Horner (coauthor of Every Man A Tiger with Tom Clancy)
When America's space program began to look for astronauts NASA initially turned to fighter pilots, finding in them men who could remain calm in the face of fear and uncertainty and solve intensely complicated problems in disarmingly simple and effective ways. Men who possessed these skills were said to have "the Right Stuff." Without exception the first astronauts were pilots who had flown single seat jet fighters. Set in 1966 during the Vietnam War, THUNDERCHIEF is an extraordinary exploration of what the Right Stuff is and how jet fighter pilots pass it on within their close-knit community. Ashe Wilcox is a young pilot struggling to gain respect through trials of initiation under fire. His mentor is Hunter, a tortured POW-camp survivor obsessed with aerial combat and revenge. Ashe and Hunter's relationship, in which Hunter is a reluctant and demanding instructor, leads Ashe on a dangerous and passionate journey of self-discovery. THUNDERCHIEF explores the inner conflict and mortal spirit of people in combat and reveals the staggering impact on their families and relationships.
