Francois Akolo and Tristen Suddreth survived the brutal heat of combat in Afghanistan, and now, a decade later, they've been given the honor of joining the elite U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Together, they defy gravity as they perform jaw-dropping aerobatic displays for audiences around the world, their bond forged in battle and tested by the sky. But when global tensions erupt and the world teeters on the brink of a third world war, their carefully constructed lives-and the fragile love between them-are thrown into chaos. Forced to fly through life-threatening missions and face unimaginable danger, Francois and Tristen are pushed to their limits, their emotions tangled in the high-speed thrill of combat and the aching distance between them. As the threat of war grows ever closer, the two pilots must navigate deadly skies, the weight of duty, and the lingering hope that someday, somehow, they'll find their way back to each other-before it's too late. Thunder in the Skies is a high-octane, emotionally charged story of love, loyalty, and survival. With heart-stopping action and the unbreakable camaraderie of brothers in arms, it's a tale of two men who risk everything to serve their country-and discover that love, is worth fighting for.
