Format:Kindle Edition
Having read other work by the author, I was not disappointed by content or execution - in fact this filled in some of the blanks. Not a personal story - it revolves around power plays and politics, with the technology of war filling in the gaps in the discussions.
However, it was made more difficult in the Kindle edition by having a few characters/words missing ~ery so often - disrupting the ~ow of reading. (My ~ for emphasis...) - one more star if that gets fixed!

This book will have you lying in bed at night wondering if it really could happen. Hawksley and Holberton have put a lot of reasearch into this scenario of how China's aspirations of reunifying it's historically held territories may be played out in the future. They have consulted military, politcal and financial sources to make this novel very realistic reading.

Format:Kindle Edition
A great thrill ride and a "future History" many of whose predictions have already come to pass. So, you ask, if the story is so good,why only three stars? Simple, parts of the Kindle version are unreadable! half a word missing here, half a line missing there. In parts the Kindle book is more like a comprehension (cloze)exercise than a novel and the parts referring to the financial markets have most of the figures missing! In short, the publisher made a really sloppy job of converting a great novel into an ebook. It is to be hoped that they've made a better job of their other Kindle offerings.

Doesn't work so well on Kindle
Interesting concept for a novel but a bit heavy (padded out) with political comings and goings and fails to hold the attention. Read more
