Africa STORM: An Aggressor Inc. Thriller (The Aggressor Series)

Africa STORM is a stand-alone addition to the Aggressor series. It can be read without having to read the rest of the series.

In an ancient land, superpowers duel with new technologies. Will they mean an end to war, or life on earth?
The world has entered the anti-matter age. But can the US control its terrifying new weapons?
A nuclear-armed enemy decides to test US resolve. In a game of nuclear vs. antimatter chicken, who will swerve?

The personnel of Aggressor Inc. are in Sudan, training the forces of the US-supported government when it issues an ultimatum to all Russian forces to leave the country. Russia isn’t about to give up its only naval base on the Red Sea quietly. Will the US draw an antimatter line in the sand?

Sergeant Ivan Tarisov, a Bumerang scout vehicle commander in Russia’s 55th Motor Rifle Brigade, is no stranger to war. He was pulled from the Pacific ocean after Russia’s abortive attempt to invade Hawaii with China, then besieged in Kaliningrad before it fell to NATO forces who drove Russia’s invading army all the way back to St. Petersburg. Is Africa the continent where Russia will finally be able to achieve its dream of a revitalized empire?

Lieutenant Colonel Abdel Taifur, of the Sudanese Khartoum Combined Arms Battalion, has been fighting civil wars since he was a boy soldier. Now he faces a superpower foe armed with both the technologies and tactics of the new millennium. Can the strategies of his ancient forebears, who fought the Pharaohs of Egypt, hold back the Russian tide?

As Russian mechanized infantry deploys from Port Sudan toward the capital, Khartoum, Aggressor Inc.’s Lieutenant Leroy King and his Semi-Autonomous Airborne Ground Attack unit are sent to the aid of Tairfur’s Sudanese ground forces. Can they hold the Nile River highway until Aggressor Inc. is reinforced?

Sudan was meant to be a soft restart for Captain Karen ‘Bunny’ O’Hare, Aggressor Inc. Sudan flight detachment leader, after several months leave. She was the closest person to ground zero when the first antimatter weapon was tested. Is she about to become the first person to use it in combat?

And on the western banks of the Nile north of Khartoum, a young Bahatin nomad herder driving his goats to market, closely watches the conflict unfold in the skies overhead and the desert around him. Is he witnessing the End of War, or of civilization itself?
