Jake Grafton is back! After flying A-6 Intruders in Vietnam and,
seventeen years later, commanding an air wing aboard a super carrier in
the Mediterranean, Jake - now grounded - is assigned to the Pentagon
where he is in charge of developing the navy's new top secret stealth
attack plane, the A-l2. Faced with political and technical problems at
every turn, Jake soon finds himself drawn into the hunt for the
Minotaur, a mole hidden in the Pentagon who is giving America's most
precious defense secrets to the Russians. The FBI's chief spy-catcher is
hot on the Minotaur's trail, or is he? Just who are the traitors in this

before Grafton hones in on the shocking identity of the Minotaur - and
his even more chilling motive. Combining authentic details of weapons
