Prologue
Bestselling author John J. Nance ignites a firestorm of action in a gripping novel about brave flyers fighting the war against our nation's wildfires.

In the arid wilderness of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, a raging fire is sweeping the land, threatening to incinerate thousands of homes and create an ecological disaster of epic proportions.

Caught in an inferno of lies, deception, and death, Maxwell knows that fire isn't the only enemy that can burn him....
