When in 2043 the heavens opened up and collapsed and hordes of alien invaders poured onto Earth through a portal that opened at the zenith, it was possible to repel the invasion of aliens only at the cost of colossal losses, using thermonuclear weapons. But this was only the first wave of the invasion - the enemy is again gathering strength, from time to time probing our military space defenses with targeted landings and conducting reconnaissance in force. Russia responds by creating a group of orbital cruisers and flying aircraft carriers, on which squadrons of interceptor fighters built using captured technology are based. They are not just WINGS OF THE MOTHERLAND and guardians of the sky patrolling the stratosphere. They are humanity’s last hope for survival in the star war... A NEW novel from the bestselling author of “Dragons of Sardis” and “Warriors of Sardis” is not a mossy “space opera”, as the genre was outdated in the last century. This is a super-fast experimental military space action thriller of a new generation, turning on full afterburners from the first pages and demonstrating the wonders of aerobatics!
