Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

As the world has changed over the last thirty to forty years, some
things haven't, human greed, the desire for power and to rule
others. Others have motives based on a religious fundamentalist
belief in how the world and civilization should act and behave. The
changing times often bring about strange alliances that under
normal circumstances would be impossible to fathom. Nothing was
further from the ideal of drug lords and cartels collaborating with
religious fundamentalists to bring down the world and create a new
one in their image. Each of the factions had goals, a purpose and a
plan for what the world would become. The United States military
had again, been stripped bare as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
were behind them. It was made clear by those in power, America's
days as the worlds' police officer was done. The United Nations had
to step up and do its job. The United States would still have a
force but now with less personnel, less resources and a
considerably smaller budget. In spite of that, somehow the
requirements, field operations and intelligence gathering hadn't
changed. The CIA had its problems and the once strong allies of
America had grown to trust the US less than ever before. "Victor
felt an adrenaline rush as his aircraft streaked across the
international border at tree-top level, braving air defense
batteries that were not there, in a fighter that was not armed. He
had not been told that all the appropriate Syrians had been paid
generous fees to look the other way. The incorrupt had been dealt
with even less expensively." A conspiracy to cripple western
commerce, a plot to end the war on drugs, and an unholy alliance
between Islamic fundamentalists and Colombian drug lords. Sworn
enemies embracing the age-old wisdom that, "the enemy of my enemy
is my friend." "The jets were swallowed up by the gluttonous hold
of the Norwegian Wood... Victor wondered how many fighters were
already down there as he watched them arrange his plane to fill the
last empty space... by morning, the Norwegian Wood and her cargo of
MiGs would be safely on their way to the open sea." Captains Becky
Whitney United States Air Force and Captain Jim Kelly, United
States Army would have to work at a feverish pace, and enlist all
the help they could get, to unravel the mysteries shrouding the
disappearance of so many combat aircraft. Their adventure would
take them from the Pentagon to the sea and jungle terrain of
Central America and they would meet people whose lives along with
their own, would be changed forever. Who was moving them, where
were they going, and what were they planning to do? CRACK MiG is a
refeshingly original idea that Steve kicked around for 20 years,
and he plot line is just as fresh and relevant today as it was when
it first inspired Steve to create the characters that rise from
it's pages. The collaboration of ideas and style that Steve and
Alex shared in bringing the story to readers was a pleasant
adventure for two old friends, whose love of a good story is just
as deep as their love for the country they served to defend.
