"We just want to talk to you, Johnny," the man yelled into the darkness. "Then we'll let all of you go. But this is your last chance. If you don't come out right now, I'm gonna hurt your little scout buddies."After Johnny's scout troop witnessed a crime, he escaped into the sage brush. Commentators agreed that he did the right thing by remaining hidden, but he never quite accepted that because he could still hear the screams of his friends, pleading with him to come out of hiding and save them.Johnny now goes by Jack. He's middle-aged and comfortable. None of his church friends know he's the lone survivor of the famous Guadalupe Massacre. Even though he was psychologically scarred by that horrible event, terror is the last thing he expects in adulthood. But someone's changing that, and the stakes are much higher than in his childhood. Is meaningless, violent death Jack's destiny, or is this his opportunity to redeem his past? Whichever, the situation is about to draw him very close to God.

"On previous flight ops, when a launch was delayed, we usually passed the time telling jokes or exchanging the latest scuttlebutt. Tonight was different. Each of us sat silently with our own thoughts. All of us, I'm sure, made impossible promises to God, and I was one of them. My gut was wound so tight, it was hard to breathe, no less talk. For the umpteenth time, I tightened the harness of my chute. I remember praying, 'Whatever else happens, don't make me bail out of this thing!'" With little to no recognition from the general public, navy enlisted aircrewmen performed heroically in the Korean War. Manning radios and radar, they were indispensable to the success of missions. Aviation Electronics Technician Second Class Jack Sauter was one such aircrewman. Assigned to the USS Midway and the USS Lake Champlain, he flew twenty-one early warning and antisubmarine missions from the backseat of a Douglas Skyraider with Task Force 77 off Korea in support of our troops.From the excitement and thrill of being catapulted from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the tedium of service at sea, the author describes in detail his service in the Korean air war.
