Description
It is the start of the new century and the world is still a very dangerous place. Fully aware that the US cannot fight two Major Theater Wars at the same time, China and the radical Islamic states attack simultaneously. Maddy Turner, the embattled president, is forced to focus on the Middle East while fighting a holding action in Asia. She sends a ragtag collection of A-10 Warthogs to Malaysia, led by dare-devil pilot Matt Pontowski. It will only be a matter of days before their base is overrun. But there is a wildcard. Victor Kamigami is a legend in the world of special operations. He is past his prime, but when Chinese guerillas destroy his village and murder his family he is set on a quest of retribution...
