An Arab conspiracy backed by Soviet firepower has launched an all-out strike against the U.S. with a massive wave of terrorist atrocities. The President has sanctioned Mack Bolan, Phoenix Force and Able Team, America's elite antiterrorist squads, to combat a situation that has reached horrifying proportions. In the Middle East theater, Bolan and the men of Phoenix are pushed deep behind enemy lines by Iraqi forces and Spetsnaz teams, while Able Team battles to prevent the annihilation of a major U.S. city. Israel, straining at the leash, primes for a holocaust showdown of its own. The Executioner must contend with itchy nuclear trigger fingers as the conflict threatens to explode across the globe and into oblivion.
