IN 1947, THE U.S. ARMY ANNOUNCED THE RECOVERY OF A FLYING SAUCER NEAR ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO-AND THEN DENIED IT. THE WORLD WAS LEFT TO WONDER. AND THEN THE WORLD FORGOT... Someone was killing America's top gun fighter pilots. The war games fought between "Friendly" and "Aggressor" forces high above an ultra-secret electronic battlefield in the American southwest were meant to simulate combat-yet American pilots were suddenly being lost at an alarming rate to real missiles and bullets. The Cold War was supposedly over. Or was it? USAF Colonel Ryder Long was a fearless right-stuff pilot who believed that rules were made to be broken. His assignment from the highest officials in the United States intelligence services meant breaking every rule in the book: take to the skies in his F-15X Strike Eagle jet on a do-or-die mission against the mysterious Aggressors who held the key to the deadly war games-and the long-forgotten Roswell Incident. For Ryder Long it could only end with the survival of a threatened America... or death in the bloody skies over the high-tech battlefield called... WAR HEAVEN.
