PREVIEW - FULCRUM: 300-page excerpt (The Aggressor Series)

The Aggressor series volume V, FULCRUM, is a 300-page preview presented here, containing the first two chapters, each a self-contained and fully resolved story arc. The full novel, set for release in August, is expected to run at least 800 pages to capture the wide-ranging implications of a global superpower conflict.

Six months have passed since the Battle of Hawaii, and the war to defend Taiwan has escalated into World War III. The rested and refitted Aggressor Inc. pilots are thrust back into the fray, which now spans multiple fronts.

1) On the Japanese Kunashiri Island, the crew of a single Japanese Infantry Fighting Vehicle attempts to hold back an entire Russian airborne company, as marauding Russian fighters pour into the skies above. Can Captain Shinji Kagawa of the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Destroyer, JS Haguro, provide them with a fighting chance?

2) In the Central Pacific, sonar operator Elvis 'Ears' Bell and his Manta Ray submersible hunt a Chinese submarine 'wolf pack' preying on a vital convoy. Could a Chinese hacker captured off San Luis Obispo Bay hold the key to the wolf pack's victory or defeat?
