Not too long ago I finished Asia's Cauldron by Robert Kaplan. Then it was Bill Hayton's The South China Sea. Oh, and I listened to The Bat by Jo Nesbo. It was enjoyable enough for a hardboiled story, but given all the fuss about the Harry Hole saga, meh, I was expecting more. Should anyone here actually have an interest in the SCS -- hey, you never know -- let me just say that the Hayton book is the one you want ( to read first ). And I'm not just saying that because Kaplan is associated with the cabal of neocon shits running the State Department.

Not sure what'll be next. I haven't read any SFF in ages. Is that bad?
