THE FASTEST PILOT IN THE SKY HAS JUST BECOME A TARGET.
Cal Bradley is a daredevil racing pilot who lives to push planes to their limits. At the National Air Meet, aircraft builder Speed Kyle sees a chance to pair the best pilot with the best planes—and save Kyle Aircraft in the process.
Speed Kyle has a factory full of aircraft and no market for them. Winning two major events could bring the lucrative airline and air mail contracts his company desperately needs. With Cal at the controls, he finally has a fighting chance.
But rival Jupiter Aircraft intends to win, too—and its idea of competition includes sabotage.
When Cal survives a sabotaged plane, the air meet becomes something far more dangerous than a contest of speed, altitude and skill. Every flight could be another trap, and Georgia Kyle’s fear that Cal is pushing his luck no longer seems like simple nerves.
To save Kyle Aircraft, Cal has to keep flying. To survive, he will have to stay one move ahead of competitors willing to turn air racing into murder.
Set during the rapidly changing world of early aviation, Hurtling Wings is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction filled with air racing, daredevil flying, sabotage and high-stakes competition.
