Alan Craig & Mike Dukas attempt to decipher a investigation file that has been foisted on them by the CIA, which appears to have been seeded with bait material that draws them into a meeting which is... a 'Hostile Contact' hey hey. The title also comes into play later in the novel when the carrier battlegroup Alan's detactment is a part of has hostile contact with Chinese & Chinese backed actors.
The novel itself is quite good, it does not suffer from the flaws evident is Peacemaker and with Top Hook having done the lead in work it pretty much launches into the story line with little delay, although there is a little lead in with the introduction of Jerry Piat, and some other tertiary characters that are relevant to this books plot.
Pretty good, climactic ending, bit of feel-good subplot wrap up for some of the Navy men and the reader also gets some satisfaction with the outcome of some of the seedier character's subplots. (
