In this fourth novel of the Code Word series, Navy strike fighter pilot Kaycee “Pecos” Jenkins and warship skipper Mort Greenhouse face new challenges. With three kills in Mideast combat, Kaycee feels her career accelerating like her jet on afterburner. But her life beyond the cockpit isn’t locked on: her twin daughters are shutting out their often-absent mom while her husband struggles to cope with their changing needs and behaviors. And she has a secret she fears will damage her Topgun reputation. At the center of that secret are the president’s national security advisor and a woman dying of cancer. Commanding a cruiser in the Indian Ocean, Mort Greenhouse struggles to complete a mission so secret he hasn’t been told its true objective. Looming over all of them—and an American admiral with the soul of a pirate—are simultaneous threats of war in Europe and Asia.
More about
Code Word: Precipice
“Fans of Tom Clancy will especially enjoy this engaging tale of high-stakes brinkmanship that vividly plays out on the high seas and in high seats of power. As a former naval captain, Doug Norton knows this territory firsthand, and his expertise shows on every page.”
– Dan Fesperman, author of Winter Work
EXPLORE THE FULL SERIES:
The Armageddon genie -- nuclear terrorism -- is out of the bottle, freed by bin-Laden's heedless avengers and "a pissant dictator with Ray-Bans and a fondness for movies," as America's president describes North Korea's ruler a few hours before announcing a decision that will mark him forever as either a hero or a mass murderer.
Al Qaeda’s master bomber launches jihad in America. An assassination in Korea sucks China and America toward war, thrusting America’s president into a high-stakes encounter with China’s ruler. Diplomatic, military, and covert action enmesh America, China, Korea, Japan, and Iran, forcing American leaders into a struggle to defeat evil without becoming evil.
Code Word: Persepolis anticipates headlines as Iran’s uneasy neighbors maneuver to resist a new era of Persian dominance while America and China carry their own rivalry to the region. It sweeps from fighter cockpits to the Situation Room to Capitol Hill, from Washington to Tel Aviv to Tehran, pulling readers into the lives and struggles of warriors and leaders.
