Synopsis

From the New York Times Best-Selling Author of DEFCON One

“Weber's expertise on U.S. military matters is high, and his depiction of Chinese motives and methods well above the level of Yellow Peril fantasies. A solid accomplishment for thriller readers.”—Library Journal

In the skies above the Pacific, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 from the USS Abraham Lincoln blows up.  The question is why? But answers aren’t easy to find.

When another jet mysteriously explodes in midair, the president can no longer ignore reality: U.S. forces are under attack.  But by whom?

While the military and intelligence communities race for answers, the president calls on ex-CIA operatives and former military pilots Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan to launch their own investigation.  An investigation that takes some shocking turns as they uncover a conspiracy that seems to lead directly to the heart of China . . .

 “Thanks be to the book-writing gods; we have a writer who does what writers are supposed to do—tell a story.”—The Wichita Eagle

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

In a page-turning techno-thriller from start to cliff-hanging finish, bestselling author Joe Weber delivers a gripping plot that could have been torn from tomorrow’s headlines.

During routine night operations off Southern California, an F/A-18 from the USS Abraham Lincoln is inexplicably blown from the sky. The Pentagon wants to throw a blanket over the incident, but then another navy fighter jet is mysteriously destroyed in midair. The president orders an investigation to find out who is responsible for the attacks–and why. Tagged for the job: ex-CIA operatives and former military pilots Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan.

As Dalton and Sullivan proceed, they are surprised to learn that the loss of the navy jets is just the latest in a series of seemingly unrelated and previously unexplained losses of American combat aircraft. Yet their investigation soon uncovers a deadly conspiracy that seems to lead directly to the heart of Beijing.
