Produktbeschreibung

The Greatest Power on Earth is about to be Stripped of its Defenses

Alpha Base. It's the home of America's nuclear stockpile, over 5,000 warheads protected by a formidable high-tech security system deep in the salt flats of Nevada. If Alpha Base is ever penetrated, no one on earth will be safe….

From the heart of remote Africa, a terrorist army has launched a daring plot. Their objective: seize Alpha and steal its deadly cache of superweapons. Their allies: American scientist Dr. Anthony Harding and his lover Vikki Osborrn, self-styled revolutionaries who'll blast a pathway to the base from its own backyard. Their adversary: Major William McGriffin, USAF; acting commander of the base. Cut off from his command post, McGriffin must implement a surgically precise counterstrike to retake Alpha-knowing that if he makes one mistake, the entire world will pay.
