There, he makes a terrifying discovery that leads to others-and finally to a plot masterminded by a fugitive secret police officer to seize power at gunpoint. Bridgeman quickly finds himself facing a new war, racing against time to train a squadron of new pilots who do not completely accept him, as the plot to crush Asturia's nascent democracy marches toward execution . . .
