As has been posted on this thread, future/potential attacks on us from potential commercial "Q" ships are not a new theory. I just applied them in my book as an assymetrical method for the Chinese to get in some initial very tough blows. There's no secret how vulnerable we are at present to this.

The entire reason for the books is to warn us what might be, and give some potential solutions that are "outside the box" for many of our current policy makers ... like quickly putting up a theater missile defense system, TMD ... which by the way this administration appears ready to go for.

Thanks for the ping. On another thread I just responded to they are talking about terrorists using explosives to take down malls full of shoppers! Imagine that!

DRAGON'S FURY - BREATH OF FIRE
The Story of the coming Third World War

Al....So glad to see that you, too, are aware of how prophetic so much of Jeff’s ‘fiction’ is turning out to be. (And thanks for pinging him to this thread. Although I know he is too humble to admit it, so many of the rumblings that are just now occurring all over the globe either (1) would fit very well into the various intertwined plot threads that he has running througout the books, or (2) are already neatly incorporated into the unfolding story.)

That is what is so incredibly intriguing about ‘Dragon’s Fury’ – not only do the books read as suspensefully as a Clancy novel, but the catastrophic (and yet never leaving the reader feeling that the future of the free world is hopeless) events that occur within the pages are equally (if not moreso) fact-based, and far more prophetic.

Yes I have seen the news reports about Tangos going adfter malls full of shoppers. Now some "scientists" have discovered that our electric power grid has transformers and lines that are vulnerable to attack. Further, these same scientists have noted that an interuption of electrical service in the Boston Washington corridor would be a disaster. As a solution they recommend putting up bullet proof barriers arround transformer substations and hardening the high voltage lines. Of course Freepers are already well awqare f these issues which were discussed in depth here months ago.

As to the use of merchant ships to attack an enemy. It goes back to at least the battle of Salamis. (Greeks versus Persian Empire pre-Alexander the Great). One could also mention Sir Francis Drake and many others.
