Publisher's Summary
With war threatening large on the Korean Peninsula, two massive convoys have departed Chinese ports. Dubbed the Northern and Southern invasion fleets, this collection of warships, landing vessels, and merchant ships are aimed straight at the island nation of Taiwan.
First though, they must cross the Taiwanese Strait. Past the twelve-mile limit of China’s territorial boundaries, American submarines and bombers are waiting to pounce. Attempting to vie for supremacy with the United States, China rapidly built up its blue water fleet. Will these modernized destroyers and frigates be able to fend off the American threat? Or will America’s years-old dominance prevail?

Overly Detailed and a Struggle to Get Through
I had high hopes for Tipping Point: The Crossing, having enjoyed previous works by John O’Brien, but I found this one to be a bit of a disappointment. While I appreciate detailed world-building, this book felt long-winded and overly repetitive. The explanations seemed to go on and on, often repeating themselves or adding details that didn’t really contribute to the progression of the story.
At times, I found myself losing interest because the pacing was bogged down by unnecessary situational descriptions. It felt like the core storyline took a back seat to an overload of explanations, and that’s where the book started to lose me. Unfortunately, this affected my overall enjoyment, and I struggled to get through it.
I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the series after this, which is a shame, as I was invested in it before. It feels like O’Brien lost his way in this instalment, focusing too much on the minutiae and not enough on the plot and character development. I hope future books in the series find a better balance.
