Wings of Fire

by Lawrence G. Green

Maverick USAF pilot Patrick McLanahan is caught up in explosive events in the Middle East in this new high-action adventure from the bestselling author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG and WARRIOR CLASS. * Patrick McLanahan flies into a storm of troubles in a spectacular new thriller, packed with high-adrenalin flying action and adventure. Ostracised by the government, the Air Force and even his own family, aerial combat expert Patrick McLanahan has reached rock bottom. Or so he thought. While testing cutting-edge weapons in the skies over Libya, he and his private team are drawn into a treacherous struggle between northern Africa's power-hungry rulers. In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must finally decide where his loyalties lie - and soon. For despite all the power at his command, it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan's final battle.
