About this listen

For a moment Wilson froze and looked at the white-helmeted pilot who sat high on the nose of the colossal fighter. Across the small void, he saw the pilot's eyes peer over his mask. Dark, chilling eyes. Wilson kicked right rudder to slide closer and jam any chance for a bandit gunshot. When the bandit pulled all the way over, almost on its back but in control, he cursed in frustration at what he knew was coming next. The hostile fighter reversed over the top in a negative-g maneuver, his nose tracking down on Wilson like a falling sledgehammer in slow motion. Horrified, Wilson realized he faced an imminent snapshot. With the little air speed he had, he inverted his Hornet to avoid the attack. His aircraft still rolling, Wilson saw that the monster had another weapon at its disposal.

Critic reviews

"A page turner... Raven One makes a major contribution to aircraft carrier history during difficult deployments. The author has skillfully woven the intense combat maneuvers with a fascinating human interest story." (Naval Historical Foundation)

Absolutely loved this book! A must for any military aviation fan, the detail and all round storytelling is amazing.

The narration by Corey is also very good and complements the book perfectly, I highly recommend this.

An epic naval aviation story!

I really enjoyed this, but mainly because I am learning to fly a (virtual) Hornet in DCS World. There is a lot of detail on procedures and controls that would probably slow things down too much for the general reader but for me we’re fascinating and gave a bit of colour and detail to things I had been reading about elsewhere, as well as getting a better idea of what the pilots get up to when they’re not in the cockpit.

I did grow to enjoy the characters, and found myself rooting for them. My only criticisms here are that there is little ambiguity - each is basically either a goody or a baddy with no redeeming features. Also it is hard to criticise the writing of female characters when I am male myself, but they spend much of their non-flying time thinking about men - it is a little bit cringey at times.

The flying scenes are great if you have enough background knowledge to understand what is going on. Even the non-combat scenes can have an enormous amount of tension.

Highly recommended if you are interested in naval aviation, but probably not otherwise.

Enjoyable for a very specific audience

The story had me gripped from start to finish. The characters are well described and even the smaller characters have some interesting roles and lines. The detail that the author goes into really helps to paint the imaginary picture whilst listening to the story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone especially anyone interested in aviation fiction.

Totally gripping

A truly excellent book with gripping story and lightning fast action.

The plot had me from the word go and the voice actor is excellent.

Outstanding aviation novel

The author has an amazing ability to draw a picture with his words. The detail is just fantastic. The narrator is also excellent, great voice, cadence, the lot!
I came to this book due to the military flight simulator DCS as there is a campaign based on this book. I recommend this book to any other DCS fans and to those listening to this book that haven't ever tried that flight simulator... get it, you'll probably also enjoy that 😉

Exceptional!
