CHINA STUNS THE WORLD by imposing a deadline on Taiwan to join
the motherland or face a deadly rain of missiles. America will
intervene with nuclear weapons if its mediator cannot craft a
resolution agreeable to both sides-in nine days.
U.S. mediator Philip Dawson finds himself the target of an
assassin skilled in biological poisons, and fiercely attracted to
Meiling Bei, the tough newswoman assigned to the talks. Meiling is
also under attack, from a powerful clan whose ancient livelihood is
threatened by her investigations. As they struggle with
assassination attempts and their growing desire for each other,
Philip and Meiling realize that the threats to them are somehow
connected, and that nuclear war as well as their own lives will be
decided by their solving the puzzles that threaten to overwhelm
them.
In the end, their fates as well as Taiwan's depend on solving
the riddle of a Chinese shipping tycoon with a terrible secret in
his past, as well as a silk-shrouded Chinese Goddess worshipped in
coastal temples for a thousand years. It is the ninth and last day,
and the missiles will be launched soon...
