Fatal Terrain

The People's Republic of China has launched a terrifying attack against Taiwan. Cold. Swift. Deadly. The U.S. isn't willing to stand by and watch, but when they come to Taiwan's aid, they're dealt an unexpected blow from Chinese forces. It looks like the U.S. is going down..


Until aerial strike warfare expert Patrick McLanahan and genius Jon Masters come to into the picture. Together, they have created a monster- the EB-52 Megafortress. A high-tech display of weaponry, fully equipped with stealth cruise missiles. The most sophisticated bomber the world has ever seen. The unsinkable "flying battleship." Now china is on its way to a nuclear high noon. And the Doomsday clock is ticking.
