X-Battalion — Jack Shane

Bobby Autry has just been given his last command: the military's newest addition to the elite TF-160 helicopter unit, the X-Battalion. The experimental group is supposed to outfly the Night Stalkers, outshoot the SEALs, and outsmart the CIA. Fully autonomous, completely adaptable, they are a pipe dream nobody expects to succeed, with Autry already framed as the fall guy. But now this pipe dream may be the only thing standing between the United States and annihilation.

There's trouble in Asia. An out-of-control dictator has acquired a horrible weapon, a monstrosity developed during the Cold War and meant to be the ultimate deterrent -- a weapon that could end all life on the planet. There are only forty-eight hours before he deploys this Doomsday device. The only hope for America and the world -- a ragtag group of castoffs, hotshots, and mavericks nobody else wanted.
