* Filled with explosive adventure, unforgettable characters and authentic technology, Dale Brown's New York Times bestselling novels have established him as the undisputed master of the aerial thriller. Now he returns to the air in a spectacular novel about a world on the brink of war and a new generation of brash young heroes...
Aerial combat expert Patrick McLanahan's latest challenge is to turn a group of young, maverick pilots into America's premier tactical strike force. This already difficult task takes on unexpected urgency when the fragile peace in Asia is shattered as South Korean fighter-bombers attack North Korea in support of a massive people's revolt.
To the world's surprise, North Korea surrenders, the borders are thrown open and the defiant new United Republic of Korea is born - ready to use its reserve of nuclear warheads to take on the USA and even attack China in order to preserve its sovereignty. Thus begins a violent conflict that threatens to embroil all of Asia. Enter McLanahan's raw, audacious team, sent into the fray both to protect United Korea and to stop it...
