Summary:

The American aircraft carrier patrolling the Western Pacific is severely damaged by a surprise salvo of cruise missiles. the Russian government officially apologizes, but what it claims was an accident during training was actually a calculated attack. And now it's time for Russia's real mission to begin... With the U.S. Pacific fleet at its weakest - and political unrest already spreading throughout Eastern Europe - the Russian president initiates a bold plan to reoccupy key industrialized areas of the former USSR. Doing so will mean cutting off much of the world's oil and natural gas supply - and wiring every major pipeline with explosives. If the U.S. attempts to thwart Russia, every last resource will be destroyed. America's only option is to launch a simultaneous attack on all fronts. But one false move could lead to a war of epic proportions - one that could do no less than destroy the world itself...
