"Air Force Captain Patrick McClanahan is one of the best navigators in the business, but he's thinking about quitting and running the family business, and getting married...But when a reconnaissance jet is mysteriously downed near the Soviet coast, McClanahan finds himself in the middle of one of the most volatile political and military disputes to date. As he helps find and destroy what caused this mayhem, Patrick finds there is much more at stake on this mission, militarily as well as personally...All aerial-thriler fans must read this. Brown is great."
