From Japan to Malaysia, the Pacific Rim is ablaze--in a hell called . . . WORLD WAR III

"Superior to the Tom Clancy genre, with characters that came alive . . . and the military aspect far more realistic."--The Spectator

In the Pacific--Off Korea's east coast, 185 miles south of the DMZ, six Russian-made TU-22M Backfires come in low, traveling at Mach .9. Each carries two seven-hundred-pound cluster bombs, three one-thousand-pound "iron" or high-explosive bombs, ten one-thousand-pound concrete-piercing bombs, and fifty two-hundred-pound FAEs (fuel air explosives, closely related to Napalm).

All are pointed toward the Fulda Gap.

So it begins . . .
