"Puts you right in the cockpit with your Finger on the trigger. A Truly Awesome Read; and a climax that Hollywood couldn't invent."---Andy McNab, Author of Immediate Action
The Apache AH Mk 1 is the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the world---and the toughest to fly. In the cockpit of an Apache, hands, feet, and even eyes need to operate independetly. As strong as a tank and equipped with two Rolls-Royce RTM-322 engines, the helicopter is nearly impossible to shoot down. And thanks to a powerful array of weapons and cameras, the Apache helicopter can sport prey from miles away---and kill the enemy with a flick of the finger.
In 2007, Ed Macy's Apache squadron was dispatched to Afghanistan's notorious Helmand Province, with the mission to fight alongside and protect the men on the ground by any means necessary. When a marine goes missing in action, Macy and his team are the Army's only hope of bringing him back alive. With a soldier strapped to each side of two gunships, they must land in the heart of Jugroom Fort, a Taliban stronghold, and come face-to-face with hordes of their unrelenting enemy. What follows is a breathtaking rescue, unlike any the world has ever seen.
"Macy...does for the Apache helicopter's gunships what Dan Mills did for the infantry in Sniper One: he puts readers in the cockpit of an aircraft that requires great skill and attention to keep in the air."---Publishers Weekly
"Macy is the real deal. Nobody could write that powerfully about combat, or amotionally about the men fighting with him, unless he has been at the gunship's controls."---Sergeant Major Dan Mills, Author of Sniper One
"Thoroughly Absorbing...A real find for students of modern warfare."---Booklist
