Thunderbolt : a Miranda Chase thriller
(Book)

The best ground-attack support fighter jets ever built--the A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthogs"--are falling out of the sky. The Air Force brass repeatedly schemes to decommission this low-tech jet. They've been blocked by soldiers, pilots, and Congress...so far. The "Hog" lies at the crux of a high-tech struggle for power. An interagency skirmish that now rapidly descends into a battle fought on a global scale. Miranda Chase, air-crash savant for the National Transportation Safety Board, and her team dive in. The high-risk stakes mount in the battlespace--and a secret from their past could make them the next target. Miranda may become the spark that ignites a war. -- Amazon.com.
