the united americas have been flying across the country because the middle of the countryis a devastated wasteland. so they get a huge gun train together and attempt to go across by land. of course there are all sorts of enemies waiting for them, including the kkk air force. the underlying theme of this book is, believe it or not, race relations. it begins with hawk defending an african-american friend of his in a bar fight. there is also a main character whi is american indian. there's lots of action in this one as the train battles its way across the west. plenty of strange stuff too as parts of it recall hunter being on a psychiatrists couch,, and while on the train, being "inspired" by a beautiful asian girl. it is also the first time hawk flies a plane other than his f-16. it has been stole by the bad guys, so he is flying a harrier jumpjet. what i like about this book is that even though the train starts out ten miles long and carrying all this weaponry, when it makes it to los angeles,its nearly a total wreck with just the locomotive and a few cars remaining, if that. but the idea is they made it, if just symbolically. at the end someone asks hawk if he would do it again, he basically says, "no freaking way." all i have to say after that is that this would have been one hell of a great movie. anything is possible.Read full review
