More DescriptionWhen Marine Lieutenant Michael Neill is ordered to the former Soviet Union, his assignment is to verify nuclear disarmament. But before his mission begins, he suffers both a personal and
professional loss—an American reconnaissance plane is attacked
by a Russian fighter, and a Navy pilot is killed. Ironically, the dead
airman is Neill’s good friend and former Naval Academy classmate. After the incident, Neill’s mission changes.
The President’s National Security Advisor wants Lieutenant Neill
to investigate Russian stealth technology, in addition to his original assignment. Photographic evidence—and the lack of radar images
of the attacking aircraft—lead the American intelligence community to conclude that something new has been developed in the skies over
Russia. The task is a daunting one, but the NSA believes that Neill’s friendship with a high-ranking officer in the Ukrainian Air Force is the key to establishing Red Sky at Morning—the existence of new
aviation technology that could upset the balance of power between East and West. However, ultra-nationalist forces are at work. After arriving in
Eastern Europe, Neill quickly uncovers a conspiracy of terrorism secretly instigated by the Kremlin. Government leaders in Moscow
will stop at nothing to rebuild the Soviet Union as they try to force the breakaway republics back into the fold. Completing his initial mission is easy compared to what follows. Neill discovers that the terrorism has extended to the weapons facility
he is charged with inspecting. Communist agents have gone far beyond their original orders, and it’s a race against time as the Marine—with the
help of a beautiful Ukrainian journalist—tries to stop them—and come
up with a plan to bring down the corrupt government officials in Moscow.
