Augustus 1990 Het leger van Saddam Hoessein trekt Kuweit binnen en stelt zich dreigend op aan de grens met Saudi-Arabië. De verenigde Staten reageren meteen en sturen vliegtuigen, manschappen, tanks en oorlogsbodems naar de Golf om de Saudi´s bij te staan. Voor het eerst sinds het debacle in Vietman staan ze weer op het punt betrokken te raken bij een gewapend comflict. En dit keer zijn ze vastberaden om te zegevieren. Aan het hoofd van de geallieerde luchtmacht in de Golfregio staat generaal Chuck Horner. Hij is een van de beste fighter pilots binnen de Amerikaanse luchtmacht. In Vietnam vloog hij de gevaarlijkste missies en nu ook nog is hij een klasse apart, zoals de veel jongere piloten in dogfights met hun commandant nogal eens moeten ervaren. Nu staat Horner voor de zwaarste opdracht uit zijn leven: Irak vanuit de lucht op de knieën dwingen. In Woestijnstorm vertellen Tom Clancy en luchtmachtgeneraal Chuck Horner het verhaal van de eerste ooklog die hoofdzakelijk vanuit de lucht werd gestreden; operatie Desert Storm. Het is een gedetailleerd en opwindend verslag van hoe oorlogen vandaag de dag gevoerd worden, compleet met de details zoals alleen zij die erbij zijn geweest kunnen geven.

Now, after three years in deep cover, and on the eve of his most spectacular success, Harry Latham has disappeared. Drew Latham, Special Officer for Consular Operations in Paris, is frantic to discover his older brother's fate. But when he receives the sudden good news that Harry has surfaced, gut-twisting doubts arise. Has Harry's cover been blown? And if so, why has the Brotherhood of the Watch let him live? For Harry Latham has emerged with an explosive list: the secret supporters of the movement, among them some of the highest-ranking officials in the United States and its allies, names synonymous with honorable service to their nations. It is a document that could topple governments - but is the list legitimate? Can Drew Latham trust his own brother?
