Star Venture by Don Pendleton
The United States becomes a sitting duck when the space shuttle Venture Star is hijacked by the Chinese and put to work deploying deep space nukes capable of striking anywhere in the world. Stony Man's mission is twofold and next to impossible: while Phoenix Force launches a raid to recover Venture Star in the Gobi desert, Able Team takes Armageddon to space, where the crack commandos engage in the ultimate star wars battle to destroy the nukes aimed at America's heart. Failure is not an option.
