A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

America is caught in the lethal center of an unwinnable two-front war -- in this gripping and explosive thriller from the master of geopolitical intrigue . . .

The war on terrorism has borne bitter fruit, as the radical Islamic states forge an unholy alliance with a surging China, aiming for total control of the Middle East's vast oil reserves and the strategic Strait of Malacca. As a new axis of world power simultaneously launches a devastating double-pronged conflict -- one a depleted American military cannot possibly win -- President Maddy Turner, the first woman ever to occupy the Oval Office, must react swiftly to a global crisis of world-altering proportions. And so she turns to the only man she can trust in the brutal snake pit of Beltway politics: Brigadier General Matt Pontowski. A brilliant flyer and military tactician, and the intimate confidant of the most powerful woman on Earth, he must now undertake a mission at once bold and extraordinary -- and potentially suicidal -- as a desperate nation confronts Armageddon, and its leader approaches what will be either her finest hour . . . or her most tragic mistake.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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...
