Synopsis
The year is 1992. The North Korean invasion has reached the suburbs of Seoul. Street by street the ROK army bleeds to hold a line that bends but refuses to break. As SCUD missiles rain down on the capital and the dead pile up faster than they can be counted, the Soviet Pacific Fleet has entered the fight, threatening to crack the allied position wide open. The war is no longer just North versus South. From the cockpits of overworked F-4 Phantoms to the rain-soaked ruins where exhausted infantry fight for every city block, from the decks of Soviet warships closing on the Korean shore to the corridors of power where generals and presidents weigh the cost of a counteroffensive, Monsoon Fire plunges deep into the grinding, widening catastrophe of World War III in the Pacific. The allies need to strike back — but first, they have to survive.
