Alpha Base. It's the home of America's nuclear stockpile, over 5,000 warheads protected by a formidable high-tech security system deep in the salt flats of Nevada.
If Alpha Base is ever penetrated, no one on earth will be safe... .

From the heart of remote Africa, a terrorist army has launched a daring plot.
Their objective: seize Alpha and steal its deadly cache of superweapons.
Their allies: American scientist Dr. Anthony Harding and his lover Vikki Osborrn, self-styled revolutionaries who'll blast a pathway to the base from its own backyard.
Their adversary: Major William McGriffin, USAF; acting commander of the base.
Cut off from his command post, McGriffin must implement a surgically precise counterstrike to retake Alpha-knowing that if he makes one mistake, the entire world will pay.
