The U.S. has unleashed Thor's Hammer, a missile-launching satellite that can strike anywhere on the planet in seconds. But when President Joseph Gardner elects to employ the still-untested weapon against terrorists firing missiles at Indian cities, the Hammer misses its mark, killing thousands of Pakistani civilians. In retaliation, Pakistan and its neighbors grant China a strategic naval advantage over America through access to Middle Eastern ports.
China responds swiftly and brutally, attacking and occupyingSomalia, then setting up missile pads to target U.S. naval ships across vital sea-lanes. While in Earth's orbit, Chinese and Russian spacecraft surround an American space station with one clear message: back down or watch as your navy is crippled.
With a president battling for his political life in D.C., retired Air Force Lieutenant General Patrick McLanahan and Kai Raydon, commander of the U.S. Space Defense Force, race todefusethe crisis—as every second brings the world closer to a full-scale war of superpowers on Earth . . . and miles above it.

媒體評論
“中國和俄羅斯積極政策追求新熱點像索馬里和葉門威脅美國在這個激動人心的near-future政治《布朗暢銷書(流氓力量)。肯尼思·菲尼克斯太陽隊,美國副總統錢尼,發現自己並不相符約瑟夫·加德納謹慎的美國總統,誰是傾向於取消空間武器系統,包括一個精確制導人工隕石,贊成廢除天基武器條約談判。從過去的人物布朗的書,就像Lt.總裁派屈克McLanahan(後悔。)和Lt. Col.傑森,里克特,扮演重要的角色在美國面臨愈來愈多的危機在海上,在空間。國會幾乎不存在。這位球迷會享受到詳細的說明,因為他們演變成先進的技術動作場次(sabots幾乎撞到了地球旅行了一秒,每兩英里的力量一隻重達二千磅的炸彈,創造一個高爆坑大到足以適合大型噴氣式飛機在裡面)。"

原文
"China and Russia pursue newly aggressive policies in hot spots like Somalia and Yemen that threaten the U.S. in this exciting near-future political thriller from bestseller Brown (Rogue Forces). Kenneth Phoenix, the U.S. vice president, finds himself at odds with Joseph Gardner, the cautious U.S. president, who's inclined to cancel a space weapon system, which includes a precision-guided artificial meteorite, in favor of negotiating treaties to abolish space-based weapons. Characters from past Brown books, like Lt. Gen. Patrick McLanahan (ret.) and Lt. Col. Jason Richter, play key roles as the U.S. faces growing crises at sea and in space. Congress scarcely exists. Techno-thriller fans will enjoy the detailed descriptions of cutting-edge technologies as they morph into action sequences (The sabots hit the Earth traveling almost two miles a second, each with the force of a two-thousand-pound high-explosive bomb, creating a crater large enough to fit a jumbo jet within it)." --Publishers Weekly
