Synopsis

When U.S. Air Force aerial warfare expert Major General Patrick McLanahan notices that Russia's heavy bomber and tactical bomber bases are busier than ever, he tries to get his superiors to pay attention, but they ignore him. Then Russian president General Anatoliy Gryzlov launches an all-out sneak attack on America that devastates U.S. strategic air forces.

McLanahan has not only foretold the Russians' daring plan, but he has plans for a counterstrike that could stop the Russian war machine dead in its tracks. But McLanahan is no longer in charge of Air Battle Force, his combat unit of the future, and the attack has left the U.S. president with few options: retaliate with every weapon in his arsenal, even if it triggers a global thermonuclear war, or agree to cease fire on Russia's terms ...

... or listen to McLanahan's long-shot plan of attack.

From AudioFile:

Air Force Major General Patrick McLanahan has been demoted to a desk job, but it's still a vantage point from which he can see the sudden activity at Russian bomber bases. As listeners might expect, he's the only one who can anticipate a sneak attack on American soil and--when his superiors ignore his warning--the only one who can effectively end the threat. J.K. Simmons's pulse-pounding reading puts an emphasis on action, making tense exchanges in American and Russian war rooms sound as gripping as battles. Most of his character voices are standard-issue action-novel gruff, but his subtly menacing Russian president stands out in this nightmare view of diplomacy.
