HELL TO PAYA War Novel
Landing on a pitching and rolling aircraft carrier and air combat are the easy parts of this pilot's life.
This riveting, true-to-life war novel has more to offer than combat. Aside from treating the reader to the thrill of flying, one experiences the stressful life of a pilot far from his family in a frantic war. Also folded skillfully into the tale are romance, history, espionage, government corruption and much more. It has been well received by women as well as men.

Captain
Kirby is a pilot’s pilot and damn glad to be on the front lines of a
war held in balance by Naval Aviation. The North Korean Army wants South
Korea at all costs and Kirby, Air Group Commander on the USS Valley
Forge, must hold them at bay until
U.S. forces can be mobilized. Also nagging at Kirby’s subconscious is Lieutenant Commander Luther Garr’s promise of six years ago to get even with Kirby. Garr’s happenstance assignment to the USS Valley Forge allows him to put his devious mind to work in destroying Kirby and bringing the Navy to its knees. As the multifaceted plot weaves its path away from Korea and back, Kirby becomes an unknowing victim of government corruption. This thrusts him deep into a political incident with the Soviet Union that will ultimately test his courage and tenacity as a POW. . . |
