This book kept my attention from the first few moments. Written in a heroic, yet grounded in reality style, the author spins a tale that keeps its feet on the ground. The characters are larger than life, but are not portrayed as better than those who don’t have the privilege of flying high performance aircraft. He puts out the welcome mat into the ready room where all who venture there are invited in with warmth. Great stuff and I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the trilogy. Thanks, Ward.
