Retrieve - or destroy . . .
Once perfected, the aircraft nicknamed "DreamStar" will be America's new air-superiority fighter and the world's deadliest combat-ready weapon. Even the advanced "Cheetah", a heavily modified two-seater F-15E, is beginning to show its age - relegated to being the older, less "intelligent" cousin of "DreamStar".
But unknown to the Cheetah's pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Pat McLanahan - former navigator of the B-52 "Old Dog" - a KGB mole has infiltrated the DreamStar project. When the mole hijacks the superplane, it is up to McLanahan to get the fighter back - despite the overwhelming odds stacked against him.
'Day Of The Cheetah', with its thrilling dog-fights, nail-biting suspense and convincing characters, is the ultimate novel of high-tech aviation. It rockets to a breathtaking and shattering finale.
