Red Dragon

Winds of War, Book 3

World War III is a few months month old. After attacking and sinking the Destroyer USS Stacy Heath, the Chinese seize control of Nepal and Bhutan and push into India where the Allies manage to stop them. But for how long? Pakistan is attacking from the north - and China is preparing for the "big push" from the east.

Worse yet, China's Ministry of State Security has orders to assassinate the Dalai Lama, rather than run the risk that he will inspire a Buddhist rebellion in Tibet.

As a team of assassins close in on the Dalai Lama, Green Beret Captain Jon Lee and his men are behind Chinese lines in Nepal, battling to rescue a downed fighter pilot before enemy troops can capture him.

The entire subcontinent is at risk if the assassins succeed.... And, if the region falls, hundreds of thousands of people will die - even as millions more are lost to the Axis.

Together with a self-centered army doctor named Wendy Kwan, and a team consisting of both green berets and Gurkhas, it will be Lee's responsibility to navigate treacherous terrain - and prevent Chinese Agent Fan Tong and his special ops team from changing the course of the war.

perfectly horrible

the storyline is great, but every time the team tries to evacuate the enemy attacks at the worst possible time. once maybe twice is believable but when you have 5 or 5 different attempts and the enemy ALWAYS shows up at the worst possible time is exhausting. the book gets predictable. this book is nothing but failed attempts of a green beret team trying to get a baby out of Nepal. they fail miserabley over and over again. I assume they eventually get him out but idk, I didn't even bother to finish the book.
