Having written several non-fiction police books, Bultema breaks away from that historical form and takes the reader on an edge-of-your-seat, present-day military thriller with missiles flying between the United States and China in their bloody fight for Taiwan. In his debut novel, Sea of Red, Bultema combines his experiences with his flair for storytelling, using his highly-turned research skills to pen an accurate account of what war with China might look like. The result is an immensely readable military thriller with characters that will stay with you long after you finish the story.
