Homecoming: The Kirov series comes home to its roots as it now enters its final season with Volume 1, Homecoming.

The long struggle of the Second World War has ended. Fedorov and Karpov shift home, before the accident that sent Kirov hurtling through time. Their mission: prevent the ship from ever shifting back! As the Kirov Series returns to its roots, they struggle in the shadow of the impending war that now threatens to devour the world with atomic fire. That war becomes the focus of this, the final season of the Kirov Series. In the volumes ahead, the fate of all the other characters in the story will be resolved: Elena Fairchild, Gordon MacRae and Mack Morgan on the Argos Fire, Captain Ivan Gromyko aboard Kazan, Brigadier Berg’s lost German Brigade, Kinlan and Reeves with the British 7th Armored, Admiral Kita’s dwindling modern day task force in the Pacific, and both Ivan Volkov and Tyrenkov. They will all find a way to intersect here in the year 2021.

This time, the war begins in the frigid waters of the Norwegian Sea, when a mysterious order is received by the Captain of a stealthy British sub, and lights the fuse on the world’s next great conflagration. Join Admiral Volsky, Vladimir Karpov, Anton Fedorov, and all the officers and crew of the mighty Kirov as the ship sails into the cold deadly waters of World War Three!

Kill Chain: As the Russian Operation Blizzard surges into the North Cape, Kirov leads the North Fleet into the first major engagement of the next war, the Battle of the Denmark Strait. The tension mounts as two American carrier strike groups continue to advance, and Captain Karpov must use both skill and guile to seize control of the engagement and coordinate his attack with a massive raid by the Russian Backfire bomber squadrons from the Kola Peninsula. Relying on his superb long range missiles, Karpov must advance into the lion’s den to get the bulk of his task force into position to attack. But the American planes are already in the skies, bringing their own wrath to face the Russian threat.

At the same time, a deadly game of cat and mouse is underway beneath the sea, and the Russian special purpose submarine Belgorod attempts to break out into the Atlantic with the most deadly torpedoes ever made--each carrying massive nuclear warheads.

The greatest naval battle since the Second World War is about to begin, and the cost in both steel and blood will be high.

Twilight's End: When the petty squabble over the Diaoyutai/Senkaku Islands escalates, China moves to reclaim its long lost province of Taiwan, and the East Wind blows, hard and cruel. Hundreds of Dong Feng ballistic missiles pummel Taiwan, as the Chinese Navy deploys to engage its wayward son and clear the way for a big amphibious operation. Rushing to the scene from its forward base at Yokosuka, US Carrier Strike Group Carl Vinson moves to challenge the Dragon and reassert Pax Americana, which has ruled the Pacific for 80 years.
Meanwhile, the Persian Gulf erupts when Iran poses a major threat to vital oil production facilities and all the US has ready to stand that watch is the “Gator Navy” of the USMC. Action spills into the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean, even as the war careens towards a major confrontation in the Pacific. Now Russia’s newest Admiral, Vladimir Karpov, prepares to join the battle with a heavily reinforced Russian Pacific Fleet.

Resurgent: After stunning setbacks in the Pacific, the US Navy regroups and again braves the threat of China’s ballistic missiles. As the Chinese plan a strategy of maritime isolation around Taiwan, the resurgent USN boldly challenges their operations northeast of Taipei on the Japanese island of Yonaguni.

In the South China Sea, Argos Fire leads the Gator Navy on a campaign to neutralize reef island outposts and gain control of the Spratley Island region, China’s new maritime province of Sansha. They soon face strong opposition from powerful task forces built around the new carrier Taifeng.

In the meantime, Admiral Karpov leads the Russian Pacific Fleet on two major sorties to threaten the flank of US naval operations. Kirov and company are given free rein to begin commerce raiding in the Pacific. As tensions rise in Korea, China’s North Seas Fleet fights for control of the Yellow Sea. With war in Korea almost certain, Karpov learns a vital task force carrying the US 25th Infantry Division is now at sea, and sets out to make sure it never reaches Japan.

Deep Blue: As they prepare to sortie out into the deep blue Pacific, Fedorov learns that several crewmen have gone missing, an eerie omen of the strange effects he witnessed before. Worried that the ship is again “phasing,” he and Karpov must find a way to stabilize Kirov and prevent any further shifts.

Now China plays its Korea card, and the war erupts along the DMZ to open a dangerous new front. The US races to move much needed reinforcements to Korea, but Karpov has been ordered to interdict those sealifts with his powerful Russian Pacific Fleet. Yet now he learns the true meaning of a blue water navy, confronting the undisputed masters of the Deep Blue in waters they have dominated for the last 80 years. Kirov and company will soon face a new crisis, and catch a haunting glimpse of the future they shaped with their many interventions in the past. It will lead them to a place or time they never thought they would see where the war wears a strange new face.

Ice War: Volume VI in the Next War segment of the long Kirov Saga now takes the war in 2021 to the frozen north. A mystery emerges from the Sea of Okhotsk, and US intelligence satellites slowly unveil the truth—the Russian Pacific Fleet has survived the eruption of the Demon Volcano. Now a harrowing sea chase begins when Karpov is ordered to bring the Pacific Fleet home to Severomorsk. As battle heats up the cold waters of the Bering Sea, the ground war erupts in the frozen north when NATO moves to liberate the North Cape and Svalbard. Karpov must now race west through the Northern Route to hold the line, and prevent NATO forces from penetrating the Barents Sea. Yet to do so, he must engage three NATO Carrier Strike Groups in some of the biggest naval battles of the war. Action on, under, and above the cold northern seas, as the Ice War fires up the arctic! In the middle of it all, Tyrenkov makes a startling proposal as he schemes to find a way for Russia to prevail.

Eagle Rising: Volume VII in the Next War segment of the long Kirov Saga now takes the war in 2021 to Europe as NATO begins its long awaited counteroffensive to liberate the Baltic States. Operation Eagle Rising begins with a bold stroke to cut off the Russian salient of Kaliningrad, and liberate Kaunas and Vilnius in Lithuania. As the American divisions push through the Suwalki Gap, strong German and British contingents under Brigadiers Berg and Kinlan are on their left, fighting their way across the Neman River. Eventually, the plan is to drive north to Riga, the capital of Latvia, and cross the Daugava River. Can the vaunted Russian Army stop them while also fighting a dramatic battle for control of Kharkov in the Ukraine?
Meanwhile, Kirov moves east towards a meeting with Tyrenkov at the Northern Shamrock, only to find the Grey Wolves in a daunting and perplexing encounter when they reach that far flung Arctic outpost. They soon realize things are terribly wrong....

Tangent Fire: Volume VIII in the Next War segment of the Kirov Series sees the war in 2021 end in a nuclear nightmare, but Kirov, with Tyrenkov aboard, has escaped to the future they helped to shape in 2025. Now all the major players in the story begin to arrive, Kirov, Kazan, and Argos Fire coming forward from 1945. Karpov, the Siberian, begins his operation to liberate the port of Vladivostok, and Kirov once again enters the Sea of Japan to confront the Chinese Navy. But the fire of war begins to spin off wild tangents, as China launches Operation Wildfire in the Med to close the Western shipping lanes and seal off the Suez Canal. Argos Fire is soon caught up in the fighting, which sweeps across the “Middle Sea” from Gibraltar to Egypt when the Chinese begin a dangerous game of commerce raiding. As the tankers burn, a much stronger Royal Navy in 2025 stands to, as an enemy fleet bears down on the long time British bastion of Malta. Yet Elena Fairchild and the doughty Captain MacRae will soon have more things to worry about than they imagined.
