With the war between the Northern Alliance and Keynosa leaving both of their lands in ruins, Jocelyn's and her team are finally poised to win and end the war for good. But, a new weapon, one that can instantly stop even a super-soldier with a single shot, has hit the battlefield.

Book Description
The resurgence of modern China has generated much interest, not only in the country’s present day activities, but also in its long history.
