About this listen
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 listener behind the controls of a modern jet fighter. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown.

Daniel Petrovich, the most lethal operative created by the Department of Defense's Black Flagged Program, represents a new breed of covert operative. He wasn't recruited from Special Forces, law enforcement, or any of the alphabet agencies. Unlike most "heroes", there's no obvious black and white in Petrovich's world. He sees everything in gray - an uncompromising trait that will keep him alive long enough to pull off one of the biggest coups in covert military history. "Inception" is Daniel Petrovich's origin story.

Promising but unrealistic in spots.
I loved the story, but in no world would the heroes be applauded for how they acted. Too much "lone wolf-ing it". Purposely leaving cohorts in the dark so they can go at it alone. They made stopping the crisis 100 times more difficult had they not enlisted the help of others, especially Punky.
The performance was top notch. Ray Porter may be the best in the business. The meat and potatoes of the story, was great. Interesting and suspenseful. Had the heroes acted more realistically, would not have detracted from the story at all. We did not need lone wolfs to make this story work. The entire forces of the NCIS and Navy working together against the foe, would have been just as interesting and more believable.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
