TOPGUN meets the West Wing in this modern-day, military techno-thriller set on the picturesque island of Nantucket.
Vacationing with his wife and two young children, US President Andrew Russell is enjoying a well-deserved break from Washington politics when Islamic militants launch a fierce assault. Faced with a major terrorist attack only a few miles from the US coast, Russell--an ex-naval aviator--responds with the same focus and determination that made him one of the best fighter pilots in the fleet. But will it be enough?
If you like Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and Brad Thor, you'll thoroughly enjoy this nonstop page-turner.
