Equal measures Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, and Jack Carr this well researched novel is one surprise twist after another written with an intensity and authority only possible from an author who has smelled the jet fuel and heard the bullets whizzing by in real life. Great characters, superb suspense, and a plot that keeps you guessing and wanting more.

Piloted by several fresh and original characters, Ryan Pote’s debut novel pushes the story’s airframe to its max in a series of rivet-busting plot twists more harrowing than an Immelmann turn in a helicopter.
