About this audiobook
For a moment Wilson froze and looked at the white-helmeted pilot who sat high on the nose of the colossal fighter. Across the small void, he saw the pilot's eyes peer over his mask. Dark, chilling eyes . . .
Wilson kicked right rudder to slide closer and jam any chance for a bandit gunshot. When the bandit pulled all the way over, almost on its back but in control, he cursed in frustration at what he knew was coming next. The hostile fighter reversed over the top in a negative-g maneuver, his nose tracking down on Wilson like a falling sledgehammer in slow motion. Horrified, Wilson realized he faced an imminent snapshot. With the little air speed he had, he inverted his Hornet to avoid the attack.
His aircraft still rolling, Wilson saw that the monster had another weapon at its disposal . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such an amazing insight to the life of naval pilots! Loved the well described maneuvers, really easy to picture the actions of the characters
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book. The author was a former Navy fighter pilot, and he infused every page with details that make you feel like you are actually observing a real carrier fighter squadron. There are some tropes, especially the jerk XO who is terrible and a jerk just because. But that is just a minor part of the story. Some of the writing is downright cinematic, especially the opening sequence which will have you on the edge of your seat. Definitely check it out. This audiobook does seem to clip the end off of every chapter. The last 1 or two words seems to be cut off. Really weird, but didn't really impact my experience listening.
