"The  Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles.  As its military begins to prey  on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and  scheming to seize natural resources, the US goes on high alert.  But a  far more ominous danger lurks closer to home:  a Chinese sleeper cell  has planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the  biggest naval base on the planet.  The target:  a secret rendezvous of  the Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their battle groups.  When the  CIA director is assassinated and Jake Grafton is appointed to take his  place, he gets wind of the conspiracy, but has no idea when or where the  attack will occur.  In the meantime, a series of assassinations,  including an attempt on the life of the President, shake the country and  deliberately mask a far more sinister objective.  Can Jake Grafton and  his right hand man, Tommy Carmellini, stop the plot to destroy the US  Navy?"--.
