cripple the Chinese; whether the union should even be saved. It has been written that Chinese explorers sailed to the east coast of North America in the early 1400's. And now, seven centuries later, an overwhelming expeditionary force of a million Chinese troops have come to the west coast to conquer America. This is that story.
