[Zare · Rating 4 out of 5]

Japanese surveillance plane gets shot down in the waters contested by China and Japan. Buck Danny and his team will soon find themselves in the middle fo the intrigue after it becomes obvious that shadowy criminal organization will give its best to start the conflict between Japan and China byt involving US carrier group in the conflict.

Again depictions of planes and procedures (while a little bit SF for this story due to advancements of air force technology) are excellent. Issues with high seas and carrier operations, problems with detecting stealth airplanes by carrier group and introduction of UCAVs and how they are operated, as is case with Buck Danny authors try to be as realistic as possible.

Do not ethat this is first part of the story. It concludes in "Defcon One".

Recommended to all fans of action, adventure and military aviation.

Daft characterisation but terrific scenes of aerial combat. Will appeal to fans of Biggles and Airboy.
