After a Navy pilot inexplicably loses control of his stealth fighter, he stumbles upon a global conspiracy, and embarks on a thrilling chase filled with espionage and betrayal.

"A high-octane and adrenaline-powered thriller... Strap in and hold on!" – Jack Carr, Former Navy SEAL sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece Terminal List series

TOP GUN instructor Colt Bancroft has just catapulted off the USS Abraham Lincoln, his F-35C Joint Strike Fighter trailing blue and yellow flame as he climbs into the night sky off the California coast.

When he is sent to investigate a series of mysterious lights floating dangerously close to his aircraft carrier, disaster strikes. His jet becomes unresponsive as it rolls inverted and enters a nosedive aimed right at the aircraft carrier's unsuspecting escort cruiser...

What follows is a tale of heroism and betrayal, spycraft and suspense, and aerial combat against an unexpected adversary.

To clear his name and unmask a traitor, Colt must survive a dangerous game of spy-vs-spy, where trusting the wrong person could cost him his life. To stop the enemy from hitting their ultimate target, Colt must use every ounce of his skill and training...and uncover the identity of the UNKNOWN RIDER.

From author Jack Stewart, a former US Navy Top Gun instructor pilot, comes an exhilarating military thriller that's packed with high-octane action and puts the reader behind the controls of a modern jet fighter. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown.

      Former Navy pilot Stewart fails to integrate his technical expertise with a satisfying narrative in this disappointing debut thriller. As Navy Lt. Colt “Mother” Bancroft pilots his stealth fighter jet off the coast of southern California on his way to investigate a group of unidentified aerial phenomena surrounding the USS Abraham Lincoln, the controls of his aircraft falter, first becoming unresponsive and then actively antagonistic, nearly causing him to crash into the ship. When technicians fail to pinpoint a problem with the plane, Colt downloads the maintenance records for his own investigation. The download flags the attention of Lance Corporal Adam Garett, a treasonous sailor aboard the Lincoln who organized the attack on Colt’s plane; Garrett informs his Chinese handler, Chen Liling, that Colt has compromising data that could threaten their mysterious mission. Then NCIS agent Emmy “Punky” King, who’s part of a joint NCIS/FBI operation to apprehend Garett and Chen, catches wind of the incident, and teams up with Colt to prevent another one. Stewart clearly knows his way around a jet—readers could take over the control stick on a stealth fighter with all the detail he provides—but he flounders when he leaves the cockpit, shuttling through a revolving door of forgettable supporting characters who still sport richer backstories than his heroes. This top gun adventure is strictly bottom-shelf. Agent: John Talbot, Talbot Fortune Agency.
