Fire
of the Raging Dragon is the second novel in the series Pacific
Rim Series.
The Chinese president, Tang Qhichen, also called the
Raging Dragon, ordered his military forces to attack and conquer the island Itu
Aba, Spratly Islands. Itu Aba belongs to Thailand. The Chinese gained control
of the island. And the Taiwanese captured the Chinese
ship Shemnong which is carrying military weapons. Many lives were lost and some
of the remaining people on board the ship needed medical help. Shemnong
requested medical assistance from the USS Vicksburg. The United States
President Douglas Surber granted the request and ordered the ship to help the
people on board. They discovered crimes against humanity on board the ship Shemnong.
President Surber ordered for the ship to be captured and placed in United
States care. This upset President Tang Qhichen and he attacked USS Vicksburg. USS
Emory S. Land was near the ships and the Chinese captured the ship and demanded
the United States to release Shemnong or they would kill everyone on board the
ship. President Surber was torn in making a decision to let Shemnong go and
ignore the crimes he saw on the ship or let Vicksburg be destroyed. But a major
factor was his own daughter was a marine on board USS Vicksburg.
I immensely enjoyed reading this novel. It had a breathtaking
plot and action that kept me hooked in. The novel had me feeling like this
could truly happen. The crimes against humanity that was revealed in the novel
could really be happening and we have no idea. It’s shocking and heartbreaking
that something like this could exist. I would recommend this novel to anyone
who loves adventures and suspense. It would leave you entertained and thankful
for the military that are committed to serving their country. They know the
dangers and risks and still faithfully protect. If you’re looking for a great
gift for someone, then this is the new series they will enjoy to receive!
