Entertaining War: Let the Games Begin Hardback - 2007

No one expected this kind of terrorist. Lieutenant Colonel Laura "Fox" Den is a fighter pilot and the first woman to command an F-22 Raptor squadron. Widowed five years before by a terrorist attack that left her with two kids and a heavy psychological burden, she isn't exactly the poster child the newly transformed Air Force wants. However, she's really good at what she does and probably has no more stress than other fighter jocks in an expeditionary combat unit fighting the Global War on Terrorism. But, that stress level explodes when an American hacker, an avid video gamer with a grudge against the Air Force, generates several seemingly random cyber attacks that create havoc in her life. The attacks target her children's videogames, down a Raptor in her squadron and precipitate a surprise war on the Korean Peninsula just as unification efforts between North and South Korea are about to be finalized. Immersed in these multilevel attacks, Lieutenant Colonel Den has to prioritize her responses as a mother, a target and a warfighter. Assisted by her mentor and close friend, Colonel John "Wart" Hogge, Den is about to lead her Raptor squadron to war in the Pacific Rim when another cyber attack comes from a totally unexpected source that changes her orders and her life. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-il, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is now engaged in an all out attempt to use the war for his latest perverted agenda. Den and Hogge become immersed with other unknown undercover players trying to stop the conflict from escalating before it kills millions of refugees caught between two armies, destroys the peace in Asia and revives what has been called "The Forgotten War."
