YOU CAN’T STOP WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE... A NEW KIND OF WAR NEEDS A NEW KIND OF WEAPON—AND A NEW BREED OF WARRIOR. Deep in the Nevada desert, the latest evolution in modern warfare is being tested. The 201st Special Operations Wing is home to the new Strikemasters—C-17 transport planes converted into stealth-skinned airborne arsenals. Manned by ace pilots and technicians, and carrying a lethal complement of Abrams tanks, all-terrain fighting vehicles, combat helicopters, and boots-on-the-ground troopers, the Strikemasters are the ultimate fast-moving, hard-hitting weapon. And they are about to test their limits. A group of al Qaeda marauders has mercilessly destroyed a "forbidden" school for girls in the lawless mountains of Pakistan and abducted the aid workers. They plan to kill their hostages and sell the footage to the highest bidder. In their mountain stronghold, the captors think they are safe from any attack. The Strikemasters are about to prove them wrong...
THE STRIKEMASTERS ARE TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY—WITH OR WITHOUT BACKUP. The men of the 201st Special Operations Wing have gone rogue, tackling dangerous missions beyond the scope of U.S. law. With stealth aircraft and ultra high-tech fighting vehicles, this elite team is going after the agents of genocide in Africa—while their own government calls them criminals. Their former commander, Colonel Doug Newman, has been taking the heat for them. Now the government needs their help. A gang of terrorists have been causing trouble, searching for a rare form of yellowcake uranium. In exchange for tracking down the hooligans, the U.S. government will dismiss the Strikemasters' previous "crimes." But the terrorists' trail might lead right back to the United States...
Ever since the elite 201st Special Operations Wing was disbanded for dispensing their own brand of international antiterrorism, Major Tommy Gunn has been a man without a mission. And the world is without hope, as rumors of global destruction throw the people into a panic. The situation grows more dire after a terrorist attack occurs in Kuwait City: A fighter jet—an advanced Russian MiG that the Iraqis flew into hiding during the first Gulf War—is deliberately crashed into a funeral procession. Similar attacks follow, and all intel points to a nightmarish all-out assault to come in the very near future. Only one fighting force can stop it... The Strikemasters are back.
