Special Access

The most dangerous secrets in America aren't locked in vaults. They fly at night, silent and invisible, where no one hears you coming and no one hears you leave.

Duncan Hunter isn't the kind of operative who makes the news. A decorated pilot turned intelligence asset, he runs the missions that never happened, hunts the enemies no one admits exist, and operates in the classified space between what the government tells you and what it actually does.

Armed with a legendary acoustically silent spy plane and a network of allies forged in the world's most dangerous corners, Hunter wages a shadow war spanning continents. Narcoterrorists, nuclear smugglers, Islamic extremists, and the corrupt officials protecting them from the inside never see him coming. That's the point.

But when America's most elite warriors start turning up dead, the mission becomes something far more personal. And as Hunter pulls at the threads, he uncovers a conspiracy so deeply embedded in the highest levels of power that neutralizing it may cost him everything.

In this world, the truth is classified, the enemies wear suits, and the only thing standing between America and its darkest hour is one silent airplane and the man brave enough to fly it.

Can one man outgun a conspiracy that controls the very institutions sworn to stop it?

Special Access launches the Duncan Hunter Thriller series with a gripping blend of covert aviation, intelligence tradecraft, and ripped-from-the-headlines geopolitics. Perfect for readers of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Mark Greaney.
