Alpha Kat
‘Lovejoy has proven himself a master storyteller.’ - Clive Cussler
Hidden in a remote northern province of Burma, heavily fortified and protected by state-of-the-art-Mirage fighters, the headquarters of drug lord Lon Pot’s multi-billion-dollar heroin empire is immune from attack by the outside world.
Covert action has failed against his massive forces-and millions of Americans die from the poison he sells.
The White House orders CIA Deputy Director Ben Wilcox to shut down Pot’s operation, but times are tough and there’s no budget for the special equipment he needs.
Until Alpha Kat.
The brainchild of ex-Air Force pilot Bryce Kimball, it’s the sleekest high-tech stealth air fighter ever designed for surgical strike missions.
Kimball needs a showcase for Alpha Kat. Wilcox gives him the target. The rest is history …
Alpha Kat is a gripping action thriller which provides brilliant insight into the world of high-tech fighting planes.

Excellent story
Mr Lovejoy hit a homerun with this book. A dash of Tom Clancy along with Brad Thor and Clive Cussler. I would love to see more of the Kats.

Ace Pilots and Action
If you like action, political intrigue, and good guys winning, you'll love this story. It takes you across the world into the old Vietnam tangle with a few new players, Americans behaving badly for money, and a prince wishing to take over a few provinces and buy himself a country. Of course the Americans would like to stop him. That's where the plot gets tricky with lots of different organizations including the CIA getting involved. The heroes of the story get caught up in the mission and nothing is as planned . Lots of twists and turns to keep you turning pages .

It was ok
This is the third or fourth book I have read from author Lovejoy, there were so many characters in this book, I felt I needed a display board to keep them straight, because half the time I didn't know who the characters were working for.

William H. Lovejoy takes you to tomorrow in aviation and his writing skills put you in the cockpit rapidly turning pages to follow the non-stop action. This is one you won't want to miss. Thanks for another great read.
