Shattered Bone by Chris Stewart

This was an interesting fiction piece in that even though published in 1997, there was a timeliness to some of the geopolitics involved given the recent impeachment of the President for his illegally withholding Congressionally-appropriated funds to support Ukraine in their efforts at self-defense against Russia.

Unless the author had a guest writer, I'm very impressed as this was his first (only? I don't know) book.

A sleeper from old Russia, but with closer ties to "the Ukraine", the main character is now a pilot for the U.S. Air Force. He's hoping that his past is behind him with the dissolution of the U.S.S.R., but alas, it is not to be.

Some interesting stuff for us Army ground pounder types, learning about the B1 Bomber. A jacket cover description of the book refers to is as a "technothriller."

I recommend it for entertainment if you like military-themed thrillers. Not super heavy on gore and violence relative to many others, which was fine by me.
