2034 is an intriguing work of speculative fiction that requires anyone with a passing interest in geopolitics to pick up this book and dive in. Set in the near future, Ackermand and Stavridis envelope readers quickly in the new world they envision and the events leading to its creation.
What if China possessed cyber weapons that could shut down US strategic assets? How would the US respond? Would other powers like Russia and Iran take advantage of the opportunity? Which nation would step up to help calm the escalating tension that could easily lead to nuclear disaster? All of these questions are explored within this gripping tale told at the personal level.
Including a diverse cast of characters that I easily identified and sympathized with, the story is ripe with conflicting interests, personality clashes, and life and death decisions further emphasized with the gut wrenching impact on the individuals living through the experiences.
Not since Red War in 2019 have I enjoyed a large-scale warfare book like this.
