This book is centered around tension in the South China Sea, tension that is still there. China, Vietnam and several other neighbouring countries to different degrees claim ownership of the sea, using occupation of reef-like islands as proof. In this book Philippines and China clash over those island in a way that escalates and goes out of control.
I think the book was 20% completely unrealistic already when it was written, but what are these books, but a way to run "what if" scenarios and then it's hard to stay on the right side of the border.
