Publisher's summary

‘Excitement and fine writing - James Blatch’s Red Brunson is back." (Sir John Major KG CH)

In the dark recesses of a hangar, hidden deep in the Mojave desert, an experimental hypersonic aircraft sits in the shadows.

A secret to all but a handful of men, the XS-81 has a very specific task, ready to protect the United State’s military secrets from a new wave of Soviet satellites.

To crew a highly sensitive first mission, a young test pilot will sit alongside an Edwards AFB veteran. For Captain Red Brunson, this is a chance to make amends after a difficult start in his test flying career.

But at the heart of this top-secret project, is a traitor.

With the United States on the brink of a humiliating disaster, exposed by a deep cover spy, Red finds himself at the centre of an incident that could make the Bay of Pigs look like a picnic.

From James Blatch, a gripping Cold War thriller.

The technical knowledge about flying secret planes back in the days is impressive.

And yet the author doesn't loose the reader in too much technical jargon. This was an exciting and different read. I loved it!
