The Silver Tower is America’s first permanent space
station. Its primary function is to conduct experiments
on space-based lasers for America’s defence against
intercontinental ballistic missiles. But on Earth, far
below the Silver Tower, tensions between the Soviet
Union and United States are reaching breaking point.
From Turkey, the US Rapid Deployment Forces
mobilise to stop a Russian invasion of Iran with
bombing raids from F/A 16D fighter-bombers. But the
Soviets go on the offensive and launch
intermediate-range nuclear missiles. What follows is a
dramatic, all-too-plausible chain of events leading
towards the first nuclear war in space…
Silver Tower is fast-paced, impeccably authentic,
with a riveting, nail-biting finale.
