Publisher's summary

After a Navy pilot inexplicably loses control of his stealth fighter, he stumbles upon a global conspiracy, and embarks on a thrilling chase filled with espionage and betrayal.

“A high-octane and adrenaline-powered thriller… Strap in and hold on!”–Jack Carr, Former Navy SEAL sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece Terminal List series

TOP GUN instructor Colt Bancroft has just catapulted off the USS Abraham Lincoln, his F-35C Joint Strike Fighter trailing blue and yellow flame as he climbs into the night sky off the California coast.

When he is sent to investigate a series of mysterious lights floating dangerously close to his aircraft carrier, disaster strikes. His jet becomes unresponsive as it rolls inverted and enters a nosedive aimed right at the aircraft carrier’s unsuspecting escort cruiser…

What follows is a tale of heroism and betrayal, spycraft and suspense, and aerial combat against an unexpected adversary.

To clear his name and unmask a traitor, Colt must survive a dangerous game of spy-vs-spy, where trusting the wrong person could cost him his life. To stop the enemy from hitting their ultimate target, Colt must use every ounce of his skill and training…and uncover the identity of the UNKNOWN RIDER.

From author Jack Stewart, a former US Navy Top Gun instructor pilot, comes an exhilarating military thriller that’s packed with high-octane action and puts the listener behind the controls of a modern jet fighter. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown.

New author FTW

This was an awesome find. The character development, story progression and amazing details put this right up on my “shelf” with Jack Carr and Tom Clancy.

New Star

In the tradition of Tom Clancy, we have a new set of characters and stories to look forward to. Thanks to Ray Porter to bring us this gem.

Not what I expected - better

For some reason, I misunderstood or misread the description of this book. I thought it was a science fiction book. It’s a thriller- a military thriller. I haven’t read this genre in years. I’m so glad to come back to it. This was a ride! Well done!

Too many loose ends

Didn’t like the loose ends at the end of the book. No epilogue, no nothing.

Action Packed

While I sometimes got a little bogged down in the technical descriptive segments, the action kept me engaged and cheering on the heroes as they gave chase to the bad guys. I couldn't put it down until the end and have already pre-ordered the next novel in the audio series. The narration was good.

Outstanding listen: Top Gun and NIS beat China

What an awesome book, especially it's the author's first. Non-stop action, good plot twists and echoes of real world concerns. Narrate by the GOAT: Ray Porter. I can't wait to listen to book 2, Outlaw.
