Major Thomas "Apollo" Maxwell has spent his career preparing for the next war. As the executive officer of a Marine F-35B fighter squadron, Apollo is aboard the USS Helmand Province during a tense multinational exercise in the Bermuda Triangle. With Russian and Chinese forces pushing the world toward open conflict, every radar contact matters, every mistake carries diplomatic weight, and every pilot knows the next incident could be the spark for World War III. Then an unidentified craft appears inside the training area. It does not answer warnings.
It does not match any known aircraft. And within moments, friendly pilots are falling from the sky. Scrambled into the fight, Apollo finds himself alone against an enemy that defies his training and everything he thought he understood about modern warfare. What begins as a routine exercise becomes the incident that changes the world forever. The Helmand Province Incident is a military science fiction short story of air combat, esprit de corps, and the terrifying secrets held by our governments.
