The Satan Contract

Mere months after the high-speed ejection that nearly killed him, Colin Pearce is recalled to active duty to investigate a murder at his last duty station in the USAF, Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. But what begins as a favor for a friend turns into a high-stakes mission where Pearce uncovers a plot to steal the Air Force's newest fighter, the F-35 Lightning II - a plot that seems to involved the USAF's Office of Special Investigations - the same agency that was responsible for Pearce's departure from the Air Force years before.

In a rollercoaster action adventure that starts with a random shoot-out on a highway in Maryland, leads to a battle to the death in the skies over Arizona and culminates with a nighttime commando raid on the complex of a powerful Mexican drug lord, Pearce will need more than his trademark luck, sardonic wit, and spectacular flying skills to triumph. He'll need to be supremely proficient and utterly ruthless. And he'll need to allow the rage that lurks inside him to have free rein. And hope he can regain control - if he lives.
