Rules of Command

An American cruiser accidentally shoots down a commercial airliner carrying the president of Panama. An interim government, backed by China, seizes control of the Panama Canal.

The world is at their command.

Rules of Command is the electrifying new novel by C. A. Mobley, an experienced Naval officer and bestselling author of Rites of War. Commander Jerusha Bailey returns--when a terrifying new regime in Panama shuts down the Canal and ignites a major international crisis. Unsettling questions plague Bailey's peacekeeping mission: Why did the U.S. perceive the commercial airliner as a hostile military plane? Why are the Navy SEALs interfering with Bailey's mission? Why are unarmed merchant ships sinking near the Canal? And most important, what is the real goal of the Chinese--and how far will they go to get it?
