Pacific Rift

Three years after nuclear war, ports are moving cargo again and cities are beginning to recover. Near Luzon, an American convoy loses communications, faces a calculated show of force, and comes under attack. The struggle for the Pacific has entered a new phase.

China asserts its strength, the United States refuses to retreat, and regional allies reassess a rapidly shifting balance. The New Unified Korea emerges with ambitions of its own, unwilling to remain a buffer in someone else’s conflict. Meanwhile, an operation in Hong Kong draws missing scientists and secret routes into the crisis. Pacific Rift follows naval confrontation, covert activity, and fragile alliances in a region where one more strike could undo years of reconstruction.
