The Tomorrow War

Wingman #16

by Mack Maloney

A fighter pilot embarks on a daring journey in this unique blend of science fiction and fast-paced action-adventure.   In an alternate universe, the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1998. Within weeks, their massive navy has seized control of the Panama Canal and all of South America. Hope lies in Hawk Hunter, a refugee from another dimension who’s the greatest fighter pilot the world, in any dimension, has ever seen. He mounts a daring raid on Tokyo, dropping a bomb so powerful that it obliterates the Japanese mainland—sinking it beneath the waves like a new Atlantis. And then, after his greatest triumph, the Wingman vanishes.   Finding him is left to Yaz, the sharpest spy the government has to offer, and Zoltan the Magnificent, a US Psychic Corps officer with a dramatic streak. As they get on Hunter’s trail, they find that the Wingman isn’t dead—he’s embarked on his greatest adventure yet.  The Tomorrow War is the sixteenth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.

Reviews

[Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

Twelve years after the first one appeared, The Tomorrow War was the sixteenth Wingman novel and the last published by Zebra and then Pinnacle in the mass-market format labeled for the Men's Adventure genre. Hawk went on hiatus for almost fifteen years (not counting a handful of science fiction novels from Ace that might have been an alternate version of him), before number seventeen appeared in a new format from a different publisher. The Tomorrow War is set in an alternate universe, and concludes with a sort of rushed but honest feeling attempt to tie up as many loose ends as possible. Hawk seems unsure of himself through much of the story, and his supporting crew is absent much of the time. It still has a great pulp flavor and some interesting twists (such as Hawk having to work with Robotov), but I didn't enjoy it as much as the earliest books in the series.

Cheesy and exciting this is a fun addition to the superb pilot action hero series
. Distopia that makes sense

Wingman Series # 16

Rated two stars. I have read 15 books in this series that I rated 4 and 5 stars, but this one # 16 just did not connect and was boring. I kept putting it down and reading little bits hoping it would turn around. The series is out of gas and I am not sure I want to read the final couple of books although I do want to see what happens to the main character Hawk Hunter.

Rated 2 stars. First book of the 16 in the series I have read that I struggled to finish. Only one more in the series that after a break I will read only to find out what happens to the main character Hawk Hunter.
