Dragonfire!

FROM THE MODERN MASTER OF THE ACTION ADVENTURE M.I.A. HUNTER SERIES COMES CODY'S WAR!
There's big trouble in China, and Jack Cody's mission is to locate and extract a defecting physicist, Dr. Kwan, creator of the ghastly mega-weapon, Dragonfire. Too bad the mission goes south almost immediately when a US Navy reconnaissance plane disappears over the South China Sea after observing Chinese nuclear submarine activity.
Also missing: the dive team sent to investigate. Then there's the coup d'état being staged in Beijing by renegade Chinese military officers intent on launching a nuclear holocaust and establishing a new World Order.
With no one to trust in this deadly maze, Cody races the clock against an imminent world threat spawned far beneath the sea...
