Ghost Fleet : A Novel Of The Next World War (9780544145979) - Plot & Excerpts
—SUN-TZU, THE ART OF WAR Duke’s Bar, Waikiki Beach, Hawaii Special Administrative Zone She was a goddess. Xiao Zheng knew he would never have had a chance with a girl like this back home in Wuhan. When he was in elementary school, he’d thought being surrounded by so many boys and so few girls1 was a good thing. But at eighteen, Xiao realized that all it meant was that even the ugliest ducklings had their pick of the boys. And he was not the kind of boy they picked. He wore thick black bamboo-framed glasses because he was the only one in his unit whose eyes hadn’t responded well to the mandatory vision-enhancement surgery. The goddess wore a flowing blue skirt and a tight white tank top; she had a leather backpack-style purse slung across her shoulder. As she entered Duke’s,2 she adjusted her white-framed sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and let down her ebony hair. Xiao had to tell himself to start breathing again. He’d been deployed in Honolulu for three months now and he still had trouble working up the courage to speak to the female marines in his unit.
