Summary: Former F-15E Jockey Loved it!
Review: As a former military aviator, I found the book to be fast paced, accurate and heart pounding in places. Mr. Stewart obviously loves the old "Bone" and has high opinions of it's capabilities. I echo other readers' sentiment that this is a tremendous effort out of the gate for this first time author. This book is Sierra Hotel!

Summary: Action packed, a great story and an awesome ending!
Review: I loved the book and couldn't put it down! Great job by Stewart. As a current Air Force Instructor Pilot with over 2,500 hours I can see the vivid realism and exciting details in the storyline (except for the F-16 intercept - but hey, there has to be a little bit of fantasy in everything). The other two books were awesome too (Kill Box and Third Consequence). I hope there are more to come. To the other reviewers of this book, you obviously haven't spent any time in a military jet and don't know what you are talking about. As for his writing style, it was perfectly in harmony with how pilots work, think and FLY! I also found it refreshing that there were some morals displayed by the hero and not the usual [physcial contact] on demand and bad language.

Summary: What happened to the war?
Review: This book had an interesting plot....but it was plagued by many grammatical and spelling errors. There were also other types of errors, such as saying that the U.S. has Typhoon-class subs, which are actually Russian SSBNs. Or the mispelling of 'Kadena' Air Base as 'Kadina' Air Base (I lived on Kadena). Another big thing....what happened to the war between Russia and Ukraine? Did it end after 'certain events at the end of the book' (don't want to give it away to those who haven't read it) or is it still going on? The B-1B is certainly a very capable weapons platform, but I believe you slightly over exaggerated it's capabilities, by stressing again and again how great the Bone is. But I guess that's because you're a Bone jock, ha ha.
