The Last Persian Tomcat - Paperback

by Mitchell Boling (Author)

Picking up where PERSIAN TOMCATS left off, a lone F-14 Persian Tomcat of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force has survived the air battle and landed at a civilian airport inside Iran. Ten days later, a United States reconnaissance satellite spotted the jet fighter during a routine overflight. Upon dispatching the CIA to investigate, an alarming discovery was made. The Iranians had preserved one of the improved AIM-54 Phoenix missiles and converted it into a powerful cruise missile, capable of delivering chemical weapons to ground targets a hundred miles away.

In order to prevent an all-out war between the United States and Iran, the U.S. president must make a difficult decision to relieve Iran of its latest weapon. Since an outright strike against a civilian airport is out of the question, he orders a near-impossible covert mission. With the assistance of the CIA and SEAL Team 9, the Last Persian Tomcat will be taken from Iran and flown to safety.

Join former Persian Tomcat pilot Moein Mahmoudi, Staff Sergeant Chris Gray, and First Lieutenant Victoria "Crusher" MacMillan in a life and death race against time to prevent Iran from using the new weapon against American forces in Iraq.
