Not my favorite Jake Grafton novel, but a good solid book none the same. The spy stuff, instead of the flight stuff, set me off a little because Jake was such a great aviator. Still a solid book, just don'w start the series with this book!

Weak book. Poorly developed characters. Horribly written female characters. Some characters know how to accomplish things that they would probably never know. This is a wannabe Tom Clancy book. However, while he really enjoys discussing the technical details of the aircraft, he doesn't have the same skill at making it accessible to the average reader. This book wasn't really awful but I am kind of bummed that I spent time to finish it. The few good moments were too few and far between to make it at least a fun read.

Two books in one. A spy thriller and a glimpse into shore duty at the puzzle palace- Pentagon. Jake gets the job as project manager for the Navy’s new replacement attack bird, the A-12, to replace the venerable A-6 Intruder. A high stress job where no good deed goes unpunished. He’s replacing an officer who was murdered- a murder that has been glossed over and kept secret. The FBI is involved. The agent in charge, Luis Camacho, counterespionage is a formidable presence and gets equal time in this narrative. A pretty good yarn where the reader is constantly questioning the allegiances and motivations of the characters.

If you have read and enjoyed any other Stephen Coonts books, I'd suggest giving this a go.
Whilst a bit dated (the A-12 progam was terminated years ago, and there is a quaint reference to 5.25 inch disks), this is still a pretty decent read for someone who wants to read a well written techno/espionage thriller.

My favorite in the series. Less technical more story. Kind of Tom Clancy-ish.
