Summary

Bristling with authenticity and authority, White Lie is military-thriller writing of the highest calibre.

John Winter thought his flying days were over. But when his new life falls victim to dirty, distant war, Winter’s unique skills, honed over years in the military, mean someone’s going to pay. The CIA black-ops wing is only too happy to let a former British combat pilot, SAS man and mercenary with nothing left to lose make sure they do. Sent on a covert, deniable mission to South America, Winter faces a ruthless and powerful enemy. Success or failure will come down to his ability to lead a rag-tag air force from the cockpit of a lethal but battleworn British jet fighter: the English Electric Lightning F6.

A must read.

A fantastic book and performed just brilliantly. It’s fast paced and action packed. The characters have real depth and I made an instant connection with them. If you are a fan of Tom Clancy or Mike Lunnon-Wood you will love this. I will be recommending this to all my friends!

Excellent Yarn ...

An interesting scenario but the author knows his stuff. Well read by Malk Williams... Good technical descriptions add to the story.

Fast paced and good Storyline

Escapist fiction is all about good triumphing over evil, as far as I'm concerned. And this meets that criteria.

human story, no superhero semantics

Great story, winter isn't a superhero but a retired operator with lessening physical powers helped by mental strength from age and experience.

Far fetched & too political

I got board not just with the politics but with all the flying sequences clothed acronyms

Not for me

I couldn't get into the story, I was over half way through, had to stop, the storyline didn't make sense and too many characters I didn't buy into, just wasn't for me.
