Publisher's Summary

To destroy Jade Dragon's lair, an unthinkable weapon is unveiled. Have the Allies gone too far?

The Chinese super-AI had achieved its master plan—an autonomous robotic army, air force, and navy. As President Yao and the People's Liberation Army faced defeat on the battlefield, full command of the PLA was handed over to Jade Dragon, which says it can slay the enemies of China to usher in a new dawn of global Chinese hegemony for the 21st century.

The robots were coming…

With the Terracotta Killers walking the land, Shadow Dragons and Dark Swords prowling the skies, and Sea Dragons roaming the Yellow Sea, a dystopian science fiction nightmare had become real. Machines now dominated the battlefield.

Were these wonder weapons being unveiled too late? Was Jade Dragon's robotic army enough to turn the tide?

Every inch of ground was surveyed, monitored, and fought over as man fought machine for survival. Could the arsenals of democracy outproduce China? Could the West outlast the East, or would Jade Dragon pull off the impossible—and win the AI war?

With victory or defeat balancing on a razor's edge, the Allies refused to go quietly into the night. They had a secret technological breakthrough of their own. Would the ends justify the means if it led to victory, or were the unknown risks too big to accept?

President Delgado was about to order the unthinkable.

You'll love this eighth and final book in the Monroe Doctrine series because the way the limits are pushed is frightening beyond imagination.

Didn't want this to end!

As I said in the title of this review, I honestly didn't want this to end. I thoroughly enjoyed every single volume, and waited like a kid for the next volu.e to drop.
I enjoyed the blend of high tech almost scifi, integrated with a good spy/war story. As an ex Major in the Australian Army (Infantry) 27 years served, mostly 5/7 RAR. I saw technology increase exponentially.
At the end, all I wanted was for JD to cop one in the hard drive, neverto rise again.
Such a good read/listen.

A powerful all-ou finale!

It has been a long journey of reading and listening but another series about warfare the future has reached a dramatic end. If you read and listen to this series from beginning to end like I did, you'll know it was a long war, from Central to South America, from Korea to Taiwan. With the end in sight, James rasson and Miranda Watson utilise every trope, and every technique of writing they have in their arsenal to reach the finish line and end the series on a satisfying end. Perhaps the biggest all out finale now since Battlefield China.

The whole theme of artificial intelligence has reached this climax, where a Terminator-esque future almost comes alive, and it showcases the various steps that could bring our reality into it. With machine learning, nefarious actors and technological development, the world is evolving much like the one here.

And once again the various characters from various armed forces and services continue the fight. The main characters all reach the end of the line, and it is great to see. Marc Vietor's performance once again hits home and brings the characters to life.

Great work to all who made this possible. Here's to greater things in the future.
