When Cmdr. Brick Maxwell's wingman is shot down and taken prisoner by a Palestinian splinter group, Special Envoy Rick Solares negotiates his release. But Brick suspects something sinister going on behind the scenes. And when the woman he loves falls victim to the same terrorists, his devotion to duty turns into a desire for vengeance. With the help of his Roadrunner Squadron, Maxwell will risk everything to make the enemy pay-as only an angry F/A-18 Hornet fighter pilot can.
