Strike Force

Více o knize

A disgraced former Iranian military chief of staff sparks an insurgency that threatens the theocratic regime in Iran, signaling a potential shift in the Middle East. On the run from the Pasdaran, the regime's terror army, rebel leader General Hesarak al-Kan Buzhazi seeks assistance from U.S. Air Force Lieutenant-General Patrick McLanahan, his old adversary. Reluctant to involve American forces in Iran's civil strife, the U.S. president permits McLanahan to deploy a secret fleet of spaceplanes, the XR-A9 Black Stallions, commanded by test pilot Captain Hunter Noble. This intervention quickly alters the conflict's dynamics, with implications for the region's future. As global military reach expands and America's first military space station, Silver Tower, is reactivated, concerns about a space arms race grow. The insurgency in Iran threatens to escalate into a worldwide jihad. Meanwhile, McLanahan faces political challenges at the White House, battling those who oppose his space-based military initiative. With McLanahan preoccupied with these struggles, it falls to Hunter Noble and his team of young engineers to prevent the situation in the Middle East from spiraling out of control.
