In military time, a dozen years is not a large leap into the future. Most active American ships and aircraft were already deploying 13 years ago, and will still be in service as many years hence.
So it s not surprising that the world of 2034, the apocalyptic new war novel from Elliot Ackerman and retired Adm. James Stavridis, feels so familiar. The U.S. Navy is still laboring to counter Chinese sovereignty claims in the South China Sea; Iran still looms as an unstable threat; and the Defense Department remains beset by cyber vulnerabilities ripe for exploitation.

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, a machine known as The Turk became a sensation by winning matches against expert chess players.
Audiences marveled at this feat of technological wizardry - that is, until one vanquished player took a closer look and discovered that there was a man hidden inside. The whole thing was a hoax.
That long-ago story pops into the head of Sandeep Chowdhury, a deputy U.S. national security adviser, as he s pulled deeper into a terrifying match of technology and military gamesmanship in 2034: A Novel of the Next World War, by combat veteran Elliot Ackerman and Adm. James Stavridis, a former supreme allied commander of NATO.
