Synopsis

When the F-14 Tomcat of the only female flier in Punk's training class rolls wildly during a hop, nearly causing a midair collision, Punk has trouble believing her claim that a malfunction in the cockpit was responsible. When a similar accident claims the life of one of his fellow trainers, Punk suspects a cover-up involving the use of faulty parts. But no sooner does he bring on the heat with his allegations that a far more important crisis calls Punk's squadron into active duty. This time, it is not a training drill … it's America's next war.

Goodreads review by Tracey on October 02, 2022

Good as the first - you bet. Books of this genre can do one of two things. 1. They can baffle the reader with technology and tactics and just word these up to carry us through the read or 2. They can assume we (the readers) will ‘never understand’ and just talk about the ‘results’. Mr Carroll actual......more

I devoured this book. This was an excellent read, full of technical details and beautifully painted scenes. I thought this might be about a grown up CAPT Punk leading an Air Wing.... but nope, the word "wing" refers female pilot "Muddy" flying on his wing as his wingman...or is it wingperson? Good s......more

Great story. For whatever reason, I wasn't thrilled with Punk's character at the start even though I knew of him from the prior book in the series. But then Punk's character and the story became really enjoyable as he started training the new pilots. Once the pilots start their aircraft carrier land......more

Most of this book revolves around the fighter pilot training pipeline, the last part brings us to the 9/11 events.
