For the first time in the US, this timeless cat-and-mouse classic from the Edgar Award-winning "genius" examines political tensions in an era of espionage (Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series). In Europe, the Americans are pulling out their troops in a tide of isolationism. Britain, torn between loyalties to America and the continent, is caught in the middle. Across the pond, a space shuttle crashes on landing, killing all but one of the crew on board: A British citizen named Mike Dreyfuss, who will become vilified by the US press and protesters. Halfway across the world, at English ground control headquarters, Martin Hepton watches with dismay as they lose contact with the most advanced satellite in Europe. When a colleague who suspects something strange disappears, Hepton realizes there is much more at stake than anyone knows -- and many more people on his trail than he can possibly evade . . .

In 1968, the battle in the skies over North Vietnam was a culmination of training, equipment, skill, and mostly luck. Both on the part of Navy Lt. Tony Nargi, his wingman, and the pilots in the MiGs. The terror in the skies would last but a moment. The thrill would last a lifetime. The addiction to the adrenaline of the uncertainty of life and death would send Tony on a trajectory he'd never imagine himself. Life had a few surprises ahead for Lt. Tony Nargi, but first he had to deal with the MiG 21 in his sights... In the ensuing years, he would face a total destruction of his life ending in a Federal Prison sentence. But the dedicated work of a Federal Agent named Russ Protentis would open an opportunity for Tony Nargi to redeem himself, and win a major victory in the war on drugs. This is their story.
