Synopsis

It is one of the greatest conflicts — and a pivotal turning point — in history... the Chinese civil war. The outcome is in the hands of one American pilot, John Hampton, a man who couldn't care less... But just as this is a critical moment in time, so, too, is it about to become a defining moment in Hampton's life. What is it that makes him see that there are things, other than money, that are worth fighting — and maybe even dying — for? The surprising answers spur him to undertake the ultimate mission in Red Death Over China. War in the air and history in the making both come alive as the audio version of Red Death Over China follows one man's flight from cynicism to sacrifice.
