Half CIA and half fighter pilot, Troy Mach loses his best friend, the husband of the woman he desperately loves, to a hot-rodded MiG-21-14X over North Vietnam He downs the MiG, not knowing its pilot's sister, spymistress Chiang, lords a third of the Asian drug trade. She was even the military genius behind General Giap's victory over the French at Dien Bien Phu. Troy is assigned to smash her Laos drug network, as shadowy Chiang stalks him to avenge her brother. Troy romances the enchantress he loves, with deadly Chiang but a day behind. She dynamites their leased plane and limo. The reader suspects that Christie's war-torn, turncoat husband will return from the dead! This stunning author is likely the only USAF pilot to occupy a MiG-21 cockpit during the cold war.
