Flight of the Intruder
reviewed on + 249 more book reviews


Bristles with the same authenticity...that helped catapult THE HUNT FOR THE RED OCTOBER to the top of the best-seller lists...Coonts' plots are the real McCoy and his compassion for them sustains his story from the first page to the last...a sometimes exhilarating, often nightmarish tale. The Kirkus Review.

The A-6 Intruder pilots--an elite cadre of Navy fliers, rowdy on shore, restless on ship, hunters in the Vietnam skies. Jake "Cool Hand" Grafton is one of the best: a quiet man strapped into the cockpit of a million-dollar killing machine, slamming through the air just beneath the speed of sound. But after too many senseless missions, too many pointless deaths, Grafton is a man ready to explode. Suddenly with a renegade bombadier named Tiger, he's flying his intruder deep into North Vietnam, on one last, hell-bent strike for honor--and victory!
