Firefall

Résumé du livre

Survival is not guaranteed... Firefall sees the return of battle-hardened soldier Mark Isen, now a major with the Third Ranger Battalion, who finds himself and his Rangers in alliance with the German Army, fighting crazed right-wing radicals.Isen and his men are tasked with what they believe to be a peaceful multinational training exercise, but, after parachuting into Germany on a winter night armed only with game plans and blanks, the deadly truth emerges...The Rangers are unable to contact the German exercise controllers and find that the regular German army has been overtaken by the German People's Union, a xenophobic faction that intends to overthrow the German government and decimate the Rangers in a show of force. Without air support and with faltering communications, they struggle to hold their positions while the politicians in Berlin and Washington posture and strategize. Civilians and Rangers alike become casualties and unlikely heroes emerge amidst the panic and despair of an increasingly brutal and bloody battle.Faced with an armed and hostile enemy, Isen must first procure some ammunition and then figure out a way to survive until U.S. reinforcements arrive.Who will make it out alive?
