PART ROCKET, PART SUPER STEALTH FIGHTER, THEY MUST FIGHT A HIGH-TECH WAR TO KEEP SPACE FREE! Cruising at a "black sky" altitude of 130,000 feet, in the cockpit of the sleek prototype of the super XSO suborbital jet, U.S. Lieutenant Commander Dallas Grant reports the explosion of a Poseidon missile just minutes after its successful deep sea launch. His instruments reveal an aerial attack by another suborbital craft of unknown origin equipped with military technology thought to be available only to the United States and the Soviet Union. The most recent in a series of near-space disasters, the attacks are costing the great powers billions and eroding all global satellite operation and research.
