When I wrote the original version of PILOTS DAWN in the last decade of the previous century, the world was a different place. Three manufacturers of passenger aircraft existed in the United States. Boeing dominated the global market for airliners without serious competition. Airbus, whose share of sales fell short of 20%, was considered by many experts a challenger doomed to failure—if not an outright joke. Politically, the Soviet Union had ceased to exist. The Cold War was over; the KGB had receded into history and expectations of a peaceful democratic Russia were the norm.

The audiobook's fast-paced action and bold conspiracies span the globe, but unlike most military and political suspense novels, its epicenter is not Washington, Moscow, or London. Rather, it is a small town in middle America, a town with a long, colorful history that has become a refuge of the rich and famous: Aspen, Colorado.

Dante Passoni, the long awaited Italian counterpart to James Bond, is a man of this century, not a relic of the cold war.
