In the not-too-distant future, massive climate change has wracked the globe. China’s rice-growing regions have been devastated by typhoons, while its western breadbasket is suffering from three years of drought. Riots threaten to tear the country apart. With the old-guard Chinese government paralyzed by the crisis, a young, charismatic party leader steps to the fore. His solution to the unrest is a time-tested one — conquest of China’s neighbors. And after that, the world. Josh MacArthur, a mild-mannered American scientist studying climate change in northern Vietnam, is the only witness to a clever attempt by the Chinese to make it appear that Vietnam started the war. Escaping a massacre, he manages to gather critical evidence that could turn world opinion against China. Unfortunately, the Chinese learn of MacArthur’s survival, and of the information he carries. A former Ch’an fighting monk turned commando is sent to capture him. Mara Duncan, a CIA agent, is also on MacArthur’s trail. The American scientist has become the subject of a deadly race in the jungles of northern Vietnam, with the fate of the world in his hands.

More About the Author
Saving the world, one cup of coffee at a time.
Jim brings back wisecracking, rule breaking FBI special agent Andy Fisher for his newest technothriller THE HELIOS CONSPIRACY. In THREAT LEVEL BLACK, Fisher saved NYC from annihilation. Now, he's going green -- looking for the killer of his ex-girlfriend, while hunting down the terrorists who sabatoged her space-age solar array satellite that could render oil obsolete. The list of suspects is long, as Fisher embarks on a hunt that crisscross the country.
Kirkus Review gave HELIOS a starred review: "Smarter and funnier than its Da Vinci-esque title might suggest, this book is a complete success with... rapid-fire dialogue, and convincing storytelling, which exposes the overlap between science and politics. The climax, played out on New Mexico's Indian ruins in the dead of night, could hardly be more satisfying."
AMERICAN SNIPER, still on the NY Times Bestseller List, is about highly decorated Navy Seal Chris Kyle's real-life exploits protecting the lives of hundreds of American soldiers in Iraq. Want to get a taste of what's in the book? Listen to Jim's recorded interviews with Chris on his website at jimdefelice.com. Intense doesn't begin to describe them!
Just out: SHOCK OF WAR, Jim's latest novel with Larry Bond in the RED DRAGON RISING series.
At Last! The entire JAKE GIBBS PATRIOT SPY series is now available on Kindle. Just $2.99 each until March 1, when the price goes up. The final installment, THE GOLDEN FLASK, completes the trilogy with the wildest, craziest espionage mission of all -- Jake must find out which city British forces will strike next, by penetrating their headquarters in New York City. Claus van Clynne, General George Washington, and the Culpers band of spies join in the fun.
In OMAR BRADLEY: GENERAL AT WAR, Jim restores the Five Star General's reputation as an important American citizen, a bold battlefield commander, and the brilliant planner of D-Day and Cobra. Delving deeply into historical archives, official records, unpublished scrapbooks and diaries by aides and colleagues, DeFelice uncovered a riveting story of Bradley's unique contributions to Allied victory, heading the largest body of U.S. soldiers to serve under one field command.
In RANGERS AT DIEPPE, Jim offers an intimate look at another little-known raid that became the Rangers first "trial by fire" and the innovative commander, William O. Darby, who trained them. (CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS PAGE)
"White-hot action" and "intelligent heroes" are the prime ingredients in all Jim DeFelice books. From his first 1992 NY Times bestselling novel "Coyote Bird" [a high-flying "man vs. doomsday machine" thriller], DeFelice has written more than 30 high-energy, thought-provoking books and short stories, featuring male and female heroes both fictional and real.
"I'm one of those people who has a lot of interests and I've been very lucky to be able to pursue them," DeFelice says. "I'm best known for military and spy thrillers, especially 'Leopards Kill,' and probably for my collaborations with Dick Marcinko [Rogue Warrior series], Steve Coonts [Deep Black], Dale Brown [Dreamland/Whiplash], and Larry Bond [First Team/Red Dragon Rising.]"

5.0 out of 5 stars
Gripping audio action evolves,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Larry Bond's Red Dragon Rising: Shadows of War (Red Dragon Series) (Audio CD)
Larry Bond and Jim DeFelice's RED DRAGON RISING: SHADOWS OF WAR receives Luke Daniels' professional acting voice and skills and offers a fine thriller set in the near future, where massive climate change has affected the world. An American scientist witnesses a clever attempt by the Chinese to make it appear that Vietnam began a dangerous war - and his life becomes an exercise in eluding capture as a result. Gripping audio action evolves.
