Description
The daredevil smokejumpers of Mount Hood Aviation do more than fight wildfires. Led by retired SOAR pilots, they fly elite operatives into places that even the CIA can't penetrate-and Charlene Thomas and Steve Mercer are the best in the business.
While battling the summer's toughest fire, the pair uncover a terrorist camp in the remote forest of Oregon. Using specially equipped helicopters and a stealth-modified drone, they take on the camp.
The mission-and the flames-are combatable.
For Steve, it's the heat from Charlene that might just scorch him to the core.
