THE SECRET WARRIORS&mbdash;They were America's top test pilots-but the test they were making now would never make the headlines. They had to sneak America's newest air weapon-the F-86 Sabre Jet-into the skies over Korea to see if it stood up against the rampaging Red MiGs. The next ten days of secret combat would decide the fate of the war-while back in the States, a renegade U.S. general is secretly poised to begin spinning a web of intrigue that threatens to ground America's finest flying men forever. Flaming battle in the sky... cold-blooded treachery on the ground... and adventure that breaks through the thrill barrier in the greatest air epic of all... STORM BIRDS: THE GATHERING STORM.
The XF-86 Sabre jet. It was the most sophisticated air weapon ever developed-or so America hoped as the nation faced the chilling dawn of the Cold War. But first it had to be tested... in the perilous New Mexico proving grounds of the new age of atomic warfare... The men who flew the test missions were as fine-tuned as their machines-but it was the stuff they were made of that made the difference... in a savage secret war in the Korean skies and in-fighting on the ground that never made the headlines but made and changed history... You'll also want to read Desert Lightning, the first exciting novel in this rousing new series about U.S. test pilots, STORM BIRDS
It's the beginning of VE Day and the end of the war in Europe heralds a newer war with the Soviets. Monopolizing and exploiting German technological breakthroughs will be critical in the new cold war. A cadre of USAF officers gathers captured German rockets and planes in a remote desert base. They've got captured pilots and scientists as well-but can't trust them much. Instead, using ENIAC, they amass a small number of USAAF pilots with the idea of forming the first of America's jet fighter squadrons. Distrust of the Germans and their planes is only one the problems-our heroes must also contend with an insane chain of command determined to make the cranky planes work and fight in ways they were not designed to be used.
Nazi Germany has found the perfect assassin... on death row. A novel of war, madness-and murder... Willy Skass is a serial killer... ...and in the waning days of World War II, as Nazi Germany faces defeat, Skass faces his own execution inside the walls of a Berlin prison. But Skass is about to find himself a free man. Because the Nazis want the President of the United States dead. And they're hoping that practice makes the perfect assassin.
