The Cold Warrior

Autor James A. Autry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2018
This is a fascinating story of a young fighter pilot's welcome into the cold war world of 1950s Europe where he confronts not only the dangers of supersonic flying but also a world of wild parties, uninhibited sex and, of course, love. At the same time, his beautiful wife encounters new sexual possibilities courtesy of French men, a middle eastern prince, and, of course, fighter pilots. Author James Autry brilliantly describes all the harrowing adventures and frolicking escapades of these hell-bent men and women, making the best of living in a strange country, often flying untested equipment, and surviving on skill and instinct. The pace of the story constantly breaks the sound barrier, and it will play on all your emotions. Strap into your harness and enjoy the ride!
