In Air Battle Force, U.S. Air Force aerial warfare expert Major General Patrick McLanahan and his air combat unit of the future were secretly deployed to the oil-rich nation of Turkmenistan to stop a Taliban invasion. To punish the U.S.A. for their audacity, Russian president General Anatoliy Gryzlov stages a sneak attack that devastates America's strategic air forces. McLanahan has collected information that gives him the data he needs to plan a counterstrike to stop the Russian war machine dead in its tracks. But Patrick is no longer in charge of Air Battle Force, and the embattled U.S. president has few options: retaliate with every weapon in his arsenal, even if it triggers a global thermonuclear war, or agree to a cease fire on Russia's terms…or listen to a disgraced and discredited young bomber commander's long-shot plan of attack.
