It is March 2013. The 2012 U.S. elections have just been fiercely fought at a level of intensity that made 2004 and 2008 look mild. The key issue has been energy. The world is in an energy crisis. Chinas energy demands have escalated beyond levels that even their own energy analysts and planners totally unanticipated. CIAs predictions were right on, but no one in Washington listened.

As the U.S. fought its election, worse events occurred. The House of Saud has imploded, with a night of the long knives in Riyadh. Islamic Fundamentalists gain power in an atmosphere of insurrection and chaos. Oil fields are ablaze, and Saudi oil is on hold. Terrorists mine the Straits of Hormuz, and Lloyds of London restrictions bring most tanker movements in and out of the Gulf to a standstill. Asia and Europe are in economic crisis, stock markets have slumped out of control, and the U.S. is now at the center of the worst world crisis since World War II. What will the new President, Angela Truman, do?

At the center of this crisis is the United States Navy, and at the heart, and indeed very depths, of the action is the Submarine Force of the United States Pacific Fleet. Commander Mark Clark, the submarine commander of the USS Virginia, will play a role that could save this crisis. If he makes the wrong calls, the world could be plummeted into war.

Can Clark and his crew avert the impending world disaster, and can the new Washington elite handle the crisis? Will the murky worlds of CIA and MI-6 make a difference, with a critical plot emerging in China and an analysis team at Langley working against the odds and the clock? Will CIAs and MI-6s agents in Beijing survive? Can the new, untried President Angela Truman make the difference that will stop China from its headlong dash for resource seizure?

Small and detailed.
This is a nice addition to a library shelf. Size is about as big as a grapefruit. Nice detail and solid white. Shipped securely in styrofoam.

the perfect outdoor solution & very well priced
Color: Lake Blue
This is a beautiful & sturdy umbrella. i had owned a Pier I multi tiered umbrella ($198) and it looked great when I first brought it home, but after one summer, it had faded, the wood swelled to the point where I couldn't get it out of the stand & when the skeleton arm broke, it could NOT be repaired & I paid more than a few carpenters to try. THIS umbrella is a completely different experience from start to finish: well made, lightweight fabric, easy to unpack & popped right into the stand without tiresome effort: no ladders required. It does exactly what it’s supposed to: protects from hot sun & rain, tilts accordingly & I LOVE the deep teal blue that is very soothing in all weather conditions. The price is affordable and I hope it lasts for years. I’m a VERY happy customer!

Easy to use and seems sturdy
Color: Aqua Blue
It’s perfect! Larger than or last one. Easy to set up. Fits in a standard table hole and base. The color is just what the dogs wanted! Everything is always so grey and dull! The turquoise really pops
