Pacific Crucible

DMZ Thunder あらすじ・解説

The Year is 1992. Across the globe, the Cold War has turned hot.

War simmers in the Balkans and now the Korean peninsula stands on the brink. Along the minefields and razor wire of the DMZ, conscripts patrol a border that could ignite at any moment while officers and politicians in Pyongyang and Seoul prepare for the inevitable.

When tensions spike and miscalculation threatens to shatter the fragile balance, Korea may once again become the flashpoint of a war between superpowers.

DMZ Thunder is the explosive first installment in the Pacific Crucible series—set in the same alternate 1992 timeline as the Iron Crucible saga.

From the forests of the DMZ to the corridors of power in Pyongyang and Moscow, from Seoul's bustling streets to the decks of Soviet warships, DMZ Thunder delivers ground-level combat, high-level intrigue, and the gathering storm of World War III in the Pacific.
