A contemporary air-sea heavyweight fight...the like we haven't seen since the Pacific War.
A routine US Navy freedom-of-navigation patrol in the South China sea turns deadly when it encounters a covert - and unauthorized - Chinese plot to lay claim to waters of the South China Sea. Misunderstanding, miscalculation, and fear lead to both sides mobilizing, with the United States moving west across the Pacific to meet and engage the People's Liberation Army (Navy) who waits with modern weaponry and determined purpose.
Through detailed research and his insight of modern naval and aerial warfare gained through personal experience, Kevin Miller takes the listener aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier heading across the Pacific for the South China Sea - and combat. Today, the South China Sea is one of the most important - and dangerous - bodies of water in the world, with seven countries laying claim to portions of it, and in one case, all of it. Loaded with action, from heavy seas to inbound missiles, Fight Fight explores a scenario that could lead to an unwanted and unplanned - and with today's headlines perhaps inevitable - war between an established and a rising superpower.
Known for his character development, Miller brings Flip, Weed, and Olive along on another sea adventure. Along the way they will encounter a leadership challenge as old as the sea, and the motivations of several Chinese antagonists, from four-star leadership to front line fighter pilots, are explored.
Today's cutting-edge precision weapons - some real and some imagined - are employed to devastating effect. Could the Chinese - though relentless action or divine luck - do the unthinkable?
Fight Fight is modern techno-thriller on the order of Clancy's Red Storm Rising, a human story of geopolitics and personal failings, involving the perils and uncertainty of modern naval combat and one particular deadly sin that humans fighting such battles must deal with. And fear, of failure first, then, after witnessing it on a scale no one had imagined, of death.
If war does come, who will fight it?
“Another great page-turner by Kevin Miller. Clearly, he is an author who has been there, and anyone interested in aviation will love his detailed descriptions of carrier operations. In a manner similar to Tom Clancy, he is willing to look at frightening outcomes and new weapon technology." (Radm Paul Tobin)

Having said all that, the author's right-wing politics are on full display just as in his previous books. He seems to have disdain for the American political system, media, and of course, liberals. While the aspects of military conflict are very accurate, his depiction of America is far off in left (right?) field. (Spoiler Alert) China attacks a defenseless American Warship with chemical weapons, collides with a US patrol aircraft, conducts a crippling first strike on a US Aircraft Carrier, and conducts unrestricted warfare on civilian shipping, yet the half the American public (the liberal half) and the media sides with China, and is sidetracked with identity politics while the country is a war. This ridiculousness is bound to score points with conservative blowhard readers, but more serious readers might find this laughable.
If you can ignore the politics, you love this book. It's as close as it gets to the classics like Red Storm Rising, Sword Point, and Team Yankee.
Excellent Book if you can get past the politics.
