When the People’s Republic of China unleashes a devastating attack on the United States, U. S. Navy destroyer captain Bill Watkins and his crew are suddenly alone, deep in the enemy’s backyard, and unable to communicate with naval or national leadership.
At home in Washington, the president is detached from reality. Survivors of his cabinet contend with military leadership for control, some to save the nation they serve, others in pursuit of personal power. As America becomes alienated from its allies, Russia attacks NATO, raising the specter of nuclear annihilation.
Bill must navigate a political minefield to find friends among China’s neighbors, and finds himself in a role that demands he take unimaginable risks, and grapple with the question: What losses are acceptable in order to win?
