SOMETIMES GOOD INTENTIONS CAN LAND YOU IN A WHOLE HEAP OF TROUBLE...
When an F-18 Navy fighter careens out of the blue sky above the Mojave desert, TV cameraman Wes Stewart can see exactly what is going to happen next. Frantically, he races to the downed jet and tries to save the pilot's life.
The plane explodes - and Wes escapes without harm but plunges into a murderous conspiracy.
He finds himself up against the US military, the local police and someone who is tracking his every move. For, in the moments he spent with the dying pilot, Wes discovered something that could get him killed.
But while he tries to untangle a web of lies and secrets surrounding the crash, another danger is stalking him.
And this one he will never see coming.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the outset of this middling stand-alone from Battles (The Cleaner), Wes Stewart, a cameraman with a TV crew, is filming in the desert several hours north of Los Angeles when an F-18 Navy jet crashes just yards away. Wes makes a valiant effort to save the pilot, but the plane goes up in flames before Wes can extract him from the cockpit. Navy personnel question Wes, who's hailed as a hero, but an article in the newspaper the next day is a surprise to Wes because the accompanying photo of the pilot isn't of the man he tried to pull out of the plane. The ensuing attempt at a coverup, plus a dark secret from Wes's past, threaten the lives of Wes and his TV crew. The succeeding twists will shock and surprise only those readers who are new to the thriller genre.
