**Description:**
"2034: A Novel of the Next World War" is a thought-provoking work of speculative fiction co-authored by Elliot Ackerman, an award-winning novelist and Marine veteran, and Jim Stavridis, a former NATO commander and admiral. This gripping novel presents a disturbingly plausible scenario set in the near future, exploring geopolitical tensions, military conflicts, and the potential consequences of escalating international disputes.
The story unfolds on March 12, 2034, as US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt finds herself on the bridge of the USS John Paul Jones, a guided missile destroyer patrolling the South China Sea. During a routine freedom of navigation patrol, her ship encounters an unflagged trawler in distress, leading to a chain of events that will change the course of history.
Simultaneously, US Marine aviator Major Chris 'Wedge' Mitchell is flying an F35E Lightning over the Strait of Hormuz, testing new stealth technology near Iranian airspace. Wedge's flight ends with his capture by Iranian forces, and Sarah Hunt's destroyer is sunk by the Chinese Navy. It becomes evident that Iran and China have orchestrated their actions, utilizing advanced cyber weaponry that leaves US military assets defenseless.
This coordinated series of events sends shockwaves through the international community, challenging America's belief in its military supremacy. The novel explores the geopolitical complexities and the human toll of these events from the perspectives of a global cast of characters, including Americans, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and Indians.
"2034" is a cautionary tale that delves into the potential consequences of arrogance, miscalculation, and escalating tensions among world powers. It paints a vivid and unsettling picture of a future world order forever altered by the devastating costs of war. The authors draw upon their extensive experience in national security and geopolitics to create a narrative that serves as a stark warning about the dangers of geopolitical conflict and the urgent need for diplomacy and international cooperation.
