Description:
In the year 2000, Brigadier General Patrick McLanahan is sent to a B-1B Lancer unit in Nevada to train a new tactical strike unit designed to seek out and destroy enemy missiles. He has his pick of the most aggressive Type-A personalities, but it may take him years to pull this bunch of mavericks together to fight as a team. But time runs out when the fragile peace in Asia is shattered. What was supposed to be a joint U.S./Japan/South Korea mock bombing raid turns lethal. Instead of hewing to the script, South Korea fighter-bombers streak north and attack key North Korean centers in support of a massive people's revolt against the communist regime.
Expand description
To the world's surprise, the raids are a complete success. The starving North Korean military surrenders. The borders are thrown wide open, the United Republic of Korea is born. But it is also the world's newest nuclear power. It sees its thousands of captured warheads as potent weapons against the massive threat of China, and is ready to defy the United States and even attack China in order to preserve its sovereignty.
Thus begins a violent conflict that threatens to touch off WWIII. Enter McLanahan's raw but audacious team, sent into the fray both to protect United Korea and to stop it.
