Plot Summary of Hong Kong
"The story is about a plot to overthrow the Chinese regime in Hong Kong and to stop communism in China. Well written story. Allows you to look at all sides from the local Hong Kong people, to the Chinese communists to the American politcal involvement. It's almost too realistic. Action packed, intrigue and futuristic possiblities for warfare."
Marie Wilson, Resident Scholar
