    About this audiobook

    While trailing a Chinese nuclear attack sub, Jerry Mitchell, the captain of USS North Dakota, is shocked to see the Chinese boat torpedo a Vietnamese merchant ship. This blatant act of aggression is the opening gambit in a war that has blindsided the U.S. and quickly embroiled all nations in the western Pacific. These nations, bound together in the newly formed Littoral Alliance, have begun a covert submarine campaign aimed at crippling China's economy before China can set in motion its own plot to dominate the region. In a desperate attempt to buy the president enough time to resolve the crisis diplomatically, Mitchell's submarine squadron is ordered to interfere with attacks by both sides. China and the Littoral Alliance are both determined to win, no matter the cost, and as each side increases the level of violence, they approach a dangerous tipping point. Larry Bond's Shattered Trident is a race against time, as the submarines of Mitchell's squadron must execute their mission before the world witnesses an economic catastropheor worse, a nuclear exchange.

    • 4/5
      Shattered Trident by Larry Bond is a novel about a war in the near future over the Spratly Islands and other disputed lands in the South China, East China, and Yellow Seas of the coast of China. Viet Nam, Japan, India, and South Korea form the Littoral Alliance to confront China over the disputed lands.The story starts with a US nuclear submarine trailing a Chinese sub that attacks a Viet Nam surface vessel in the South China Sea. Viet Nam had received a report from a spy in China regarding a plan to invade the Spratly Islands claimed by Viet Nam, Philippines, China, and several other nations. The ship was carrying war material to an island claimed by Viet Nam in the Spratly Islands. A Japanese professor of Economics and History is in Viet Nam to talk to the leadership. He is the author of a book entitled Navies for Asia. This meeting is where Viet Nam passes the information on to the professor and starts the process of forming the Littoral Alliance.The story then revolves around the naval war between the Littoral Alliance and China. The US submarines are quietly monitoring the situation in the Seas off of China. The US president is trying to broker a cease fire between the parties.I found the story very good and the descriptions of the undersea warfare well told.
    • 5/5
      I'm a former submariner, and I found this story so gripping that I gobbled it up in less than 24 hours. The opening scenario (merchant ships being sunk, who's doing it, turns out to be somebody's subs) is one that I have mulled-over for a long time, but (I think) Bond did a great job of turning that scenario into a hard-driving story with characters who were people -- some sympathetic some not, but all reasonable and believable.
