Sinopse

When NSA Deputy Director Major Steve North discovers his close friend—an Australian intelligence officer—and the man's entire family brutally murdered, he uncovers a labyrinthine Chinese plot twenty-five years in the making.
 
Codenamed "Bright Star," the operation goes far beyond military posturing. North finds himself tracking a stolen truck of specialized electronics in Philadelphia, a weaponized COVID-19 variant, and a network of deep-cover Chinese operatives scattered across America—all pieces in a grand deception orchestrated by President Xi's enigmatic advisor, Leong.
 
As North gradually connects the dots, he realizes the Chinese aren't planning a conventional invasion of Taiwan. Instead, through masterful psychological warfare and strategic pressure points—sparking civil unrest, cyber attacks, and a Korean peninsula conflict—they aim to force America to abandon Taiwan without firing a shot.
 
With the NSA Director herself compromised and the administration wavering, North must go rogue, assembling a desperate plan involving fake nuclear weapons and military deception that could either prevent war or trigger the very conflict he's trying to avoid.
 
Racing against time, North navigates a dangerous game of international chess where the stakes include Taiwan's sovereignty, America's credibility, and millions of lives hanging in the balance. His only guide: the ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which teaches that the greatest victory comes from winning without fighting.
 
If you enjoyed "Red Storm Rising," "2034: A Novel of the Next World War," and "Ghost Fleet," you'll love "Hong Kong Redux: China's Ultra-Secret Plan to Deal with Taiwan."

    The storm had been building, and now, the reckoning had come. Joe Galloway had fought to hold onto his business, his family, and his life in Bellevue. But the battle isn’t just about land or money anymore—it was about power, blood, and who was left standing when the dust settles. The Consecki family ruled the coal industry with an iron fist, and Pete Consecki would do whatever it took to keep it that way. Rules don’t matter. Neither does the law. Winning was the only thing that counts. Sheriff Smith had seen enough blood spilled in Bellevue, and he was desperate to stop the war before it consumed the town. He warned Joe to stand down, to let justice take its course. But Joe knew better. Justice was a luxury for men who still believed in it. Violence was the only language his enemies understood—and it was the only thing he had left. When two more bodies hit the ground, the choice was made for him. The final showdown was coming, and the cost of survival may be more than anyone was willing to pay. In Bellevue, there were no second chances. No redemption. No mercy. This time, only one man would walk away.
