Vengeance Flight
After his last deployment with the Wallbangers that resulted in the demise of his Hawkeye skipper, Navy pilot Jack “Rattler” Owen is ready for a fresh start. Now flying the F/A-18C Hornet with the Warhawks on the West Coast, he’s preparing for his next deployment and enjoying spending time with his girlfriend, Sandy.
However, Rattler’s problems are far from over. His new squadron mate doesn’t like him, he misses the camraderie he shared with his former squadron, and before long, he’s headed off for a combat deployment and life at sea. But a threat even greater than flying in enemy territory looms. Rattler has unwittingly thwarted a sinister plan hatched by a secret organization driven by money, power, and greed that could take down the entire US, and they’ll stop at nothing to make him pay. But as they’ll soon find out, there’s nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose.

Once again, T.R. Matson brings the heat like only a fighter pilot can! A tremendous sequel to his international best-selling book, Treason Flight, T.R. Matson weaves a tale of action, adventure, love, heartbreak and of course, VENGANCE!
you'll witness the gripping realities of US Naval Aviation, experiencing both the exhilarating highs and heart-wrenching lows alongside Lt. Jack "Rattler" Owen. From his transition from the trusted E-2C Hawkeye to the formidable F/A-18C Hornet, you'll be on the edge of your seat as the dangers, sacrifices, and unwavering dedication of the US Navy's men and women come to life, as seen through the eyes of Lt. Jack "Rattler" Owen. Brace yourself for a tale that intertwines authentic cockpit scenes, an irresistible love story (because who can resist a hot, blonde, Aussie flight attendant?), and a strong sense of family that even Dominic Toretto would envy. The twists and turns of this book had me non-stop turning pages. It pulled me in and did not let go!
With its gripping twists and turns, Vengeance Flight will keep you hooked from the very beginning. Matson's storytelling prowess shines through, demonstrating significant growth since the days of Treason Flight (which I absolutely loved, by the way). I couldn't put this book down for seven hours straight, savoring every moment. I loved the sinister nature of the main antagonist throughout that added a dark and thrilling layer, and the ending was rather satisfying. I wholeheartedly recommend picking up this book, even if you haven't read Treason Flight. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, reading Treason Flight will provide you with in-depth background and subtle references that enhance the overall experience. Vengeance Flight earns a well-deserved 5-star rating from me!

Once I finished Treason Flight I knew without a doubt I had to get Vengeance Flight..
Once again, T.R. Matson brings the heat like only a fighter pilot author can! This EPIC sequel weaves a tale of action, adventure, love, heartbreak and VENGEANCE!
Vengeance Flight alone will keep you hooked from chapter one; It had me non stop turning the pages….TR MATSON describes life as a Navy pilot so well that at times i too felt I was right there in the moment. Highlighting the dangers and challenges of their combat missions down to the finest detail.
I couldn't put this book down. Every night I tried to tell myself; just one chapter…This would always lead to wanting/needing to know more. I was hooked by the sinister nature of the main antagonist throughout the entire book this added a dark but thrilling layer, and the ending was EPIC. I 100% recommend this book.
Vengeance Flight gets a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from me.
I am eagerly awaiting book 3.

If you want a true, full-throttle thrill ride—this is it. MATSON delivers big time in this second offering in the series that follows “Rattler” trying to fit in with a new mission. Vengeance is on the menu as Rattler deals with loyalty issues, questionable actions, and lies around every corner. MATSON delivered is this much anticipated follow up to Treason Flight.

Vengeance Flight 👍
The story was really good and riveting. I like how T.R. Matson gives insight into the characters history and motives through narration as well as events/reflecting on their lives. This makes the story more interesting and less redundant. 👍

What a gripper! From start to finish...
T.R. Matson left nothing behind as we follow along with his second installment of Rattler's journey. What an epic journey, just goes to show you you're never down or never out...
I can't wait for Rattler's next high octane mission.

Vengeance Flight was just OK for me. The story started on an aircraft carrier but ended differently. There was just something about the whole story and the way it was written that made me want the story to just end.
