America and China are developing secret weapons that will forever change the balance of power.
Young Navy analyst Chad Gritt discovers the Chinese are using an undetectable spying system, code named EEL, to monitor every American development, except for America's most important secret: Arctic Angel.
The CIA's analysts and whiz kids apply every cyber technique in their arsenal and still know nothing about the Chinese technology. Realizing that the only chance to unmask the threat is old fashioned field work, the CIA director recruits the eccentric former CIA operative Thadius Walker to help.
Young Chad Gritt and aging Thad Walker form Team Walker. Gritt is tasked with understanding the Chinese threat while Walker develops strategies to keep their adversaries from discovering the secret.
When cyber and clandestine spying ratchet up fear, the two countries launch covert military operations to force each other to reveal their secrets. Success means the winner will develop counter measures and failure cedes dominance of the Pacific Region.
A handpicked elite Chinese commando unit rises out of the sea before the American SEAL team arrives to protect a US remote military base disguised as an historical marine park. Can a strange mix of 'park police', scientists and women techno geeks led by a greying Air Force Colonel who has never seen combat defeat the elite Chinese commandos?
