Cowboys and Indians: An Action-Adventure Science-Fiction Suspense-Thriller Comedy Love Story
This book opens with a flight of two MiG-29K fighter aircraft launching from an enemy aircraft carrier in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The MiGs clearly have hostile intent. They have previously shot down two US Navy F/A-18 Hornet aircraft that had launched from the same carrier. This time the MiGs have set their sites on the command and control platform of the airwing, the E-2 Hawkeye.
The five airmen operating as a flight crew in the E-2 know they are in grave danger and have few options at their disposal. They can try and outrun the MiGs, but that would be like a fat sea lion out-swimming a great white shark. Another option is to launch the alert F/A-18s to chase down the MiGs before they can launch a missile at the E-2.
