This is an updated cover edition of B017JZW5GA. In the year 2088, the Pacific Alliance and the Democratic Federation are on the verge of total war. Space has been heavily militarized. Both sides have developed exotic missiles and an elaborate network of communication satellites, reconnaissance satellites, orbiting battlestations, and space stations. In addition, America and Japan have established a permanent base on the moon. Alliance space fighters are based there. From Copernicus Moon Base, space fighter pilot Sky West and his crew are sent on a special recon mission. They witness a Federation missile tear through space at unbelievable speed. Suddenly, the Russians and Germans seem to have a decisive military advantage. General John Terry, Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Space, receives an intelligence report. The Federation intends to deploy the new missile aboard their space stations. The hyper-fast missiles will carry nuclear warheads, breaking the Space Treaty that prohibits nuclear weapons in space. General Terry knows he must take action. War seems inevitable.
