Massive Retaliation

"This is a story about Dr. Rob Lyons, a State Department analyst, who, in the year 2020, is quietly sent to the island of Saint Matts in the Caribbean.  He is tasked with investigating why, at this time, the People's Republic of China are daring to lease a long abandoned British naval base from the government of that island.

No foreign government has dared to intrude into America's private Caribbean preserve in 200 years.  What has suddenly made the Chinese so brave?

Will the island's disloyalty to the United States be punished with nuclear obliteration - as one senator is demanding?

Could this intrusion lead to a nuclear confrontation between China and the United States?

Equipped with the latest, top secret monitoring and weapon technology, Rob Lyons enters int a hostile, dangerous environment where violence, greed, betrayal, love and corruption test his physical and moral strengths.

I hope you enjoy the twists and turns in this book as much as I enjoyed creating it".....Ian MacDonald, April 30, 2013
