Maverick pilot Patrick McLanahan takes aerial warfare into unknown territory in an explosive new adventure from the bestselling author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG, WARRIOR CLASS and WINGS OF FIRE.

On America's newest combat base McLanahan and his crew are devising the air combat unit of the future - the Air Battle Force. An elite team backed by leading-edge technology, they control an armada of unmanned planes that can reach any spot on the globe within hours, and they will have their first target when an oil dispute turns Turkmenistan into an international battleground. But can a handful of commandos and an unproven force of experimental warplanes fight and win a war in which seemingly everyone - even 'friendly' forces at home - wants them to fail?
