Beschreibung

Beyond Visual Range, the 2022 Distinguished Favorite in Military Fiction.at the NYC Big Book Awards is the fictional story of a paraplegic former female fighter pilot turned drone pilot who exposes the moral injury suffered by drone pilots deployed on kill missions. The Speaker of the House has scheduled a vote on a resolution to impeach the president of the United States. With exaggerated piety the Speaker declares "The president has violated his oath of office. Among other crimes, he ignores the sovereignty of other nations, including our allies, using unmanned drones to assassinate their citizens without due process." In response to what they view as a legislative coup, a rogue military element threatens to break with 250 years of tradition and use military force to overthrow the government. Facing impeachment and an apparent unlawful insurrection among the ranks of the military, the president is not sure who he can trust. He turns to a Florida-based drone team, wheelchair bound Major Samantha Miller and her crewmate, Airman Rebecca Armistead, to counter the military threat. Unusual events and unexplained aerial phenomena, including the downing of Major Miller's F-35 and the sabotage of her drone missions, focus attention on outer space. The X-37B, a remotely piloted space-craft, has returned to Earth after spending a reported two years in space. Its mission is top secret. There is evidence that the military has lost control of the craft when it makes an unauthorized return to the heavens. The battle moves to outer space. And in the end, our heroines must deal with an enemy Beyond Visual Range.
