Jack Knapp sits across from a news reporter, ready to tell his story. The Navy fighter pilot survived the Korean peninsula's explosion into warfare, a conflict that pulled America back into combat just as peace seemed restored after the Taiwan War. The Korean People's Army deployed some of the world's most dangerous weapons, and Jack found himself at the center of efforts to stop a nuclear strike against an American city. Now, as media outlets both celebrate and criticize the war, Jack faces a different kind of mission. He must cut through the noise and spin to reveal what really happened in the skies above Korea. The reporter waits with pen ready as Jack prepares to explain both the courage and the carnage he witnessed, determined that people understand the true price of war.
