    About this ebook

    It was a leap of faith every time they did it, and everyone knew the odds were against them. Dropping into a deep-penetration strategic reconnaissance mission from near space took intensive training and a strong personality. The thrill is the thing, but Angela Yancey needs to get through to Jason Bridger before he kills them both. A short story.
