Thriller Military | Thriller Spy
From a New York Times bestselling author,
astronaut, and fighter pilot comes a "full-throttle,
adrenaline-laced espionage page-turner" (Jack Carr, New
York Times bestselling author) and Cold War
thriller perfect for fans of Top Gun and The
Hunt for Red October.
Israel, October 1973. As the Yom Kippur War flares
into life, a state-of-the-art Soviet MiG fighter plane
plummets to an unexpected landing. NASA Flight Controller
and former US test pilot Kaz Zemeckis watches from the
ground—unaware that its arrival will pull him into a
high-stakes game of spies, lies, and secrets that hold the
key to Cold War air and space supremacy.
For
within that plane is a Soviet pilot pleading to defect,
offering a prize beyond value: the workings of the Soviets'
mythical "Foxbat" MiG-25, the fastest, highest-flying
fighter plane in the world. But trusting him is risky, and
Kaz must tread a careful line. As Kaz accompanies the
defector into the United States, to the military’s
most secret test site, he must hope that, with skill and
cunning, the game plays out his way.
Rich
with insider detail and political intrigue drawn from real
events, The Defector is a propulsive thriller from
a growing master of the genre, filled with the nerve-
shredding rush of aerial combat as it could only be told by
one of the world's best fighter pilots.
