Lions of the Sky is everything you'd want in an aviation/military thriller and is a must read for any fan of Top Gun.
Retired Navy pilot, Paco Chierici has written an incredibly enjoyable novel with highly relatable characters, action packed scenes, and unquestionable authenticity that elevates the story to another level.
We follow Sam 'Slammer' Richardson, a living legend amongst his fellow fighter pilots, as he instructs a unique class of trainees before heading back out to the Fleet where he yearns to be. In this class are two female pilots, their presence causing old stereotypes and concerns to bubble to the surface, as they are forced to prove they deserve to be amongst 'the boys'. As they progress from simulators, practice carrier landings, and then finally transition into full combat, every pilot and WSO is judged solely by their talent, skill, and wit... regardless of their gender.
Full of intrigue, manipulation, and loyalty tests, Lions of the Sky does a fantastic job of walking readers through the world of fighter pilots, highlighting the narrow margins they must train and work in as they protect the skies and the other military personnel they are ultimately responsible for. Definitely recommend this book to any fan of the thriller genre.
