Sky Masters

Author Note

Although the B-1B bomber is now officially called “Lancer,” the author will still use “Excalibur.”

Every effort has been made to present realistic situations, but all of the persons and situations presented here are products of my imagination and should not be considered reflections of actual persons, products, policy, or practice. Any similarity of any organization, device, weapons system, policy, person, or place to any real-world counterpart is strictly coincidental. The author makes no attempt to present the actual military or civil policies of any organization or government.

The author hopes readers will note the chronological setting of this novel in regards to some of his previous books, most notably Day of the Cheetah. While certain characters and backdrops in that book appear here, the events described in this book come a full two years earlier than those in Day of the Cheetah. Moreover, this book, like that one, stands completely on its own — neither a prequel nor sequel.
