White Sun War

The Campaign for Taiwan

By: Mick Ryan

Narrated by: Joshua Saxon

After decades of poising on the brink, the United States and China finally go to war when China invades the island of Taiwan. Deploying their most futuristic technologies in this grand strategic competition of the twenty-first century, the stakes could not be higher. Not only the future of the Taiwanese people but the fate of the world lies in the balance.

In an era when humans no longer just use machines, but partner with them in all aspects of military operations, this fictional account views this future war through the eyes of the American, Chinese, and Taiwanese caught up in the maelstrom, revealing the heartbreak, courage, leadership, and despair of high-tech warfare played out on land, at sea, in space, and in cyberspace.

White Sun War asks listeners to ponder anew an essential question for the future of security in western Pacific and the entire Indo-Pacific region: is a war for Taiwan winnable?

Surprise, deception, adaptability and tech win out

White Sun War posits a future Chinese Communist Party invasion of Taiwan as a fully integrated human, AI and robotic conflict, in all spheres of operation including space and cyber. Despite the steady stream of intel, surprise is still possible.

A good read that integrates all the cutting edge elements of future warfare in an understandable and character-driven story.

Truly a ‘must’ read!

A brilliant techno-thriller that combines reasoned extrapolations from existing technologies with a fast paced yet very sobering narrative. Really enjoyed it & learned a lot.

just awesome

an excellent book for those interested in the future of war well written and well researched. I would highly recommend

Poor performance

The performer mispronounced several words (AD ver sa ry not ad VER sa ry). Very grating to hear.

Thought Provoking

While being a fictional story, it is very thought provoking to consider what could happen if this conflict happened.
