A Chillingly Plausible Military Thriller Predicting Global Conflict and Cyber Escalation

Co-authored by decorated veteran Elliot Ackerman and former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Admiral James Stavridis, 2034 projects a catastrophic world conflict triggered by miscalculation. When a routine U.S. Navy Freedom of Navigation patrol in the South China Sea encounters a stealth Chinese military vessel, a sudden cyber attack blinds American fleet defense systems.

As tactical escalations spill across the Pacific, Iran, and the Middle East, leaders in Washington, Beijing, and New Delhi race against nuclear brinkmanship in a harrowing vision of modern geopolitics.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis combine insider military strategy, geopolitical realism, and intense geopolitical suspense. A #1 bestselling 2021 Penguin Press hardcover military thriller for fans of Tom Clancy and P.W. Singer.
