'THE GUY SUSPENSE WRITERS READ. I'M A BIG FAN' Stephen Coonts
Air Force veteran Chance Fitzgerald honed his flying skills in war torn skies over Vietnam and the Middle East. And developed a taste for adventure he just couldn't shake...
It's just as well, because no one else would choose to smuggle a C-130 Hercules halfway round the world into Iran as an easy way of making a living.
The job of delivering the vast military cargo plane requires subterfuge and meticulous planning. It will, Fitzgerald tells his shadowy client, be 'very, very dangerous'.
To succeed, he and his crew must survive some of the world's most hostile airspace while on the ground, an army of spies, hustlers and saboteurs anticipate their every move, determined to stop them in their tracks at any cost.
Fitzgerald will need all his guile, experience and daring - if he can only stay alive long enough...
The Fifth Freedom is perfect for fans of Frederick Forsyth, Wilbur Smith, Clive Cussler, Alastair Maclean, Mike Lunnon-Wood, Stephen Coonts, Dale Brown and Andy McNab.
