The world was on fire.
It didn't matter who started it...
...only who ended it.
In the 2030s, the era of Putin and Xi ended, not with a bang, but in a poisoned whisper. In their place, new leaders emerged-charismatic, technocratic, and unflinchingly bold. As Russia and China purged their past, crushing the oligarchy, an alliance for future control emerged.
Rare earth minerals had become the currency of the 21st century-whoever controlled them would dominate the future. From energy to data centers, microchips to autonomous weapons, all the world powers raced to see who would come out on top.
World War III had already begun...
...even if no one realized it yet.
Angola, Svalbard, Palawan, and Taiwan were more than just names on a map. They were the frontlines to a proxy war to control the means of production. These pawns on the chessboard would determine the technology of the future.
The Portuguese President was killed in Angola. A Dutch warship was sunk near the Philippines. A Chinese vessel sabotaged undersea cables near Gotland. NATO was forced to respond.
Would the newly formed Eurasian Defense Economic Pact reshape the world?
Could the US and NATO extinguish the flames of war before it was too late?
Find out what happens next in The Gotland Deception, a chillingly plausible technothriller thriller from the international bestselling authors of The Monroe Doctrine series and Battlefield Ukraine.
