From writing the fiction books “The Warramunga’s War, The Warramunga’s Aftermath of War and Skills of the Warramunga writer” the author Greg Kater brings the fourth trilogy of fiction writing with the book Conflict on the Yangtze. Here, I give a review on the book published in 2019 by Zeus Publications.

Operatives have never had it easy when it comes to following leads on a trail of missing links. In this trilogy the author talks about how the MI6 operatives do all that it takes to capture those that involved in the illegal trading of opium in China and smuggled through a major river, Yangtze. The destinations were speculated to be the United States of America, the Philippines, and Australia.

The death of Commander Daniel Stafford, who was an operative of MI6 after he and his junior operative Lee Drake attempted to go the surrounding where the smuggler operated form invoked the Colonel John Cook to ask three of his other men to join him for the trip to china to go join Drake.

As part of their operation, the four men were taken on a walk around Shanghai the city where the river of Yangtze was found by Drake.

They operated in silence for days as per nature of their job and after a few days they spotted a white boat which they believed contained opium and was departing for one of the supposedly smuggling destinations.

They kept a careful look at it and did not let it out of their sight.

The smugglers are not that careless, especially if there is a chain of countries or even governments involved in such practices. They somehow realised that there were people after their trail and got a hold of John and gave him some beating.

However, John getting beaten up did not stop them from their operation they carried on until they discovered that the boat they spotted was going Samar.

They followed the boat until the Roper River in Australia where it sailed and started with distribution.

In summary, the author talks about four MI6 operatives who joined their colleague in China who survived a hit after he and his commander went on a trail of Opium smugglers. I admire the courage expressed by the characters in the story as they all stood up for one another and they never gave up on following leads. This is a true reflection of operatives as they try by all means to find out the root cause of something. I would have loved to know who the buyers of the smuggled opium exactly were. I rate this book 4 out of 4 because it is edited to the standard of professionalism and I call on the operatives of every security intelligence service agency all over the world to read the book.
