Fly to the last drop of fuel.
Fight to the last drop of blood.
Showoff. Reckless. Maverick. Chase Harcourt, call sign “Nyx”, isn’t one to play it
safe. In the year 2048, America is locked in a cold war – and the country’s
best hope is the elite teen fighter pilots of the United Star Academy. Chase is
one of only two daredevil pilots chosen to fly an experimental “Streaker” jet.
But few know the pain and loneliness of her past. All anyone cares about is
that Chase aces the upcoming Streaker trials, proving the prototype jet can
knock the enemy out of the sky.
But as the world tilts toward war,
Chase cracks open a military secret. There’s a third Streaker, whose young
hotshot pilot, Tristan, can match her on the ground and in the clouds. And
Chase doesn’t play well with others. But to save her country, she may just have
to put her life in the hands of the competition.
