Battle for America

by Mack Maloney

Overview

An ace fighter pilot aims to save a shattered America from Russian invasion in this new Wingman novel from “the best high-action thriller writer out there” (Jon Land).

Former US Air Force major Hawk Hunter and his band of patriotic ex-military men have fought tirelessly to reunite their fractured nation after the Russian nuclear sneak attack that put a devastating end to World War III. Now, returning from a space odyssey that began with the diversion of a comet headed for Earth, Hunter finds a 60,000-man Russian army occupying New York City, ready to invade the rest of America. Equally alarming are reports claiming that Hawk’s former girlfriend, Dominique, is living with the head of the Russian secret police in a Manhattan penthouse.

Buzzing through the city’s skyscraper canyons in a tiny STOL Highlander and glimpsing the enemy invaders’ massive weaponry for himself, Hawk realizes he’s up against the greatest danger his homeland has ever faced, even with the help of Captain “Bull” Dozer and his team of ex-Marines. But with the woman and the country he loves in dire peril, threatened by a mysterious convoy of Russian superships, the Wingman will apply all his aviation prowess and strategic ingenuity to devise a plan to launch the fiercest, most crucial battle for America yet, no matter the risks.

Filled with fast-paced, furious action and a wide range of aircraft and military hardware that will fascinate techno-thriller fans, Battle for America brings back favorite characters from earlier books in the series and delivers a riveting story that reveals new insight on America’s most enigmatic hero: the Wingman.

Editorial Reviews

06/05/2017
At the start of Maloney’s exciting 18th Wingman thriller (after 2013’s Attack on Area 51), 60,000 Russian troops occupy New York City in the aftermath of a nuclear war that decimated the U.S. and left the country divided into rival fiefdoms. The only viable opposition is led by Capt. John “Bull” Dozer, who’s holed up in the New Jersey Pine Barrens with a hundred ex-marines known as the Seventh Cavalry. The head of the Russian forces is NKVD chief Vladimir Zmeya Mikhailovich. A drunk who suffers from serious mental illness, Mikhailovich has moved into the penthouse at 30 Rockefeller Center with his mistress, Dominique, who was once the girlfriend of former USAF major Hawk Hunter (aka the Wingman), whom many believe died 10 years earlier. The Wingman proves to be very much alive when he lands his tiny circus airplane at his friend Dozer’s hidden base. Once the Wingman learns of Dominique’s situation, he determines to rescue her and, in the process, free New York and save America. The universe-shifting plot is wild, the action thrilling, and the characters absolutely original. Maloney’s light, humorous touch is a plus. (May)
