Dark Vector - (David Slaton and Tru Miller) by Ward Larsen

Book Synopsis

The first book in a blockbuster new series from USA Today bestseller Ward Larsen!

In the wilds of Siberia, a top-secret Russian fighter goes missing on a test flight. The Russian Air Force begins a search, oblivious to their error: they are looking in the wrong spot. The pilot, Colonel Maxim Primakov, has crash landed during an attempted defection.

The new chief of CIA clandestine operations, David Slaton, wants desperately to find him, but only one man is in a position to reach Primakov--Tru Miller, a rookie operator. Slaton plots a rescue deep inside Russia, not realizing that he will have to outfox the one other man who knows the truth. Victor Dubonin is a general in Russian intelligence. His search for Primakov is deeply personal--and if he doesn't succeed it will cost him his life.

Soon a small group of Americans, including its top female test pilot, Kai Drake, find themselves hunted in the wilds of Russia. Their survival will depend on one thing--just how resourceful and lethal they can be.

Review Quotes

"Dark Vector lights off the afterburners on page one and never slows back. Fans of Craig Thomas's classic Firefox will love this contemporary tale of a Russian defector, a top-secret plane, and the American spy who must risk everything to recover both. Pure, unadulterated fun!" --Don Bentley, New York Times bestselling author of Forgotten War
