| :: <big>'''THEY PLANNED ON A ''NICE'' WAR . . .'''</big>
| |
| | |
| : There had been a century of peace, and the politicians of <br>
| |
| : Earth and its colonies were running on platforms of cutting <br>
| |
| : “wasteful” military spending―all while Earth's military tried to <br>
| |
| : keep aging and obsolete ships flying and battle-ready. And <br>
| |
| : while the swords rusted, war clouds gathered on the horizon. . . . <br>
| |
| : Contact had been made with the Kilrathi―a warrior race <br>
| |
| : feline in appearance and deadly in combat. Yet, even though <br>
| |
| : they had annihilated or enslaved scores of other races <br>
| |
| : throughout the galaxy, and had attacked human colonies on <br>
| |
| : the border worlds, the government was not taking them <br>
| |
| : seriously, thinking that the Fleet could handle them with ease. <br>
| |
| : Commander Winston Turner knew that the government was <br>
| |
| : moving toward a declaration of war against the Kilrathi in <br> | |
| : response to demands from the border worlds. He also knew <br>
| |
| : that the Fleet would be forced to operate under Plan Orange <br>
| |
| : Five: limited action and punitive responses only. He only hoped <br>
| |
| : that mankind would recognize its mistake before it was too <br>
| |
| : late.

| The German language edition, ''Wing Commander: Die Bedrohung'', was published by Bastei Lubbe Verlag in 2000. The alternate cover artwork manages to outdo even its American equivalent for 'What the heck?' factor. As of this writing, this was the last Wing Commander book ever published in any language.
