THE WARLORD OF A REMOTE MOUNTAIN KINGDOM HAS A DIRTY LITTLE SECRET—A NUCLEAR DEVICE THAT WILL BRING CHINESE, SOVIET AND AMERICAN LEADERS TO THEIR KNEES—AND TURN THE WORLD INTO A LIFELESS DESERT...
Led by a maverick flyer named Ryder Long who believes all rules are made to be broken, a handful of misfits, rebels and flying fools make up the mission that alone can stop the mysterious twentieth-century warlord, Colonel Toon, in his Southeast Asian fortress.
