Right now in the U.S. we have a top secret military organization called the "Ghosts" and the only way to get in is "to go to hell and back" like Captain Scott Mitchell who was betrayed by Captain Fang Zhi who refused to fight and help Mitchell. Because of Fang all of Mitchell's men die except for his best friend Rutang who was injured. Because of the acts of valor Mitchell showed he was invited to the "Ghosts" and after a few successful missions he is sent on the most challenging mission of his life that if he fails will start WWIII. While he is on the mission he finds out who is behind the plot to start WWIII....... His arch nemesis Fang Zhi. In the book the writer Tom Clancy really made it feel like everything that happened was real life and made it exiting from sentience 1. The plot of the book is very fast paced. The plot of the story is the Ghosts infiltrate China's eastern coast to seek and destroy the Spring Tiger Group. The small band of renegade Chinese military leaders is poised to execute Operation Pouncing Dragon, a plot to seize Taiwan and trigger a battle for dominance in the Pacific. Led by Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts wage war from the Southern Philippines, Northwest Waziristan, and Xiamen, China, coping with the impact of unforeseen tragedy, remembering lessons-learned, and treasuring camaraderie. But during Operation War Wrath in Xiamen, China, a decade-old tragedy resurfaces endangering the mission and the team. The Spring Tiger Group is aided by an old nemesis and for Mitchell; this war gets very personal.

I would defiantly recommend this book to people that have played the game or like fast paced books with a lot of combat. I would not recommend this to people that don't enjoy combat books because it would not be appealing to them and it would just be a waste of their time. I give the book an 8 out of 10 because I like combat books.
