As powerful men in Washington push hard to approve funding for the Next-Generation Fighter Bomber, a controversial “miracle” war machine with a $300 billion price tag, a savage terror bombing levels an aircraft research facility in France. The loss of lives is staggering — and retribution begins even before the guilty are clearly identified.
Lt. Col. John Reynolds struggles to remain an honorable man and a loyal soldier, but soon starts questioning his faith in the military he serves. Suddenly, John Reynolds is on every player’s list of targets — and he doesn’t even know why.
From the Pentagon to the dark side of corporate America, Ralph Peters takes us on a swift, sinister, and hypnotic journey that turns today’s headlines into a timeless tale of greed, human folly...and the bitter price of honor.
"A blistering indictment of big-ticket military procurement corruption folded into a sleek, well-muscled thriller... Peters balances all this action and intrigue on a cast just big enough to keep the double-crosses spinning. The result is one of those rare thrillers that actually kills off its villains (and there are plenty) before they wear out their welcome."
