Twilight's End

About Twilight's End:When the petty squabble over the Diaoyutai/Senkaku Islands escalates, China moves to reclaim its long lost province of Taiwan, and the East Wind blows, hard and cruel.

Meanwhile, the Persian Gulf erupts when Iran poses a major threat to vital oil production facilities and all the US has ready to stand that watch is the “Gator Navy” of the USMC.
