Synopsis

After a devastating Russian attack on the United States, a lone American fighter pilot is out for revenge—even as he evades every air force on earth.

When Soviet nukes destroyed the United States, Hawk Hunter took refuge in the only place he has ever felt safe: the sky. One of the finest fighter pilots of all time, he used his talents to found the Pacific American Air Corps (PAAC), a democratic counterweight to the corruption that dominates the rest of the country. Their first action was the Circle War: a Russian invasion led by the sinister terrorist Viktor Robotov. The PAAC expelled the Russians, but Robotov managed to escape. And the Wingman has taken up the pursuit. In a world where it's a crime to wave stars and stripes, Hunter paints his F-16 red, white, and blue. Pursued by every air force on Earth, he tears up the sky in search of revenge. There are hundreds of killers on his tail, but he has only one target—and Hunter never misses.

Good read if you like military aircraft It’s a really good read if you like military aircraft and post apocalyptic type stuff. My only complaint (and why it’s 4 stars and not 5) is that even though it’s fiction, some of the modifications made to the aircraft are just not possible and overly fictional......more

Goodreads review by Justin on December 08, 2024

This review comes after the third time I've read this book. For those new to the series, the United States and its NATO allies won against surprise attack by the Soviet Union in the early days of World War 3 in 1987 but lost the war because of a traitorous US Vice President. In the aftermath, the US......more

Goodreads review by Dan on December 25, 2013

I read this book about 8000 times as a kid, and seeing it on the shelf back home had to read it again. Almost the platonic ideal of pulp, I doubt more than ten pages goes by without an action scene, and stunningly not terrible. There's always a strange likability (which isn't really strange at all w......more
