Military speculative fiction (written in the format of a non-fiction history): A great sea battle between two powerful navies. In the spring of 2033, China invaded Taiwan. This brutal act of war brought about the dramatic clash between the U.S. Navy and its rival for maritime supremacy in the Western the emergent navy of the People’s Republic of China. Follow the victories and defeats in this extensively researched and thoroughly compelling account of the most complex and consequential sea battle of our time.
Mark Tushingham’s “Battle for the Taiwan Strait 2033” is something of a tour de force within its highly competitive market segment. It is marked by mature and informed knowledge and command of the writer’s materials. It is both frighteningly prescient and fast paced to a fault. If you want to read one book on the storm brewing over Taiwan, this is the one to start with! Nonstop action and plausible analysis demonstrate the author’s competence in his craft.
I liked the author's use of short descriptions presented by pilots or sailors to provide more depth of an event without logging down the story with unnecessary characters.
Well written and very informative, the book reads like a detailed history of a actual war. The style is very fast paced with a lot of action. Well worth a read.
