"Dale Brown is a superb storyteller."— W. E. B. Griffin
In this thrilling geopolitical adventure from
New York Times bestselling legend Dale Brown,
Brad McLanahan and the Space Force must fight to
preserve America's freedom when ruthless enemies
forge an unlikely alliance to control not only
the earth, but the moon and beyond
Because its enemies never stop trying to undermine
the security of the United States, the men and
women who serve to protect America must always
be vigilant. Few know this better than warriors Brad
McLanahan and Nadia Rozek. Newly married, the
two are just beginning to settle into their life together
when they are called back into action.
Though the Russians were badly defeated by Brad
and the Iron Wolf Squadron in their previous bid for
world dominance, they are back and doubling down
on their quest for control of outer space. In addition to
their cutting-edge weaponry, they have a formidable
new ally: China's energetic and ruthless leader,
President Li Jun.
To protect America and the rest of the free world
from the Russians and the Chinese, the Americans
plan to mine the moon's helium-3 resources, which will
allow them to fully exploit the revolutionary fusion
power technology Brad and his team captured from
the Russians aboard the Mars One weapons platform.
But Russia's minister of defense, Mikhail Leonov,
and Li have devised a daring plan of their own. They
are building a joint secret base on the moon's far side
fortified with a powerful Russian plasma rail gun that
can destroy any spacecraft entering lunar orbit. If the
heavily armed base becomes operational, it will give
America's enemies control over the world's economic
and military future.
As this latest skirmish in the war for space accelerates, Brad, Nadia, and their compatriots in the Space
Force must use their cunning and skill—and America's
own high-tech weaponry—to derail the Sino-Russian
alliance and destroy their lunar site before it's too late
for the United States . . . and the entire world.
