September 11, 2001, was a terrible day but the American Holocaust some years later was much, much worse. Russian bombers attacked the United States in waves with hypersonic nuclear-tipped missiles. Isolated, forgotten Battle Mountain in north central Nevada survived and its high tech bombers, under the command of Lt. General Patrick McLanahan, retaliated against the Russians and achieved neutrality between the two nations. Battle Mountain then became the center of American strategic combat operations with all surviving airplanes, manned or unmanned, and all combat command posts being relocated in this once forgotten area settled after the American Civil War. Patrick McLanahan, forced to resign from his position, now works with the local Civil Air Patrol along with his teenage son, Brad. But it is not the Russians who threaten peace now; it is a group of patriots who call themselves the Knights of the True Republic. But how patriotic are they when they begin to blow up federal office buildings, beginning in Reno, Nevada with radioactive bombs?
