This novel is dedicated to all the men and women serving in the armed forces of the United States of America, and especially to the U.S. Air Force bomber crews. At this writing, for the first time since Vietnam, all of our country’s heavy bomber forces are in action during the same conflict, over the Balkans. Doing more with less seems to be your specialty now, but it is a task and a duty you shoulder with extreme pride and professionalism.
This story is also dedicated to the families of all who serve. Without their love and support, the best soldiers and the most powerful war machines in the world would be nothing more than empty shells.
Patrick McLanahan is back--and this time he faces his most difficult challenge. He must pull together a team of aggressive, maverick young pilots to face a world on the brink of massive nuclear conflict. It begins with a joint U.S.-Japanese-South Korean mock bombing raid. But the South Korean fighter pilots don’t stick to the script. Instead they race across the border into North Korea to support a massive people’s revolt against the Communists.
Virtually overnight the fledgling United Korea is the world’s newest nuclear power, igniting a fuse that threatens to blow Asia apart and trigger World War II1. Only McLanahan has the top-secret aviation technology and the brash young heroes to stop the coming inferno--if he can get them to quit fighting each other and start fighting as a team before the world is reduced to cinders!
