Beschreibung

In "The Second Pearl," Mike Bentley delivers a gripping military thriller that propels readers into a terrifying near-future conflict between the United States and China. When American intelligence agent Jennifer Duncan discovers a massive secret Chinese military operation inside a mountain cavern, she sets in motion a chain of events that will reshape the global order.
 
As China faces dwindling resources and an environmental crisis threatening starvation for millions, its leadership launches "Operation Unity" – a daring plan to seize control of the Western Pacific using a fleet of disguised container ships carrying tanks, troops, and devastating drone technology. When these "Dragons" simultaneously attack ports across the Pacific Rim, from San Diego to Sydney, the world is caught completely unprepared.
 
With U.S. carriers sinking, Taiwan under assault, and Chinese forces storming ashore in Vietnam, Korea, and the Philippines, President Spencer Stilwell faces impossible choices. His only hope lies with a desperate mission led by Tim Duncan to kidnap Chinese leadership and force a ceasefire before nuclear options are considered.
 
Meticulously researched and terrifyingly plausible, Bentley crafts a pulse-pounding tale of espionage, sacrifice, and modern warfare that serves as both thrilling entertainment and sobering warning. "The Second Pearl" examines the fragile balance of international power and what happens when a nation crosses the line from competition to conflict.

    Aaron Platt has spent every day of his life breaking his back to scrape a living from the rocky, played-out fields of the Adirondack farm he inherited from his sadistic father. One winter morning, he follows footprints in the snow to his barn and discovers a man freezing to death in a horse stall. What unfolds between the two men, past and present, is a brisk, gritty depiction of crime and punishment. But their harrowing story is more than that, exposing the shocking hypocrisy of the people who live in the nearby, bucolic town—a legacy of hatred that reaches back to the violent founding of the nation.

    When FBI agent Elliot Graves closes the case of the infamous Hypnotist—a mysterious manipulator believed to be behind a series of horrific crimes across continents—he believes justice has finally been served.
