The threat of nuclear war keeps Hawk Hunter in the cockpit—from the author who delivers “desperate, raw, 200-proof action” (Stephen Coonts). In the chaos that followed the end of World War III, Major Hawk Hunter took refuge in the arms of a woman named Dominique. As he waged war against the Soviets, fighting to restore the United States, the nation’s greatest fighter pilot and the woman he loved became the most famous couple of the Free World. But Hunter’s campaign soon tore them apart, and he was forced to send her to Canada, where his enemies claimed Dominique as their own. Drugged, tortured, and imprisoned, she waits helplessly—praying for his return. After leading a daring raid to rescue his beloved, Hunter announces his retirement, declaring that only a nuclear threat could get him back into the cockpit. But such a threat is coming—in the sleek black nuclear submarines now steaming toward the eastern seaboard, whose warheads threaten everything Hunter has fought to rebuild. Skyfire is the eighth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.

All but obliterated by the poisonous fallout of a first-strike nuclear attack, America has been reduced to a war-blackened wasteland, struggling to survive. Up from the broken dreams of what was the most powerful country on earth rises a lone hero, ready to rekindle the American spirit: Hawk Hunter, ace fighter pilot, known to his enemies as the Wingman!

Nuclear submarine transports strike fast and hard in a series of surprise attacks on major East coast cities, leaving a bloody trail of death and destruction. Ill-equipped for retaliation, the war-torn remains of what was once America must turn to Hawk Hunter, "The Wingman", to spearhead the fight against the enemy hordes. Joining forces with the Doomsday Fleet, a tight group of naval attacks ships, Hunter leads an epic battle to keep America free.
