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.

The Navy characters are quite good, a reflection of the author's service as a career naval officer. They act and react nearly always like naval officers would in similar situations. The naval enlisted personnel are seen almost entirely through the eyes of naval officers, so the flaws in their portrayal really only show up when no officers are present. In those situations, they tend toward caricatures, but those situations are quite rare.
I don't quite buy the NCIS agent; who has both an improbable background (pilot, water polo star, martial artist, sport driver, ....) and seems not to handle physically stressful situations consistently. Similarly, the experienced FBI agent seems to have very uneven capabilities.
The main plot required that I strain my suspension of disbelief quite a bit, in that the most basic level of communication between field personnel and their command structure or ordinary prudence could have pretty easily short-circuited much of the action.
Once you accept the fundamental unlikeliness of the plot, though, the writing is great fun. The writing of action sequences is quite good, giving me a real feel for what the author is intending. Neither side of the competition has a monopoly on either good or bad luck or on good or bad choices. And the technical details (as one could expect) are spot on (within the restrictions of classification).
Even though this book has its flaws, it was quite entertaining to read. With the strengths the author has in what seems to be his first book, I expect other books in the series to be very good. Recommended.
