The year, 1953. Science fiction is now secret and immediate
reality. The toughest general who ever lived is president of the
United States. His only weapons --The US Air Force, the mysterious
Majestic 12, and Oracle Alpha, a young woman of strange gifts.
Beyond them all, his own intellect and wealth of military
experience must prepare him, must ready the world, for a
confrontation and future never imagined. "The Eisenhower
Enigma."
"I always wanted a soldier's life. The men I trained during
World War I shipped to France immediately. My orders finally came
in October, 1918. I longed to lead my unit into action. The war
ended seven days before I was to sail for France. Now, my combat
moment has come again."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Forty F-86 Sabrejet fighters stand ready to attack on Feb. 20.
Since I gave the orders the dazzling capabilities of the enemy
craft and the reach of their weapons has gnawed at my mind."
General Nathan Twining, USAF
"My life changed in 1952, when General Twining sent me to Duke
University to be tested for intuitive abilities by Dr. Joseph
Rhine. On our last day I asked Dr. Rhine what he'd tell the Air
Force. 'Just what you intended, ' he said. I smiled. Free at
last."
Oracle Alpha
The code word "Valentine" ripped through Colonel Torres'
earphones. "Two ship integrity," he shouted. "Kill the lights,
follow me down to 500 feet." The Sabres moved as one. But against
an enemy ship ten times as fast, his stomach tightened as he
prepared for his own death.
Lt. Colonel "Mike" Torres, USAF
General
