New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown goes
beyond the headlines in this high-tech, high-tension
military thriller in which a resurgent Russia enflames
sectarian unrest and violence in Ukraine and Poland, setting
off a stealth robotic war and escalating an international
crisis.
In the spring of 2017, the U.S. economy is
rebounding under President Stacy Anne Barbeau, the country’s
first female president. But her leadership is about to be
severely tested: Russian president Gennadiy Gryzlov has sent
Special Troops, disguised as pro-Russian activists, into
Ukraine and Moldova. Though NATO is outraged, its response
is tepid. Refusing to let Russian aggression go unpunished,
former U.S. president Kevin Martindale approaches Polish
president Peter Wilk with a radical solution: a
counterattack using a covert force of Cybernetic Infantry
Device (CID): manned robots.
Underwritten by the
wealthy Wilk, Operation Iron Wolf is launched—without the
knowledge of the Americans or its NATO partners. The CID’s
initial strikes are successful, infuriating Gryzlov and
propelling President Barbeau to pledge western help to
investigate the attack. With international tensions at the
boiling point, Martindale’s secret alliance, supported by
the best military technology, is determined to outmaneuver
the Russians.
In this battle that will determine the
fate of Eastern Europe, just which side will win?
