Lt. Dan "Gator" Fancy is a crack Naval aviator, evidenced by the fact that he shot down five Iraqi planes on his last deployment on the carrier Enterprise. His resolve and skills are tested when he must transition from the F-14 to the F/A-18C Hornet and then to the F/A-18E Super Hornet. He must balance his passion for flying and the demands of his new assignment with his new responsibilities as husband and father.The ugly spectre of terrorism looms large as the Nimitz plys the world's seas from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, seeking to project American sea powerin an unstable world. Fancy finds himself on the cutting edge of today's headlines along with all of the men and women of the Nimitz and the ships of her battle group.
