Synopsis:

Under a new president, the future of the Air Force-and the nation-hangs in the balance.

In Desert Storm, Major Daren Mace made a fateful decision to go against orders. To abort a secret mission which was, in his judgement, ill-advised. His actions landed him in military exile. Now Mace has moved on to the Air Force Reserves. There's a new U.S. president. It's a new era. And a new war is escalating along the Ukraine border. This time, Mace has a partner-Rebecca Furness, the military's first woman combat flyer. And this time, the chains of command are tightening around him.
