In this episode of The Interview, Hugh is joined by Admiral James Stavridis (U.S. Navy - Ret.) and Elliot Ackerman to discuss their book, "2034: A Novel of the Next World War."

From two former military officers and award-winning authors, a chillingly authentic geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034--and the path from there to a nightmarish global conflagration.

Everything in 2034 is an imaginative extrapolation from present-day facts on the ground combined with the authors' years working at the highest and most classified levels of national security. Sometimes it takes a brilliant work of fiction to illuminate the most dire of warnings: 2034 is all too close at hand, and this cautionary tale presents the reader a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid.

"2034: A Novel of the Next World War" is available at Amazon and other retailers now.
