Welcome to the Aztlan Protocol by Aldéric Au
The novel's background is the
reassertion of demographic and
cultural dominance of China in an interesting and unusual historical
reversal of fortune which begs some obvious questions of what the
future might hold....
"It is a masterpiece of geopolitical intrigue ripped from tomorrow's headlines...."
THE COMMANDER
A reordering of the international hierarchy. A coup so sublime, it goes
unnoticed, as history turns full circle. A master plan, of layered and
subtle complexity. Will its true purpose be revealed? Will the
princelings stop him? Will China's new global hegemony yield an
opportunity for
greatness? Have leader and nation, the largest society on earth,
overreached themselves in their struggle for supremacy?
THE DIPLOMATS
Two clever, urbane, articulate foreign ministers serve their masters
and their nation in a deadly game of Realpolitik on which rest the
lives of billions as the world teeters on the edge of catastrophe. Are
their nations' perspectives irreconcilable? Is the coming war
inevitable? Who will yield? Which
nation will triumph? Who will benefit?
THE TYCOON
A nationalist billionaire with a dream, to right a wrong. His drive and
ambition nurture a plan pursued with resolute determination. Is a
single human life time enough? Has he made the right alliances? Will
fortune favor him? Will old fashioned ethnic larceny once again drive
conflict in the world?
In Beijing, the 22nd Communist Party Congress has been delayed. The
elite power brokers and party elders are unable to agree the new
leadership line-up. The political stand-off starts fueling
international tension surrounding Taiwan and the Diaoyu Islands. The
PLA, taking advantage of the situation, seeks to bring matters to a
head and resolve the Taiwan, South China Sea and Diaoyu island disputes
by force. Or is it that simple? Will there be a war?
The ambition and designs of China create opportunities for others. In
Mexico City, Gilberto Hinojosa a multi-billionaire, chairman and owner
of Texcoco Industries uses the conflict to further his ambitions. As
war looms the
implications dawn on a shocked America.
The US finds itself isolated in confronting China. The Pentagon's
attempts to gain the upper hand display a hopeless misunderstanding of
the nature of the challenge.
