“The Eagle & The Dragon” has been hailed by readers and critics as “realistic and frightening” and “a must-read for fans of Tom Clancy and geopolitical thrillers.” With unflinching realism and pulse-pounding suspense, John Webber’s debut delivers a chilling glimpse into how the next great conflict could begin.
Overview
The Eagle & The Dragon is the opening chapter of a new world war between the United States and China. A covert act of deception ignites a chain reaction across oceans, alliances, and continents — the dawn of a global struggle for power.
An economic downturn has shaken China’s foundations, threatening the grip of its ruling elite. Facing internal unrest and an existential political crisis, Beijing’s leaders take a desperate gamble—one that will plunge the world into chaos. Their strategy is bold, methodical, and ruthless: destabilize the United States from within, weaken its alliances, and pave the way for a bold military move to reclaim Taiwan.
The first step? Mexico.
As cartel violence surges and political instability threatens to engulf America’s southern neighbor, few realize that a shadow war is already underway. A vast network of Chinese spies, cyber operatives, and military planners have infiltrated Latin America, fueling unrest and crippling Washington’s ability to respond. As the U.S. scrambles to contain the crisis, it becomes clear that this is only the opening salvo in a much larger conflict—one that will be fought across the Pacific, the Middle East, and beyond.
From the war rooms of Beijing and Washington to the frontlines of covert operations, The Eagle & The Dragon delivers a gripping, high-stakes thriller that reads like tomorrow’s headlines. Packed with pulse-pounding action, meticulously researched military strategy, and a terrifyingly plausible vision of global war, this is the first installment in a series that will redefine the modern geopolitical thriller.
The world is on the brink. The battle for the 21st century has begun.
