Red Pearl - Dumm J. Rickley
The world is in turmoil. On fire! Nations of economic and military leadership and might seek differing goals, holding for ransom the world’s populace, threatening their sovereignty and freedom. The United States, China and Russia have each dealt their hands, but now North Korea and Iran are holding the wild cards. Looking forward, freedom-loving countries ponder, but continue squandering a means to end the threats.
Unexpectedly, an opportunity arises that could alter the decline of freedom’s course. The prospect is concocted by the President of the United States and the President of China, and is highly covert, when three Chinese dissidents defect and China wants them back. In return, a favorable China Security Council vote at the United Nations (and the return of a Vietnam POW that China has had in captivity for the last dozen years) is put in the lap of the United States.
Colonel Lu Mingxia, the head of China’s Internal Security Bureau, is sent to the United States to complete the exchange and thus secure cooperation between countries; however, numerous cogs are thrust into the machinery, and this valuable, covert opportunity begins to collapse in an extremely overt fashion by an international cadre of dedicated, treacherous and lethal characters.
