About this ebook

Russia teeters on the brink of collapse, spoiling for a battle to end all wars. All it needs? One thin excuse.

World War I began with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. World War II launched with the invasion of Poland. As for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine…

A Russian flyby of an American CMV-22 Osprey tiltrotor goes desperately wrong over the North Sea. Will the tipping point for World War III break the moment a favored daughter of the Oligarchy goes down in flames?

When the NSA’s secret military base at Menwith Hill in the UK needs specialized expertise, they call in Miranda Chase. She and her elite team of air-crash investigators must avert a crisis like none before. A crisis that unravels her past, batters at her autism, and threatens to crush her team in the ultimate grinder of East vs. West.

Ratings and reviews

I LOVE this series. Although I don’t know aircraft, it has not stopped me from being totally engaged from the first word to the last in ALL of the books about Miranda Chase. Just finished Osprey, and like all the rest, wish it were twice as long. Looking forward to the next book. Keep on writing. The twists in the characters that come and go keep it compelling. I highly recommend this series, but read them in order.

I could not stop reading this! With typical Buchman flair, Osprey puts the reader into a very realistic, almost too realistic scenario, with the US and Russia again on the cusp of war. I love and hate that I could see this book play out in the real world. It's scary to imagine the ease with which the next World War could start. I love the characters and did not see some of the twists and turns coming. This wasn't just a minor surprise, but poor Miranda got put through the wringer. I would suggest anyone pick up a copy of Osprey, but would also advise you start from the beginning to get the most out of the character development. This series keeps me on the edge of my seat and engaged until I skip dinner to finish reading!
