Night of the Hawk (Patrick McLanahan, #2)

"In 1988, after a breathtaking raid into Soviet territory, Flt Lt David Luger sacrificed himself to save his friends. They escaped to safety, and Luger was left for dead in deepest Siberia. But Luger didn't die. Captured and then brainwashed, he was sent to a secret research facility in Lithuania, where he developed the first Soviet stealth bomber, the Tuman. But the older order was changing fast. The Soviet Union collapsed, and the officer in charge of Luger and the Tuman was facing disaster. Refusing to scrap his prize project, he hatched a plot to allow the mow independent Lithuania to be over-run and occupied once again. On discovering Luger is still alive, the US quickly sends a rescue team, including old crewmembers of the Old Dog - but it is too late. The desperate play for Lithuania goes ahead, and the US team is trapped inside the research compound. It is a crisis that could explode into full-scale war, and as the US President weighs his options, the crew of the Old Dog must devise a few plans of their own."--Cover.
