The deadliest strike will come from outer space
When America develops the most powerful defense system in history, will it be used to protect the nationβor will it be used to force universal domination? This question must be answered in the stillness of outer space and the corridors of the White House.
The United States has just unleashed the most powerful weapon in historyβa missile-launching satellite called Thor's Hammer that can strike anywhere on the planet in seconds. Now the United States stands unchecked in military dominance.

The world's other major superpowers, Russia and China, are rocked by America's development, and they scramble to respond by gaining control of the seas. When terrorists hijack Pakistani missiles and fire them at Indian cities, U.S. president Joseph Gardner has only one option: to use the untested Thor's Hammer. But something goes awry and the Hammer misses one of its targets...
