Official synopsis Publisher
1982 – Copilot Dillon Lawless finds himself in command of a USAF B-52G bomber on a nuclear-strike mission. The pilot, Captain Spaulding McQuagg, is dead of a gunshot Lawless had been forced to fire himself. A coup d’�tat in Moscow has left a junta of generals and KGB officers struggling for control of the Soviet government and has launched a largescale attack into West Germany. Pale Horse 3 – the lone, airborne B-52 – is tasked with destroying seven Soviet targets in East Germany with nuclear-tipped missiles. Spurlin AFB, Maine, is home to Pale Horse 3 and has been targeted for destruction by a Soviet Naval Spetsnaz team with a man-portable nuclear weapon. The chances of Pale Horse 3 returning home safely are low. Will Pale Horse 3 return to an intact Air Force installation or a radioactive wasteland, or will the NEST teams and Army Rangers eliminate the infiltrators before they can detonate a nuclear weapon on U.S. soil?”Rus Greer uses his experiences as a USAF B-52 pilot to take us on a gut-wrenching romp into the unthinkable war scenario he was trained to fight. Riveting and immersive!” – Dan Hampton, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF (Ret) NYT and international bestselling author of Chasing the Demon.
