General Patrick McLanahan’s new Aerospace Battle Force is continuing to grow into a full-fledged task force predicated on the Armstrong Space Station. Providing almost instant access to space and every corner of the world using the Black Stallion spaceplanes, the ABF’s powerful network of satellites and unmanned aircraft manipulated from space can not only strike any target everywhere on earth within hours but may also invade any computer network as easily as making a telephone call. But the program has its critics and doomsayers, including Russia, the US, and the American press. Wealthy, Western-educated, and complex Russian president Leonid Zevitin uses a mixture of top-secret anti-spacecraft weaponry, fearmongering, and new U.S. president Joseph Gardner’s own egotism in a highly effective intend to eliminate all support for the space program. Gardner and his allies in Congress and the Pentagon will stop at nothing at all – even destroying one of their own – to get what they need. Yet McLanahan and his forces refuse to permit the Russian aggression to stand. McLanahan ignores directives from the White House and Pentagon to stand down and purchases the ABF to attack top secret Russian bases in Iran. President Gardner orders McLanahan’s immediate arrest. But before authorities can throw him in jail, they have to work out how to retrieve him from the space base orbiting the planet earth. Currently in charge of the Aerospace Battle Force from Armstrong Space Station, McLanahan closely watches Russia’s movement of weaponry while defending himself from the President’s attempts to discredit him. In the race against time, McLanahan must outmaneuver his own countrymen, defeat the Russians, and expose the truth…or die trying.
