Generous Enemies Simon Drake

Following a global refugee crisis, Indonesia has invaded half of Australia and faltered. Emerging from the chaos of Occupied Australia are Warlords, thriving in anarchy, fighting for supremacy, trading natural resources for weapons and creating their own brand of civilisation. To counter this catastrophe and disorder, China steps in as the only superpower capable of restoring peace, and sets out to Police the Pacific. Major Katherine Krue is a young and cunning veteran of infiltrating deep behind enemy lines and assassinating key regional players. She is ordered to take out another Warlord, but of a different calibre: Colonel Peters, ex-Australian Army, once ordered to destroy a Warlord, has now become one. As the leader of a rogue state in an unfinished World War, bordered by competing Warlords, he commands a militia army and imports weapons of mass destruction as a means of geo-political leverage and devastation, proving that in a world of uncertainty, there can be security, but at a ghastly cost, and not without creating formidable enemies.
