Phantom Strike

By William H. Lovejoy

Book Overview

Never has the balance of power in the Middle East been more delicate. Stoked by the flames of defeat, the Libyan high command has secretly completed the construction of a massive chemical weapons plant in the desert. Their Sukhoi-24 bombers, capable of undertaking short-range lethal raids, have orders for a test target: three refugee camps, filled with women, children and the old. Millions of innocent lives are set to be destroyed in this flexing of the high command's muscles, but at the first sign of aggression the entire region is set to erupt into total war Spurred on by the intelligence reports yet unable to wage an overt pre-emptive attack, the White House is forced to turn to Andrew Wyatt. A "covert specialist" and former top gun pilot, Wyatt marshals his squad of unmarked F-4 Phantoms as a C.I.A. agent on the ground tries to learn more prior to their arrival. Wyatt must lead them through the deadly net of Libya's air defences, risking everything as he endeavours to deliver a final blow in the name of international peace... "Lovejoy writes in afterburner ... action that leaves you dry-lipped, moist-palmed and hungry for more. An excellent read." - M.E. Morris "Fast-paced aerial action... 'Phantom Strike' is a supersonic rush toward a deadly target that rings with authenticity " - Jimmie H. Butler, 'The Iskra Incident'
