It is March 2013. The 2012 U.S. elections have just been fiercely fought at a level of intensity that made 2004 and 2008 look mild. The key issue has been energy. The world is in an energy crisis. Chinas energy demands have escalated beyond levels that even their own energy analysts and planners totally unanticipated. CIAs predictions were right on, but no one in Washington listened.

As the U.S. fought its election, worse events occurred. The House of Saud has imploded, with a night of the long knives in Riyadh. Islamic Fundamentalists gain power in an atmosphere of insurrection and chaos. Oil fields are ablaze, and Saudi oil is on hold. Terrorists mine the Straits of Hormuz, and Lloyds of London restrictions bring most tanker movements in and out of the Gulf to a standstill. Asia and Europe are in economic crisis, stock markets have slumped out of control, and the U.S. is now at the center of the worst world crisis since World War II. What will the new President, Angela Truman, do?

At the center of this crisis is the United States Navy, and at the heart, and indeed very depths, of the action is the Submarine Force of the United States Pacific Fleet. Commander Mark Clark, the submarine commander of the USS Virginia, will play a role that could save this crisis. If he makes the wrong calls, the world could be plummeted into war.

Can Clark and his crew avert the impending world disaster, and can the new Washington elite handle the crisis? Will the murky worlds of CIA and MI-6 make a difference, with a critical plot emerging in China and an analysis team at Langley working against the odds and the clock? Will CIAs and MI-6s agents in Beijing survive? Can the new, untried President Angela Truman make the difference that will stop China from its headlong dash for resource seizure?

The perfect work shoe
Size: 13, Color: Black Leather
I wear dress shoes everyday and I’m on my feet a lot. My wife is the same way and would always praise Clarks, but I didn’t think much of it. I’d always get Nunn Bush or something like that, but they weren’t comfortable or last very long. I happened to be at a Clarks store that was closing one time and picked up a pair of these and boy did everything change that day. Not only are they comfortable they last a long time. I get about one pair a year. That doesn’t mean they only last a year, I just try to keep a nice looking pair. I can wear them all day and my feet don’t hurt. And you get all the comfort without the bulkiness of other comfort footwear companies. They fit nice and don’t pinch or rub anywhere. They are definitely worth the full price, but they go on sale regularly to an even better deal so keep an eye out.

Classic elegance with unmatched comfort
Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black Leather, Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black Leather
I recently purchased the Clarks Men's Oxford shoes, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. These shoes effortlessly blend classic elegance with unmatched comfort, making them a perfect addition to any wardrobe. The first thing that caught my attention was the timeless design. The Oxfords feature a sleek silhouette and high-quality leather craftsmanship that exude sophistication. Whether paired with formal attire or dressed down for a more casual look, these shoes consistently elevate my style. Beyond their aesthetics, the comfort level is exceptional. The cushioned insole provides excellent support throughout the day, making them ideal for long hours on my feet. Additionally, the outsole offers a confident grip, ensuring stability on various surfaces. I also appreciate the attention to detail in the stitching and overall construction. It's evident that Clarks prioritizes durability, and I believe these shoes will stand the test of time. One minor aspect worth mentioning is the initial break-in period. Like most high-quality leather shoes, they required a few wears to conform to my feet perfectly. However, once they molded, the fit became incredibly comfortable. In conclusion, the Clarks Men's Oxford shoes offer a winning combination of style, comfort, and durability. Whether for formal events or daily wear, they consistently deliver a polished and refined look. I highly recommend these Oxfords to anyone seeking a timeless and reliable footwear option.

Great shoe for the price
Size: 9, Color: Black
My son needed a dressy pair of shoes. Decided to try these for the price. He loves them and has worn them several times. They still look great and he says they're comfortable. We ordered his regular size and it fit perfect. We’re very happy with this purchase.
