The Abyss: A Rex Dalton Thriller

by JC Ryan

Overview

The Cold War between the US and China is heating up as China is getting more vocal and aggressive with its demands.

Rex Dalton and his team are sent on a covert mission to recruit one of the People's Liberation Army's most senior generals to spy for the CIA.

But then it is discovered that China is facing a famine much worse than the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1961, during which thirty million people starved to death. A hellish abyss of food insecurity and starvation—the breeding ground for war.

The world is watching with bated breath as US—China relations are spiraling out of control towards war.
Rex's mission has to succeed—the world depends on it—but time is running out.

THE ABYSS is a full—length novel, a nail—biting thriller by best—selling author JC Ryan. It is the fourteenth book in the electrifying Rex Dalton series and the sequel to Holes In The Wall.
