An electrifyingly realistic tale of international terrorism and American triumph, packed with deadly intrigue, Beltway power plays, and high-flying adventure. Kent Rathman, a.k.a."Rat," works in the shadows of several government branches as a member of the Navy's secret counterterrorism team. His mission is to uncover a plot to assassinate an American hero who flies with the historic Blue Angels. Ismael Nezzar, an Algerian with connections to a group of Islamic radicals, is determined to avenge the death of his brother, who was shot down by F/A-18 pilot Lieutenant Ed Stovic during a dramatic, high-stakes dogfight.
To save Stovic, and his country, Rat must devise a brilliant counterstrike -- a mission in which failure means certain death.
"Shoot-'em-down combat thrills -- sensational in-the-cockpit realism, and the stirring flyboy spirit that puts Huston in the same firmament with Dean Koontz and Dale Brown"
KIRKUS REVIEWS "Huston combines high tech, high adventure, and high style"
