The Excalibur File

by John Somerset

FOR FANS OF TOM CLANCY, VINCE FLYNN & DANIEL SILVA - THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN MEETS TOP GUN

CHINA ATTACKS

It is the year 2025. Only son of Australia's richest couple, the discoverers of Lasseter's fabled gold reef, Jack Holt is carving his own way in the world. Married to his childhood sweetheart and at the top of his profession (which happens to be flying Australia's front line F-35 jet fighter), Jack has returned from Top Gun, Nevada and settled into life as a combat instructor, poster boy of the RAAF.

Life looks good - but the Chinese Dragon is stirring and war is coming.

Reacting to a worldwide recession, China plans to expand its gold reserves and natural resources by emulating Japan's World War 2 expansion with rolling conquests of PNG, the Pacific Islands and ultimately, northern Australia. Fortunately, US Intelligence has penetrated the PLA Strategic Plan and what they unearth is terrifying. Backed by the largest navy in the world, China is gearing up to invade Australia on Christmas Day, 2030.

At the eleventh hour, a desperately-convened think tank comes up with Excalibur, a wonder weapon that could just swing the balance. The Excalibur File is a thrilling adventure tale building up to the greatest naval battle of our times as David takes on Goliath.

Could it actually happen? You be the judge.
