Set during the turbulent era of the Vietnam War, "Counters" is a
quirky, thrilling story of air combat and of the young fighter
pilots who blend the harsh reality of war with youth's untamed
urges.
As the pilot of a sleek F-4C Phantom II, self-doubting
Lieutenant Steve Mylder fights for his life in the skies above
Vietnam in 1967 but battles for his soul against the Red Baron of
his imagination. His cocky friend Avery-womanizer and master of the
art of combat seduction-thunders fifty feet over a North Vietnamese
beach, looks down, locks eyes with an improbable woman, and falls
into hopeless love.
Steve and Avery count their missions, hoping against the odds
that they'll make it back home alive instead of in a body bag. But
liberating the recklessness in their souls is sometimes the only
way to deal with the unknown, and the two friends soon realize that
growing up is a lot harder than they thought.
In "Counters," humor and whimsy counteract with authentic
details of air combat brought to life by former air force pilot
Tony Taylor, illuminating a brooding yet fanciful look at the
hormones and "warmones" that impel young men to war and
stupidity.
