THE ZONE 4 • SKY STRIKE

A NATO air assault hurtles towards a vital Warsaw Pact rail junction and marshalling yard. Betrayed, waiting for them is a mass of enemy anti-aircraft guns and missiles. The battle becomes one of survival as Major Revells’ men have to fight their way home across the Zone.

SYNOPSIS

Aboard helicopter transports bristling with weaponry and with a powerful escort of gunships, an airborne NATO assault group crosses the Zone to attack and destroy a Warsaw Pact rail junction and marshalling yard. But the attack force has been betrayed and the already powerful anti-aircraft defences have been massively reinforced. Faced with batteries of missiles, massed cannons and Shilka flak tanks the attack is scattered and brutally clawed from the sky. Surviving the slaughter Revells’ Special Combat Force finds itself deep inside enemy territory and has to engage in a running battle to carve a path through the enemy forces. Using stolen enemy vehicles they have to fight every inch of the way to return to the NATO lines.

THE ZONE 4 • SKY STRIKE

The original and second publication of THE ZONE Series was published by NEL (New English Library) in November 1980.  The cover art was created by July 1981. Five of THE ZONE novels produced by NEL were to carry this unique artwork accompanied by a Cover Illustration Synopsis of the featured equipment. This style set THE ZONE apart but was not continued when future issues of THE ZONE were printed in the USA by Zebra Books.
