His plan is diabolical in nature and involves America’s own Cybernetic Infantry Devices, which are robotic super soldiers with immense firepower reverse-engineered by the Russians. Now with the purchase of the freight company, the Russians will smuggle these robots into America in order to do a retaliatory strike. The protagonist, Patrick McLanahan, learns of Russia’s diabolical plan and is determined to quell the threat with the help of several Eastern European states. However, the American administration doesn’t believe that the Russians are capable of mounting such a strike and therefore tries to hamper McLanahan’s efforts to keep the country safe.
