Flight of the Intruder [Abridged] [Audio CD]

Stephen Coonts (Author), Frank Converse (Narrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2000

Stephen Coonts flew A-6's in Vietnam. He has the credentials to write this story, which helps explain its long stay on the best seller list.

A-6's were called Intruders. Their pilots tackled assignments of dazzling complexity and flew them with daring and dispatch. But they paid a price...in lost lives, disillusion, incredible tension.

They had one reward -- exhilaration -- worth the whole candle. You share the airmen's special brand of comradery, the one stabilizing force in an otherwise precarious life, that only an insider knows.

"Documentary and dramatic, FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER is to the novel what TOP GUN was to film." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

This review is from: Flight of the Intruder (Bookcassette(r) Edition) (Audio Cassette)

Steven Coonts takes every would be fighter pilot on a ride not soon forgotten. The story is fast moving and covers the techinal aspects of flying today's high tech war planes in such a way that even a student pilot would feel right at home in the cockpit of the Navy A-6 Intruder. The combat missions are fierce and realistic to the point the listener dosen't relax until Jake Braxton lands safely on the Aircraft Carrier deck after each flight.
