When Chen Hongru plucked Allah bin-Wong from the sea more than ten years ago, he could not envision the changes the Malaysian billionaire would orchestrate for China. Under Wong’s direction, the New China Republic replaced the communist government. This allowed China to seek world domination by employing ingenious initiatives to gain power and capture vital resources.
When the New China Republic displays its hyper- speed aircraft and laser weaponry, the U.S. prepares for turmoil in the Far-East. China annexes a portion of Siberia and other Russian states and United States President Claymore plays peacekeeper to prevent Russia from retaliating. During the international crisis, the First Lady’s terminal illness and Claymore’s extramarital affair with his biographer, Genevieve Hollings, interfere with his ability to make critical decisions. As the beleaguered president wrestles between maintaining world peace and staving off domestic chaos, President Hongru methodically secures China’s prominence throughout the world. President Claymore must use his trademark diplomacy to prevent worldwide bloodshed and devastation.
