THE STRIKEMASTERS ARE TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY-WITH OR WITHOUT
BACKUP. The men of the 201st Special Operations Wing have gone
rogue, tackling dangerous missions beyond the scope of U.S. law.
With stealth aircraft and ultra high-tech fighting vehicles, this
elite team is going after the agents of genocide in Africa-while
their own government calls them criminals. Their former commander,
Colonel Doug Newman, has been taking the heat for them. Now the
government needs their help. A gang of terrorists have been causing
trouble, searching for a rare form of yellowcake uranium. In
exchange for tracking down the hooligans, the U.S. government will
dismiss the Strikemasters' previous "crimes." But the terrorists'
trail might lead right back to the United States...
The most technically-advanced, armed cargo plane ever created has
vanished and a specialized team of elite helicopter pilots has been
sent into Saudi Arabia to retrieve it. They are the Chopper Ops,
and they have only one chance to succeed.
YOU CAN'T STOP WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE... A NEW KIND OF WAR NEEDS A NEW
KIND OF WEAPON-AND A NEW BREED OF WARRIOR. Deep in the Nevada
desert, the latest evolution in modern warfare is being tested. The
201st Special Operations Wing is home to the new Strikemasters-C-17
transport planes converted into stealth-skinned airborne arsenals.
Manned by ace pilots and technicians, and carrying a lethal
complement of Abrams tanks, all-terrain fighting vehicles, combat
helicopters, and boots-on-the-ground troopers, the Strikemasters
are the ultimate fast-moving, hard-hitting weapon. And they are
about to test their limits. A group of al Qaeda marauders has
mercilessly destroyed a "forbidden" school for girls in the lawless
mountains of Pakistan and abducted the aid workers. They plan to
kill their hostages and sell the footage to the highest bidder. In
their mountain stronghold, the captors think they are safe from any
attack. The Strikemasters are about to prove them wrong...
The year is 7202 A.D. Evolving from genetic manipulation and
virtually immortal, the Specials wielded their repressive power
over a far-flung empire for nearly two thousand years. Until one
man-a man of mystery, a gifted military strategist, a superb pilot,
a charismatic leader-dared to raise the flag of rebellion. That man
is Hawk Hunter. In the middle of a fierce battle with the Imperial
forces, Hunter suddenly finds himself alone. His badly-damaged
fleet has vanished-gone through a portal to another dimension. They
can lay low, rest, make repairs, and gain strength for their next
assault. But the enemy also finds the portal-and it leads them to a
different dimension where they discover powerful and deadly new
allies. Now Hunter must undertake his own Interdimensional search
for support. Because when the portal reopens, the battle that
follows could destroy not only the rebels and the Empire, but also
the entire galaxy. "In Starhawk, Mack Maloney has created a

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.
Searching for the mythical Home Planets, renegade Imperial pilot
Hawk Hunter goes AWOL, journeying across the galaxy to find Planet
America, the possible birthplace of humankind, but he soon
discovers that an alien armada has targeted the world for
destruction and that it is up to him to stop the disaster. "In
Starhawk, Mack Maloney has created a Champion of Justice." -Midwest

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
7205 A.D. After almost seven centuries of iron-fisted rule, the
Fourth Galactic Empire is in the midst of catastrophic warfare
following a rebel attack led by its sworn foe-that charismatic
enigma, gifted strategist, and pilot named Hawk Hunter. After
rebels unexpectedly defeat the Fourth Galactic Empire's Rapid
Engagement Fleet, Hawk Hunter's "special help" is suspected. To
destroy the rebels, the Empire's storm troopers are going to seize
the source that generates all power in the galaxy-a move that will
make them invincible and cost trillions of lives. To prevent that,
Hawk must undertake his most hazardous mission ever: to seek out
the one man who can stop the Empire-before it starts the worst Dark
Age in history... "In Starhawk, Mack Maloney has created a Champion
of Justice." -Midwest Book Review
After the U.S. space shuttle captures a secret spy satellite, it
makes a forced landing in China. The U.S. is desperate to get the
shuttle back, but the operation must be quiet. The only answer is
the Chopper Ops team. But they'll have to finish the job-before it
finishes them.
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.
IN 1947, THE U.S. ARMY ANNOUNCED THE RECOVERY OF A FLYING SAUCER
NEAR ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO-AND THEN DENIED IT. THE WORLD WAS LEFT TO
WONDER. AND THEN THE WORLD FORGOT... Someone was killing America's
top gun fighter pilots. The war games fought between "Friendly" and
"Aggressor" forces high above an ultra-secret electronic
battlefield in the American southwest were meant to simulate
combat-yet American pilots were suddenly being lost at an alarming
rate to real missiles and bullets. The Cold War was supposedly
over. Or was it? USAF Colonel Ryder Long was a fearless right-stuff
pilot who believed that rules were made to be broken. His
assignment from the highest officials in the United States
intelligence services meant breaking every rule in the book: take
to the skies in his F-15X Strike Eagle jet on a do-or-die mission
against the mysterious Aggressors who held the key to the deadly
war games-and the long-forgotten Roswell Incident. For Ryder Long
it could only end with the survival of a threatened America... or
death in the bloody skies over the high-tech battlefield called...
WAR HEAVEN.
THE WARLORD OF A REMOTE MOUNTAIN KINGDOM HAS A DIRTY LITTLE
SECRET-A NUCLEAR DEVICE THAT WILL BRING CHINESE, SOVIET AND
AMERICAN LEADERS TO THEIR KNEES-AND TURN THE WORLD INTO A LIFELESS
DESERT... Led by a maverick flyer named Ryder Long who believes all
rules are made to be broken, a handful of misfits, rebels and
flying fools make up the mission that alone can stop the mysterious
twentieth-century warlord, Colonel Toon, in his Southeast Asian
fortress. The target of Long's mission, called Thunder Alley, has
never been penetrated by hostile forces; it is a graveyard of the
best and the bravest. As Ryder Long prepares his mission, time is
running out-the deadline for the death of the world approaches.

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.
Peace on Earth. Good will towards men. Not likely... The Christmas
holidays are anything but merry after a group of renegade Soviets
hijack a rusting relic of the old Northern Fleet-with a cargo of
nuclear warheads. Only the men of Chopper Ops stand between them
and worldwide nuclear holocaust...
7200 Anno Domini. Earth is the center of a vast galactic empire-a
militaristic state governed by stern repression. The Specials, an
extended family that has wielded power for nearly two thousand
years, control the galaxy with iron-fisted zeal. After generations
of genetic manipulation they are virtually immortal-as is their
rule. On an isolated planet, on the very fringe of the galaxy,
lives a pilot named Hawk Hunter. He designs his own ships, using
strange technology-but he cannot explain his abilities or his
knowledge. His past is a mystery, even to himself.. But now Hawk's
talents have been discovered. And in the Earth Race-a
state-sponsored gladiatorial contest that pits pilot against pilot,
and earns both winner and sponsor unimaginable wealth-he will not
only test the limits of his endurance, but begin to learn the truth
of his identity..
Flying over a shattered nation, ace pilot Hawk Hunter comes face to
face with his greatest enemy The United States may have defeated
the Soviet Union in the Battle for Western Europe, but the Russians
ended World War III with a nuclear sneak attack that shattered
America into a collection of warring states dominated by criminals,
fascists, and pirates. Air power rules all in the New Order, and
pilots like Hawk Hunter are the only form of law. One of the
most decorated pilots of the old US Air Force, he flies for the
Pacific American Air Corps, a loose group of flyboys who have taken
it upon themselves to safeguard what remains of US borders. Flying
his U-2 over the frozen tundra late one night, Hunter detects
something on his infrared camera: fifty jet fighters, accompanied
by a full-scale invasion force. And their sides bear the emblem
that frightens him most: the red star of the Soviet Union. World
War IV is about to begin. The Circle War is the second book
of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Lucifer
Crusade.

The first book in the bestselling, action-packed Wingman Series:
With America in ashes, and lawlessness threatening to rule land,
air, and sea, one pilot stands poised to pull his nation back from
the brink of all-out anarchy The Big War started in Western Europe
with a Soviet nerve gas attack that laid waste to France, Germany,
and Spain. The world’s democracies fought back, and pilots like
Hawk Hunter led the charge—tearing across the flaming wreckage of
the continent at supersonic speeds. They pushed the Russians back
and just when victory was in sight, a traitor at the highest level
of government turned off America’s missile defense system, and
Soviet nukes rained from the sky. Two years after the nuclear
holocaust, Hunter gets a message to report to his old commander.
America is in pieces: Pirates rule the skies, and an airborne
armada is plotting to attack Football City (formerly known as St.
Louis). The armada is made up of criminals flying state-of-the-art
jets, and even though the government can only offer Hunter his old
F-16, he will do whatever it takes to reclaim his ravaged
homeland. Wingman is the first book of the Wingman series,
which also includes The Circle War and The Lucifer Crusade.
