Public eyes are on the Apollo Moon mission, but it's the secret space race that will decide who wins the Cold War.
In the dark recesses of a hangar, hidden deep in the Mojave desert, an experimental hypersonic aircraft lurks in the shadows.
A secret to all but a handful of men, the XS-81 has a very specific task, ready to protect the United State's military secrets from a new wave of Soviet satellites.
To crew a highly sensitive first mission, a young test pilot will sit alongside an Edwards AFB veteran. For Captain Red Brunson, this is a chance to make amends after a difficult start in his test flying career.
But at the heart of this top-secret project, is a traitor.
With the United States on the brink of a humiliating disaster, exposed by a deep cover spy, Red finds himself at the centre of an incident that could make the Bay of Pigs look like a picnic.
His own life is on the line, but if he fails, it won't be worth living anyway.
From James Blatch, a gripping Cold War page-turner.
