Strap in and hold on tight for the first ever first-hand account of the RAF's world-beating Typhoon jet in combat, from the Wing Commander who led them into the war against ISIS.

In 2016, the RAF's Typhoon deployed to the Middle East for the first time.

Flying a heavily armed, state-of-the-art supersonic multi-role jet, the RAF's Top Gun pilots knew the slightest error in their pinpoint strikes could have fatal consequences, and faced ever-present threat from hi-tech surface-to-air missiles. For their boss, Wing Commander Mike Sutton, the sadistic murder of an allied pilot shot down over the battleground was never far from his thoughts.

A gripping and dramatic story of modern warfare, Typhoon puts the reader into the cockpit like never before. Strap in, light the afterburners, and hold on tight...
