They’ve got me. I’m completely hooked on this entire series Rosone & Watson have crafted.
Volume V picks up fast and dirty with epic underwater battles as the Chinese and American submarines look to finish each other off. There are scenes ranging from dueling submarines to covert insertions of Special Forces off Taiwan. The way this author crafts these scenes from their buildup to the tension of what may come next to the delivery of mind-blowing action sequences that place you right there in the scene is storytelling at its finest.
With the battles in the Caribbean and Venezuela ending, we see the story of this war transition to Asia, and the battles awaiting them there.
One of my favorite NEW aspects to this global war and this series was the introduction of real, honest to goodness Russian units and characters. In books four and five, James introduces us to Alex Aaronson from his mentorship program for military-veteran aspiring to become authors.
James spoke of Alex crafting the portions of books four and five that covered the Chinese invasion of the Russian Far East. While American & NATO Forces had battled it out in the Caribbean, the Chinese super-AI Jade Dragon invaded the Russian Far East. If the Far East fell to China, then Jade Dragon would have the resources to secure China’s current and future energy needs, agriculture to feed their people, and direct access to the Artic and its untapped resources.
Given world events, ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War and the fact that this series started little more than a year ago. I wasn’t sure if Rosone & Watson would or even could address this issue. Then again, this is Rosone & Watson I’m talking about. The masters of predicting global conflicts e.g. Battlefield Ukraine they wrote five years ago.
As I made my way through this epic thriller, not only had they acknowledged the Russian invasion. They had managed to make it appear as if it had somehow already been part of the series from the very beginning!!!!
Foreshadow this invasion, we soon discover the fingerprints of Jade Dragon—that devious dirty super-AI had somehow planned for it to happen. In the story, as in real-life, large quantities of high-tech weaponry between America, NATO partners, and Russia are rapidly depleted, and their forces weakened several years in advance of Chinese unleashing their super-AI on the world.
Wow is all I can say.
I’ve never come across a series or author that can craft this many intricate layers, plots, and twists that keep you turning the pages till 3am in the morning and then screaming when you reach the end, knowing you’ll have to wait for the next release to see what happens next.
BUY THIS SERIES. Rosone & Watson are the masters of this genre.
Shoutout to Alex Aaronson. Bravo on your contribution to this series and giving us some incredible characters and chapters from the Russian-NATO perspective.

From the Publisher
"In 2024, all strategically deployed pieces are in place and Project Ten is a go. China is ready to take over the world after years of slowly designing and unleashing technological advances, such as deepfakes and ultrafast and free Wi-Fi, as well as maneuvering its Communist-friendly Latin American political allies, like Cuba and Venezuela. By the time America realizes what is happening under its own nose and invokes the Monroe Doctrine, it is too late.... There's a lot to commend in Rosone and Watson's plot-driven series opener that delivers plenty of action. The story's use of technology—from the sinister AI to the problematic, very contemporary deepfakes, fake news, and data farming—is highly effective." -Kirkus Reviews, March 17th, 2021
As AI continues to improve and deepfakes become routine...
...it's harder and harder to distinguish truth from fiction.
Scheming world leaders develop unexpected alliances.
Conflict is at America's doorstep.
The Monroe Doctrine calls on the US to respond...what could possibly go wrong?
Authors James Rosone and Miranda Watson

After exiting the military, he served overseas as a contractor in the sand box, and then transitioned to working in the field of biometrics supporting U.S. European Command. After releasing a number of books, writing changed from a hobby to a career. He holds several degrees, including a Master of Science degree from the University of Oxford.

After the couple published several books together, she left her day job as a nurse to pursue life as a full-time author. She is the mother of three children, and holds several degrees in addition to her nursing education, including an MBA.

Alex Aaronson, co-author of Volume IV with James Rosone
Alex Aaronson started telling Sea Stories around February 1992, when he reported to Recruit Training Center, Great Lakes Illinois. Since then he’s been entertaining anyone who would listen with his hyperbolic storytelling, a loose relationship with the facts, and a total disregard for modesty. Unfortunately, given that his naval service as a Cryptologic Technician, Interpretive was spent dealing with classified materials and situations you don’t get to hear any of that! Instead, Alex leans on the bits and pieces he picked up getting his undergraduate degree in International Relations from the University of California, and his Law Degree from Southern Methodist University. After having blown a major wad of cash on that fancy degree, he now spends his time making stuff up and hoping that you’ll read it.
