Publisher's Summary:
The cutting-edge Russian SU-39-Covert stealth bomber, with fighter capabilities years beyond anything the U.S. can produce, vanished while on a test run over the Gobi Desert. Half a world away, a dissident faction of the Chinese Red Army engineered an abduction of a top scientist, the one who developed SU-39, while he was visiting Washington. Now, Commander T.C. Bogner has his orders-retrieve the fighter and its designer within 72 hours-or else.

Good but not great
The title is a bit odd but after reading the book, it is referring to Red China and Russia and a rogue group of Chinese Communist attempting steal the new soviet SU-39 which apparently can outperform the US F-117. If it does, you never know about it.
The premise for the book was intriguing, but alas, that is where it stopped. Publishers Weekly made the comment "for Tom Clancy to step aside." I think not. The story could have really been good but the author made it a point to keep jumping back an forth with all of the "author generated" excitement. Mr. Largent keeps pushing the story instead of letting it develop on its own.
In short, rogue elements in China and Russia have ideas of grandeur. They plan on bringing down the main paties and inserting their own people in power to regain the hard line communist ideology. Along with that there is a defector in the US ranks who will do anything for money. Not a bad idea, just poorly executed.
Talking of executing, one of most glaring, ridiculous story lines occurs when two of the characters are seriously wounded. They put James Bond to shame on how they survive. It was completely unbelievable and kept draggin on.
I don't know when I bought this book, I just hope I didn't pay the list price of $6.99.
A waste of time and money
I gave up this book after about 20 pages the first time, after forcing myslef to pick it up again I managed to read it thru the end, but it just was a waste of time. I urge Mr. Largent to find another line of work.
pure excitement
looking for a great action adventure novel look no further read red skies you wont regret it
