Winter Hawk

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller: “A thrill ride . . . The technical details and intricate depiction of Soviet life fascinate.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) American pilot Mitchell Gant barely escaped the USSR alive after stealing its cutting-edge stealth fighter. Nevertheless, he’s going back again—this time, to rescue an American agent with evidence of a looming threat. A group of highly placed, power-hungry Soviets, who want to undermine any hope of a treaty between the superpowers, has plans to put a laser battle station into orbit and destroy America’s space shuttle. To stop them, Gant will first have to maneuver across a thousand miles of airspace—in a helicopter. Once he arrives, he will find himself teaming up with an unexpected ally . . . “With this third Mitchell Gant adventure Thomas firmly establishes himself in the forefront of today’s adventure/thriller writers.” —Publishers Weekly
