THE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF IRAN IS ABOUT TO GET DIRTY

When a disgraced former Iranian military chief of staff engineers an insurgency that threatens to destroy the theocratic regime in Iran, a new era appears to be dawning in the Middle East... but you should never trust old enemies.

On the run from the Pasdaran, the theocrat's terror army, and unable to count on support from his friends in the regular army, Iranian rebel leader General Hesarak al-Kan Buzhazi desperately turns to his old nemesis, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant-General Patrick McLanahan, for help. Unwilling to commit American forces in an Iranian civil war, and with time running out, the U.S. President authorizes McLanahan to utilize a new and top-secret fleet of globe-crossing spaceplanes, the XR-A9 Black Stallions, led by test pilot and astronaut

Captain Hunter Noble.

Then McLanahan finds himself embroiled in conflict at the White House, between those who support his space-based military initiative, and those intent on destroying it. When he's forced to concentrate on his political and personal battles back at home, it's left to Hunter Noble and his team to keep the fires of freedom in the Middle East from exploding completely.
