Strike Force

When a disgraced former Iranian military chief of staff instigates an insurgency threatening the theocratic regime in Iran, a new era seems imminent in the Middle East. On the run from the Pasdaran, the regime's terror army, rebel leader General Hesarak al-Kan Buzhazi seeks help from his old adversary, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant-General Patrick McLanahan. Reluctant to involve American forces in an Iranian civil war, the U.S. president authorizes McLanahan to deploy a top-secret fleet of spaceplanes, the XR-A9 Black Stallions, led by test pilot Captain Hunter Noble. McLanahan's Air Battle Force quickly turns the tide, potentially altering the region's future. However, the emergence of global military reach and the reactivation of America's first military space station, Silver Tower, raises concerns of a space arms race, while the insurgency in Iran threatens to spark a worldwide jihad. Amidst this chaos, McLanahan faces intense political battles in Washington, with factions either supporting or undermining his space-based military initiative. As he navigates these challenges, it falls to Hunter Noble and his team of young engineers to prevent the situation in the Middle East from spiraling out of control.
