Battle Born

Patrick McLanahan is back--and this time he faces his most difficult challenge. He must pull together a team of aggressive, maverick young pilots to face a world on the brink of massive nuclear conflict. It begins with a joint U.S.--Japanese--South Korean mock bombing raid. But the South Korean fighter pilots don't stick to the script. Instead they race across the border into North Korea to support a massive people's revolt against the Communists.

Virtually overnight the fledgling United Korea is the world's newest nuclear power, igniting a fuse that threatens to blow Asia apart and trigger World War Ill. Only McLanahan has the top-secret aviation technology and the brash young heroes to stop the coming inferno--if he can get them to quit fighting each other and start fighting as a team before the world is reduced to cinders!
