The Bear and the Dragon
The final part of the Myth Arc Clancy started with Debt of Honor.
Twice before the Communist Chinese government made plays to support enemies of the United States in an attempt to gain riches and land behind the scenes, and twice they were thwarted. Now, with their economy teetering on the edge, Russia getting rich on new oil and gold deposits, and the US becoming formal allies of both them and Taiwan, their situation is getting desperate, a fact they are barely able to conceal.
Then a major diplomatic incident occurs, and two clergymen, one of them an Italian ambassador, wind up dead, and the resulting backlash threatens to destroy their shaky economy.....that is, unless they can seize the new Russian oil and gold for themselves.
Meanwhile, the US, who has figured out their plans, must find a way to either stop the Communist Chinese from achieving their goals, or there will be another world war.
