Skip O'Neill lies dying of leukemia in a New York hospital,
determined to live until the new millennium. His wasted body shows
scant evidence of the man he once was-an Air Force fighter pilot
and decorated combat veteran.
O'Neill's first assignment as a young lieutenant places him
among hard drinking World War II-and Korean War-era fighter pilots
who quickly teach him their ways. He almost washes out of pilot
training but is persistent and manages to graduate. In Vietnam, he
proves to be a skillful and courageous pilot who faces dangers of
all kinds with equanimity. But the greatest-and most deadly
danger-materializes years after O'Neill volunteers to be an
observer at an atomic test site.
In the end, O'Neill decides that when his time comes, he will
dash at it fearlessly. He anticipates being greeted by departed
friends-but what awaits him is something totally unexpected.
