The US and China have emerged in the millennium as the preeminent superpowers. Japan and the US have worked in secret at a disused nuclear research center on a remote island in the South China Sea to pefect a viable nuclear fusion reactor. Suddenly the black veil of secrecy is shredded, the long shot project is on the verge of a breakthrough, and the Chinese want the prize located in their backyard.Navy Reserve Commander Ben McGuire, a Navy SEAL team, and an isolated group of scientists struggle with sabotage, a typhoon, and a rapidly approaching and powerful Chinese fleet, and a radical new reactor that some scientists are terrified of shutting down.Fission is the Holy Grail of the utility industry since it could provide limitless electricity without the downside of fusion based nuclear power. In Nuclear Dragon, the U.S. is on the verge of creating the first practical fission plant in a secret installation on the uninhabited Japanese island of Senkaku, part-way between Okinawa and Taiwan. Through espionage, a U.S. traitor, and hacking, the People's Republic of China learns about the facility and wants its secrets by any means possible. Nuclear Dragon's fast-paced and very realistic (and scary) scenario keeps the reader turning pages as one meets very interesting and believable characters, many of whom have history with each other. I highly recommend this outstanding book written by Ken Carodine, who is a retired Rear Admiral and a Surface Warfare Officer and knows his stuff.
