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?
