Description
Star Wars – the ultimate defence, the final aggression
The Silver Tower is America’s first permanent space station. Its primary function is to conduct experiments on space-based lasers for America’s defence against intercontinental ballistic missiles. But on Earth, far below the Silver Tower, tensions between the Soviet Union and United States are reaching breaking point.
From Turkey, the US Rapid Deployment Forces mobilize to stop a Russian invasion of Iran with bombing raids from F/A 16D fighter-bombers. But the Soviets go on the offensive and launch intermediate-range nuclear missiles. What follows is a dramatic, all-too-plausible chain of events leading towards the first nuclear war in space…
Silver Tower is fast-paced, impeccably authentic, with a riveting, nail-biting finale.
