The story is written by author Jim DeFelice, and takes place in late 2015/early 2016. The story starts off with Lieutenant Colonel William Bishop, the leader of United States Air Force Warwolf Squadron, having a nightmare of an intense air battle over Miami. The unknown enemy aircraft are numerous, but one-by-one they are all shot down, until a mysterious pilot shows up. He shoots down Bishop, who ejects after coming to his senses. From his parachute, he sees the same pilot taking down other air force pilots, and aims to hit Bishop with his nose. At that point, Bishop wakes up. Meanwhile, two helicopter squadrons, Nomad and Shooter, go to an East African nearby town occupied by anti-government insurgent troops calling themselves "SRN." The helicopters manage to put down the rebels' resistance and clear most of them out of the town, but a large explosion comes out of nowhere and takes down most of the helicopters, injuring the crews. While these crews return to the nearby allied base, attention turns back to Bishop, who is also staying at the base. More current events are revealed; Warwolf, Nomad, and Shooter Squadrons are all part of the 108th Task Force, a large multinational U.N. military force composed of NATO and Russian forces sent to stop the SRN who are threatening East Africa. Tensions are flaring between the Russian and NATO forces, particularly between NATO General Pierre La Pointe and Russian General Ivan Stagleishov. Other soldiers and pilots, such as Russian Major Sergei Illich, are happy to serve with their American counterparts; Illich himself strikes up a fast friendship with Bishop and his wingman, José "Guts" Gutierrez.sikandar khan
During their attacks against the rebels, the SRN uses the unknown explosion once more against the helicopter squadrons while they were on a rescue mission to retrieve Major Illich, who had been shot down in a previous mission. The 108th Task Force determines the SRN must be hiding the weapon inside the caves of Mogadiyu, a nearby archaeological-significant region, and decides to utilize ground troops, Warwolf, Nomad, Shooter, and Spooky (a single AC-130 unit) to destroy the storage facilities. General Stagleishov refuses to provide his Russian MiGs for the operation for fear of an international conflict, but NATO performs it regardless. When Warwolf Squadron returns to the allied base, they get a transmission that a nearby city is under attack by rebels. Warwolf attempts to assist their allies in Carruth, but are intercepted by Stagleishov's squadron mid-way, who show their true colors; they were on the side of the rebels the entire time. Warwolf and Lion, a friendly French squadron, manage to shoot down most of Stagleishov's allies, but Stagleishov himself shows up escorting Andrei Markov, a highly skilled Russian pilot and the same one from Bishop's nightmare. Markov attempts to shoot down Guts, but Bishop intervenes; however, Markov performs a maneuver that Bishop can't follow, and Markov damages his plane. He and Stagleishov are running low on fuel and must retreat, but not before Markov mocks his American rival. When Bishop lands his damaged plane, the rebel forces detonate an even more powerful version of the weapon seen before.www.dhoomweb.blogspot.com
The weapon has been identified as "Trinity," a bomb with the power of a tactical nuclear weapon (but without any radiation). Trinity has been outfitted onto cruise missiles and can be used anywhere. SRN has been discovered to be funded by Blatnoi, a Russian crime organization, and they threaten to use Trinity on Dubai. Warwolf intercepts bombers en route to Dubai, while Shooter and Nomad intercept rebel cargo ships in hopes of finding Trinity weapons. However, it turns out the threat was merely a smoke screen so Blatnoi could stage a coup in Russia, led by Stagleishov with the support of a large part of the Russian military, calling itself the New Russian Federation (NRF). The NRF quickly takes control of Moscow and surrounding areas, and the 108th performs many counter-operations to liberate the Russian cities. Illich, who was not loyal to Stagleishov, has returned to assist the 108th with his own Red Moon Squadron as the leader of the Russian loyalist forces. Markov has also attempted to use Trinity at one point, but the missile was shot down by Bishop. The NRF manages to fire an ICBM at the United States, but it was also shot down before it could leave Russia; strangely enough, though, Illich disappeared in the middle of the operation.
Eventually, the 108th manages to arrive at Moscow; however, another Trinity missile successfully detonates, taking down many of the 108th helicopters in the area. Warwolf and Tiger, another American squadron, intercept six bombers en route to Moscow escorted by Markov. The sixth was carrying another Trinity missile, but it was shot down before it could even launch. Bishop then manages to shoot down Markov, but Markov ejects. Stagleishov decides to contact the 108th to negotiate the NRF's surrender exchanging the final Trinity missile for political immunity, but he is suddenly assassinated by Markov. Unaware of the live video feed, Markov reveals his true intention was not to take control of Russia, but to use this opportunity take revenge on the United States for the death of his illegally-married wife, Krista Yoslav, who was accidentally killed in an off-course American air strike during the Bosnian War. Markov blamed the Americans for the death of his wife and in retribution planned his strike back at America .He steals the last remaining Trinity missile and escapes to South America with his loyalists, where he plans to attack the United States directly.
Illich is revealed to have been in league with Markov the entire time, and betrays the 108th by joining Markov's forces bound for the U.S. In order to counter Markov, Warwolf Squadron is immediately relocated to Miami to join other American squadrons to intercept Markov's forces if they attempt to attack. As expected, Markov and his pilots attack Miami in full force, but are eventually repelled by Warwolf Squadron and the U.S. Air Force. However, Markov manages to ambush Bishop in a scene eerily similar to Bishop's nightmare, but Guts blocks off the missile with his own plane. Bishop shoots Guts' canopy off to help him eject, and Bishop then fires at Markov's plane head-on, managing to damage the Trinity missile before being forced to break off and refuel. Bishop catches up to Markov and Illich as they refuel off the coast of Florida. Bishop pursues Illich into a nearby Category 5 hurricane and engages him in a duel, resulting in Illich's death. Bishop proceeds to Washington D.C. and finds the city already under attack by Markov's forces. Bishop and other USAF pilots struggles to repel the assault due to large numbers, but the USAF pilots still hold off the attack. Markov's forces successfully neutralize all of the anti-air defenses, and Markov then reappears, intent on dropping Trinity on the White House, but most of his loyalist were shot down after the defenses were neutralized. Bishop keeps Markov locked in a duel, eventually ending up at the White House; Markov manages to fire the missile before being shot down and killed, but Bishop manages to intercept it and destroy it harmlessly over the river. Upon landing his plane at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Bishop is given a hero's welcome.
