Front

A thin red line of heroes stands
between Earth and annihilation!

Back

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!

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.
