2395 AD - The Cold War has never been hotter. United States Cosmo Marine James Beecher has just received a new assignment: rescue the leader of the free world. The president has been kidnapped, and all signs point to Russia as the culprit. But nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems. The Russians are building a weapon-a devastating device capable of wiping out billions of lives in an instant. Now Beecher's team wants to steal it and turn it against the Russians themselves. Caught between his patriotic loyalties and possible genocide, Beecher will have to make choices. Choices that could cost him everything.
