CALLING from the Sky

A Novel Inspired by True Events

Beschreibung

Calling from the Sky is a biographical fiction inspired by the true story of a US Air Force skydiver with 2,000 jumps; forward air control operations, combat control, and Air Force Wings of Blue Parachute team member. The author, Michael Copple, survived true multiple parachute malfunctions during his career. These experiences contribute to the book with graphic details of each incident. In Calling from the Sky, Luke Corbett, the high achiever, star miler, and Eagle Scout, joins the Air Force in 1961 having no idea of the dangers that await him. Overly enthusiastic as a missile analyst, Luke unintentionally leaks classified information to Soviet spies. He reports the incident, setting off a chain of events that soon has Luke and his wife, Cheryl, in the crosshairs of a vengeance plot. His attempts to protect himself and his family launch him on a new career path. As a parachutist he encounters sabotages to his parachute resulting in malfunctions. Will he be killed by a malfunction? Or will it happen when he finds himself strapped to a tree with his arm stretched out, his hand tied to a fishing line attached to his hair-triggered hunting rifle, aimed directly at his mouth isolated in the forest? Will the Truth set him free? Follow Luke along and get an inside look at the Air Force Academy, Air Force special operations, and skydiving. Let Luke pull you into the action as if he is describing your actions and decisions ... and the consequences. Enjoy history and geography; read about KGB practices and training; find intrigue, suspense, and realistic parachuting scenes, and how it all led up to a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
