Part of Dirk Pitt®, book 2
First published 2004
Major Dirk Pitt flies his amphibious aircraft through the Aegean islands when a desperate distress signal breaks through his radio. Brady Air Force base reports an impossible attack. A single World War I biplane has destroyed their entire fleet of modern jets while the aircraft sat defenseless on the tarmac. Pitt finds himself drawn into a web that connects a deranged former Nazi officer, a ruthless drug trafficker, a brutal Greek crime boss, and a gorgeous woman whose loyalties remain unclear. These dangerous figures lead him toward the twisted genius orchestrating a far-reaching sabotage operation. Pitt must navigate deadly traps and constant threats as he unravels the conspiracy, knowing that each step forward brings him closer to mortal peril in his pursuit of the truth.
