Invasion
by HarryChina has become the new, dominant superpower. She has expanded - with a new, brutally efficient military machine - throughout the globe. Asia is subjugated and the Middle-East has been crushed. With blinding speed, Europe has been cut off by blockade. But while the world burns, America wallows in isolationist splendour; her defence budgets are cut and her armed forces atrophy. The book opens as a five million man army is poised to invade the American south from Cuba. A new President has been elected, who is frantically trying to rearm but all seems doomed as the inevitable invasion approaches.
INVASION
by Eric L HarryA powerful portrait of modern-day politics gone wild. U.S. Republican President Bill Baker is thrown a curveball when China puts its plan of world dominance into action. After invading Asian, European and finally Caribbean territory, it's obvious that four thousand miles of ocean is not enough to keep North America safe from China. The siege begins, and Baker retaliates by declaring war on China. As if this staggering situation weren't enough, Harry juxtaposes this scenario with the personal implications raised by the presence of the president's patriotic teenage daughter, Stephie Roberts, in the U.S. Army. Problems arise when Stephie's mother (the president's ex-wife) insists that her daughter be removed from danger--though not before Stephie's relationship with young Chinese army Lieutenant Wu surfaces...
