FREEPORT, Ill., Nov. 25, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Stealth fighters and satellite-tracking missiles have taken over the military world. Gone are the days when pilots have the sole responsibility of tracking down a target and taking careful aim based simply on their own initiative. Modern weaponry, such as over the horizon missiles, has arrived, although military critics speculate that an over-reliance on these machines could signal the downfall of a nation. Such is the case presented in Daniel Hutmacher's novel, "A Maverick's War" (now available through 1stBooks Library).
Frightful as it may seem, but this is the dilemma Hutmacher paints in "A Maverick's War," where the United States' dependence on electronic arsenal may turn out to be one of its biggest faults. The story revolves around Brad Johnson, the pilot who has the highest score in the Taiwan war. Hutmacher details the challenges that face Johnson in his quest to prove that a fighter squadron (known as the Ninjas) is more battle efficient with line of sight missiles than with over the horizon missiles, once considered as reliable weapons of war.
"A Maverick's War" takes readers to the heart of intensive military combat operations. Fast-paced and loaded with tons of action, "A Maverick's War" mixes modern science with intricate military tactics -- an effective and explosive combination that will leave readers in awe. While "A Maverick's War" is a very entertaining read, and its military significance cannot be ignored.
Daniel Hutmacher has devoted most his time to the armed forces and considers himself a life-long student of military history. He graduated from Freeport High School in 1984 and went to the army afterwards. He served as an army tank crewman for three years, and then went to college, where he earned his bachelor's degree in history in 1991.
