General Fiction

At a top-secret Soviet base known only as Dragon Island, a long-forgotten relic of the Cold War, a weapon of terrible, destructive force, has just been re-activated...Dragon Island has been seized by a brutal terrorist force calling itself the Army of Thieves and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. There are no crack units close enough to get there in time to stop the Army setting off the weapon. Except, that is, for a small equipment-testing team up in the Arctic led by a Marine captain named Schofield, call-sign SCARECROW. It's not equipped to attack a fortified island held by a vicious army. But Scarecrow will lead the team in anyway, because someone has to.
