The Middle East unites under Islamic Jihad and former enemies, Sandor and Kumar, wage a war of terrorism against America. Russia secretly offers to sell a dozen advanced MiG-41s to the United States along with a plan that is both daring and dangerous, but could forever alter the balance of power in the Middle East. Hoping to destroy the unity between Kumar and Sandor, Russian Security Advisor Victor Komiskov and his American counterpart, NSA Director Charles Michaels, assemble a covert strike team of hotshot US and Russian pilots under the command of renegade General George “Maddog†Tanner. Flying the advanced jets from a forgotten airfield, they wreak havoc across the Middle East. With the region on the brink of war, a lone US intelligence officer discovers a terrifying Russian secret, and Captain David Olmstead, five minutes from weapons release, must make the most important decision of his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Top Gun and Top Notch,
By Douglas De Bono - Author of No Safe Harbor (Minnetonka, mn United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Virulent Winds (Paperback)
VIRULENT WINDS never lets up and never disappoints. The F-15 (the mainstay of American battlefield air superiority) is no longer the top dog, and to make matters worse, its replacement is a MiG-41. Most authors would have stopped right there, but Jim Clonts takes us much further.Clonts made the MiG-41 real. Obviously, he knows about military aircraft, systems and the tactics employed. He vividly paints a picture of the cockpit and takes us into combat against F-14, MiG-29, MiG-31 and a variety of ground based missile systems. The story centers on two Arab countries: Sandor and Kumar, which are remarkably similar to Iran and Iraq. They are bent on developing WMD systems to direct either against each other or the rest of us. To thwart their efforts, a very black operation teams Russian and American pilots flying MiG-41s against targets in both countries. But things aren't always what they look like and not everyone has the same objective. This is a great, great read. I wish I could give it 10 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Top Notched Middle East Military Thriller!,
By W. H. McDonald Jr. "The American Author Assoc... (Elk Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Virulent Winds (Paperback)
Jim Clonts, a former USAF veteran of Operation Desert Storm and a B-52 navigator, brings us a novel that uses all of his background and training as well as his wonderful and creative imagination. He has created one of the "Top 100" best military thrillers of the past decade. This is truly a book that will be read for many more years to come by fans of this genre.
The author makes good use of his military knowledge so that the plot and the story line all seem real. He is a good word smith and story teller. Makes a great book to take on an airplane or when you traveling and have some time to sit back and read. It will hook you and keep you interested all the way to the last pages. Jim's book is well worth reading and buying. It is good entertainment! Given the MWSA TOP RATING - FIVE STARS!
