The radio crackled.
“Scepter six five, this is Hellcat one,†a calm female voice said. “We’ve currently taken up position on your six, and we’re going to escort you to the nearest base. If anyone tries any fast ones, we won’t hesitate to shoot you down. Understand?â€
Vince Carlton is an F-22 pilot. He knows nothing about the B-1 bomber, other than the fact that he's sitting in its cockpit at 20,000 feet. Alone. He's just been intercepted by fighter jets, fighters that look unlike any he's ever seen. And they're threatening to shoot him down...
It started out a normal day for fighter pilots Martina Redrick and Rachel Ansetti; test flying the Hellcats, the Air Force's new Top Secret fighters. But when an armed B-1 makes a mayday call, Martina and Rachel are diverted to intercept. Once the bomber is on the ground, they make a shocking discovery. The crew is dead and at the controls is a young F-22 pilot, Vince Carlton. Carlton claims he snuck on board to prevent a shadowy terrorist organization from hijacking the bomber, but evidence suggests he was the culprit.
The attempted theft is only the beginning. A mysterious figure is sneaking around the Hellcats, trying to learn their secrets. The terrorists are now targeting Martina and Rachel, hoping to steal their jets instead. And when someone tries to kill Carlton, it becomes clear that things might not be what they seem.
Plunged into the midst of a deadly terror plot, it’s once again up to Martina and Rachel to stop a devastating attack on U.S. soil, and the fate of the nation rests in their hands.
Alive, exciting and rich with vivid, realistic aviation details that put the reader in the cockpit of a fighter jet, Firebird is a refreshing new take on the classic fast-paced action thriller.
