FOXBAT

Stop the nuclear strike – at all costs… 1976: A Russian pilot defects to Japan in a MiG-25 Foxbat interceptor. Before the aircraft is handed back to the Russians, American engineers reduce it to a pile of components and then rebuild it. But despite the wealth of intelligence they glean, they fail to realise its true purpose… The present day: American satellites have detected unusual activity at several Algerian air bases. At Aïn Oussera, a large hangar has been cordoned off and armed guards are posted outside. What is in the hangars to merit such measures? The only way to find out is to get someone inside. The trail Paul Richter follows takes him from Algeria to Russia and ends with him fighting for his life in the skies over Korea.
