600 YEARS IN THE FUTURE THE BATTLE FOR EARTH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN...
The egomaniacal alien Kilrathi have struck again, savaging a peaceful planet at the edge of space. And worse, they have captured a NAVCOM device that will lead them straight to Earth!
Chris Blair and his pal Maniac are “nuggets,” cadets fresh from the Academy. Their first ship, the Tiger Claw, has an awesome mission: Recover the NAVCOM and stop the Kilrathi at all costs.
But Blair's fighting wing - Earth's last hope - is seething with internal strife. For somewhere along the thin red line of heroes a traitor lurks!

Notes
Rather than use a movie screen capture, the German publisher has adopted the Baen-style cover layout (complete with an appropriate piece of slush artwork). It's also worth noting that the movie novel was the fifth Wing Commander book published in Germany (it was the eighth in the United States).

Dentro de 600 años, la batalla por la Tierra está a punto de iniciarse…
La raza alienígena de los kilrathi ha vuelto a atacar y ha arrasado un pacífico planeta en los límites del espacio conocido. Lo que es peor, han capturado un artefacto de la NAVCOM que les llevará directo a la Tierra.
Chris Blair y su compañero Maniac son cadetes recién salidos de la Academia. Su primera nave, el "Tiger Claw" tiene una misión tremenda: recuperar el NAVCOM y detener a los kilrathi cueste lo que cueste.
Pero el ala de caza de Blair -la última esperanza de la Tierra- está dividida por disensiones internas. Porque en algún lugar de esa pequeña fuerza, acecha un traidor. Este libro da origen a la película del mismo título.
