About this title

About the Author:

Mark Berent served in the Air Force for more than twenty years, first as an enlisted man and then as an officer and fighter pilot. He has logged over 5,000 hours of flying time, more than 1,000 of them in combat. During his three Vietnam tours, Berent earned not only the Siver Star but also two Distinguished Flying Crosses, twenty-five Air Medals, the Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.

From Library Journal:

Berent's (Storm Flight, LJ 9/15/93) latest popular novel is a heroic tale featuring U.S. fighter pilots during the Vietnam War. The text is conveniently spliced with hard rock music and accompanied by sounds of guns and aircraft. The characters have dual conflicts, e.g., Major Court Bannister's brother is a traitor, Captain Toby Parker battles alcoholism, and Lieutenant Colonel Wolf Lochert fights corruption. The vignettes are uneven as is Paul Ikena's narrative performance. Nonetheless, the work will appeal to the action-oriented crowd. For large collections.
