“The glimpses of aerial combat are brilliant” in this pulse-pounding RAF thriller, where it could be pilot error—or a sinister plot. (The Daily Telegraph). They’re supposed to be routine missions—but one by one, RAF Tempests are crashing in the midst of them. No one knows why, and the Accident Investigation Bureau is blaming pilot error. Suspicious of a cover-up, Flight Lieutenant Drew Miller, whose own friends have been among the fatalities, determines to find out more. He can’t help wondering if there’s a conspiracy afoot at the heart of the British military. It soon becomes clear that the key to the mystery is in the cockpit of the Tempest—but how can he unlock it without ending up dead himself? “The most explosive thriller I’ve read all year.” —Andy McNab “You can smell the hot oil, the sweat and the fear.” —The Daily Telegraph “Nichol’s writing skills are first rate, offering an insight into the world of fighter pilots in a far more accessible way than any work of non-fiction.”—Daily Express
