An enthralling, fast-paced, suspenseful look into the thrilling highs and challenging lows of a Navy Pilot on combat deployment. T.R. Matson’s extensive real-world knowledge serving as a naval aviator brings authenticity to the gripping pages of Treason Flight, putting the reader in the cockpit to feel the exhilaration of flying alongside the best pilots in the world.
Jack "Rattler" Owen is an elite E-2C Hawkeye Navy pilot on deployment aboard the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier. He’s the best of the best, flying critical missions supporting Naval operations. While struggling to come to terms with his imminent divorce, he must maintain deep focus on the job at hand because he’s already pulled several rabbits out of his hat to survive multiple catastrophic mid-air events that put the lives of his crew in mortal danger. Is it just his “luck bucket” being emptied or is someone from his squadron out to get him? Rattler must decide who he can trust and if it’s worth pursuing possible saboteurs in his mist, putting his career and life on the line to protect and defend the United States of America from all enemies foreign…and domestic.
Treason Flight has depth that goes way beyond the cool aviation action sequences. Yes, it gives readers a peek behind the curtain at the life of a naval aviator aboard an aircraft carrier while flying combat missions. But it’s so much more, exploring the topicsof relationships in a way that applies to anyone whether they have served in the military or not – family dynamics, buddies you would do anything to support, co-workers from subordinates to peers to supervisors, and sexy Australian flight attendants. Well…we don’t all have relationships with that last one, but dare to dream.
Additionally, Treason Flight delves into leadership, showcasing the impact that good and bad leaders have on the people around them. Everyone has experienced both good and bad leadership and can relate to toxic office politics that bad leaders cultivate. This understanding connects the reader to the story because while most of us haven’t flown military aircraft, we absolutely have encountered people we would follow through the gates of hell and others who we wish would get what’s coming to them. Though to be fair it’s usually without the life and death consequences that Rattler faces.
Well written, suspenseful and realistic, Treason Flight is a highly relatable and engaging book that flies by with the speed of a F/A-18C Hornet catapulted off the deck of an aircraft carrier. A highly enjoyable and recommended reading experience for fans of military and/or conspiracy thrillers.
