Former Air Force captain and bestselling author Dale Brown masterfully brings military action to life in this gripping tale. Set in the near future, tensions soar between a financially weakened United States and an economically powerful China, pushing both superpowers to the brink of destruction. Retired Air Force lieutenant-general Patrick McLanahan returns, preparing for an impending clash of men and military technology. The narrative unfolds as China successfully tests its anti-ship ballistic missile, casting a shadow over America's naval supremacy in the Pacific. President Kenneth Phoenix finds himself in a precarious position, struggling to secure funding for new technology amid a massive recession. With the U.S. facing potential loss of naval dominance, McLanahan refuses to accept defeat. He advocates refurbishing old B-1B Lancer bombers to support the AirSea Battle strategy against Chinese aggression. As America readies an AirSea Battle task force in the South China Sea, the People's Liberation Army escalates tensions with advanced fighters, land-based antimissiles, and secretive directed energy weapons. McLanahan is finally authorized to lead his force westward, poised to confront the Chinese threat head-on in a high-stakes showdown.
