civilian who works at the Moana Surfrider Hotel in Waikiki Beach and goes on a personal vendetta by committing a series of increasingly-gruesome murders of Chinese troops across occupied Honolulu since her fiancé was a Marine Corps fighter pilot who was killed during the invasion of Hawaii. Technology The authors explicitly wrote Ghost Fleet with the goal of exploring how new technological developments might impact a future war. Technologies explored include electromagnetic railguns, swarm UAVs, optical head-mounted display glasses, space-based weaponry and performance-enhancing stimulants. The book includes over 400 endnotes. Reception Ghost Fleet has been praised as a useful exploration of future conflict and has been recommended by leaders of the United States military as recommended reading for troops. Admiral James Stavridis called the book "A startling blueprint for the wars of the future and therefore needs to be read now!" Attention from Indonesian opposition The Indonesian opposition leader Prabowo Subianto cited a detail in Ghost Fleet regarding Indonesia's hypothetical disintegration in 2030 because of a second Timorese conflict during a Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) assembly speech on 18 September 2017 and treated the novel as an academic study. A video clip of the speech was posted to Gerindra's official Facebook page on 18 March 2018, which subsequently attracted criticism and derision. Singer remarked on Twitter over Prabowo's enthusiasm on the book's particular detail: "There have been many unexpected twists and turns from this book experience, but this may take the cake."
