Operation Red Metal is a nightmare scenario made real but could it just be the first move on the Russian chessboard? Ranged against the Russian attack are a Marine lieutenant colonel pulled out of a cushy job at the Pentagon and thrown into the fray, a French Special Forces captain and his intelligence operative father, a young Polish female partisan fighter, an A-10 Warthog pilot, and the captain of an American tank platoon who, along with a German sergeant, struggle to keep a small group of American and German tanks in the fight.
It's all part of a master plan to confuse and defeat America and her allies. Satellite killing missiles blind American forces while Spetznatz teams destroy Allied communications relays. Their tanks race across Poland crushing all opposition on a headlong dash for the heart of Germany. A stunningly realistic view of modern warfare from a battlefield commander and the New York Times bestselling author of The Gray Man. A Russian military strike against Europe could change the balance of power in the West.
