The nation's #1 air-crash investigation team of sleuths-caught up in a conspiracy, fighting to survive.
The Antonov AN-124 Ruslan "Condor"-the world's heavyweight champ among production cargo jets. Russian tanks, American firefighting helicopters, rescue submersibles, satellites, city-sized power transformers...the Condor hauls them all over the world. But when one lifts a top-secret payload rated as too dangerous, Russia launches a covert attack on US soil. The government must take action. Untraceable action, politically safe action. Call Delta Force? SEAL Team Six?
