Produktbeschreibung
Jim Miller's books include: Heavy Jets, Terror on the Tundra, Terror in Appalachia, Terror in the Smokies, One last Mission, Kentucky Weed, Vienna, Stealing Ho Chi Minh's Gold, and Counter Intelligence, but this is the story he has always wanted to write. He is a retired military and commercial pilot and, as former director of operations for the presidential airlift wing at Andrews Air Force Base, he is uniquely qualified to write a fictional account of an Air Force One hijacking (but without the movie's escape module.) He's dealt with world leaders during international crises and observed how fragile world peace can be. The Covid pandemic made us all aware that a virus could wipe out huge swaths of mankind. Just imagine a weaponized even more virulent virus. We know there are extremists who would not hesitate to use such a weapon - even against their own people, their own nation. They obey only the fundamental genetic imperative: Protect those like you; destroy all others. This is their story, and it is frighteningly possible.
Autorenporträt
Jim Miller is a retired military and later civilian pilot. He was once the Director of Operations for the Presidential Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base. He's traveled to every continent except Antarctica and has lived in Austria, Germany, Japan, Thailand, and over a dozen American cities. Along the way, he's been a student of the people and places and their stories. Now, he is the author of more than a dozen novels of overlapping genres. His historical military fiction novels include Heavy Jets, Vienna, Counter Intelligence, One Last Mission, Stealing Ho Chi Minh's Gold, and Once Upon a Time There Was a War, all derived from personal experience and associations. The more whimsical Terror on the Tundra, Terror in Appalachia, and Terror in the Smokies are just fun looks at what might happen if a pack of giant prehistoric wolves evolved in polar isolation find themselves adrift on an iceberg to begin a southern migration that brings them into conflict with humans. It's often told from the wolves' point of view. And then there are Werewolves Don't Cry and The Old Man and the Werewolf. You can sum up his entire library very simply by realizing that, just because it's life or death, you don't have to take it too seriously. Just enjoy reading.
