Ride Of The Valkyries

by Stuart Slade

The B-70 Valkyrie is joining America's arsenal at a time when the world is hitting a new crisis. In North Africa, heroic resistance by French and Algerian troops have stopped the advance of the Caliphate in its tracks. In the South China Sea, missile cruisers of the Indian and Japanese Navy are about to meet head-on in the first major naval battle for a quarter of a century. In a battle that ranges from the deserts of North Africa to the fabulous casinos in Cuba, the Valkyrie will draw its baptism of fire in an effort to destroy the Caliphate's biological weapons.
