An old enemy is stirring . . .
The destruction of a Russian air base by robotic U.S. warplanes has
reawakened the bear--and America must pay a terrible price. In
retaliation, Russia's leader launches the most devastating military
sneak attack since Pearl Harbor, decimating America's strategic air
forces. Now an embattled U.S. president must choose between two horrific
scenarios: a cease-fire on the enemy's terms . . . or respond with every
weapon in the nation's arsenal, possibly triggering global thermonuclear
war.
Disgraced and demoted to a desk job, aerial warfare expert Brigadier
General Patrick McLanahan saw the nightmare coming--and only he can stop
the relentless Russian war machine. But the fight for the future must
take place in the blazing skies, a battlefield off-limits to the
discredited former commander of Air Battle Force . . . unless McLanahan
takes matters into his own hands.
