Fallout

By James W. Huston

Book Overview

Forced to resign after being wrongly scapegoated for a tragic midair disaster, former Navy TOPGUN instructor Luke Henry has opened a private aerial combat training school in the Nevada desert -- with the aid of a cadre former aces and full support of the government. But the Defense Department's contract comes with strings attached: Luke must train a handpicked group of pilots from the Pakistani Air Force in Russian MiG-29s that the U.S. has supplied. These suspicious foreign nationals are being placed at the controls of one of the world's most potent aerial weapons, and it's Luke job to make them proficient. But the strangers may have a secret agenda that strikes directly at the vulnerable heart of their American benefactors, a nightmarish scenario of devastating terror that Luke Henry must expose and combat -- in the skies above his nation, if necessary.

Customer Reviews

Very Fast Pace

I thought the book was very interesting as well as fast pace. It could have been a little longer, mainly because it was so good. I would have liked a little more story behind the terrorists preparations prior to entering the school, but other than that I would have to say this is a very excellent book. Anyone who has served in the military will love this book, and even if you haven't I would say give it a shot!

Reads Like Tomorrow's Headlines

This is a flatout good read - It kept me turning the pages well into the wee hours. Full of action and intrigue it will carry you along as terrorists penetrate the Homeland to begin carrying out a very plausable and troubling attack. However, it doesn't end there. If you like Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, or Richard Hermanyou will enjoy the adventure that James Huston has laid out for you. Buckle up!

Outstanding

This book is outstanding. I couldn't put it down. It was even better than Flash Point in my opinion. The plot developed nicely and the characters were described more realistic than many books do. I hope this becomes a movie. I reccommend this bok to all ages.

I'm about 100 pages into Fallout and so far it is excellent. Huston is far one of the best thriller writers alive today even better than Clancy. keep up the good work Huston!
