The book that introduced millions of readers to Jake Grafton. A smash bestseller, Coonts’s explosive Vietnam novel captures carrier combat with unparalleled authenticity. An instant classic the start of an amazing series.

Yet he straps himself into a cockpit every day. “Extraordinary!”— Tom Clancy Then a bullet kills his bombardier while they’re hitting another ‘suspected’ truck depot. Jake wonders what his friend died for—and why? Hitting pointless targets selected by men piloting desks just doesn’t make sense. Maybe it’s time to do something worthwhile. Something that will make a difference… “Superbly written.” — Washington Times Jake and his new bombardier, ice-cold Tiger Cole, are going to pick their own target and hit the enemy where it hurts. But to get there and back in one piece is going to take a lot of nerve, even more skill, and an incredible amount of raw courage. Before it’s over, they’re going to fly into hell. “Coonts sets the bar for military adventure fiction, and the Grafton novels remain the genre’s gold standard.” — Tom Clancy MORE PRAISE FOR THE JAKE GRAFTON SERIES “Jake Grafton is one of thriller fiction’s most compelling heroes—bold, human, and unforgettable.” — The New York Times “A landmark military-thriller series: authentic, tightly plotted, and relentlessly exciting.” — Publishers Weekly “Coonts’s mastery of aviation action and geopolitical tension finds its fullest expression in the Grafton novels.” — Booklist “Razor-sharp storytelling with the authority of lived experience—Grafton feels real, and so do the stakes.” — Library Journal “The Jake Grafton books deliver everything readers crave: high drama, moral complexity, and white-knuckle suspense.” — The Washington Post
