KILL THE BLACKBIRD

In the midst of listening to Elvis Presleys rock and roll and the soulful tunes of Ray Charles, Americans in 1962 must deal with the grim possibility of nuclear war. Fear hovers across the land, especially when President John F. Kennedy advises the nation to build bomb shelters and stockpile food. Known only to a few is the highly experimental American surveillance aircraft, the Blackbird. In order to protect the country, despite the uncertainty of the Blackbirds capabilities and the dangerous location of its destination, the American Security Council commits U.S. spy pilot Paul Hammond to fly the Blackbird and crack Russias Iron Curtain. But the Soviets have a secret defense, one theyre willing to use even if it means a nuclear clash with the Unites States. Its up to Hammond to penetrate their defenses and save the world from nuclear holocaust. Caught in between is Rachel Cummins a Washington insider who is actually Oksana Pavlodar-a Russian spy. _,
