In the volatile waters of the South China Sea, 2029, an advanced U.S. reconnaissance drone vanishes without a trace. What should have been a routine retrieval mission for the crew of VAW-127 “Seabats” aboard the USS Harry S. Truman spirals into a deadly race against time.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Cameron “Gazer” Mitchell, new to the squadron and eager to prove himself, joins a reconnaissance flight to locate the missing drone. But as soon as they enter the search zone, their advanced E-2D Hawkeye’s radar and communications go dark—victims of a sophisticated electronic warfare attack. The crew quickly realizes they are not alone in the skies.
Back aboard the Truman, Petty Officer John Patrick Delaney and Aviation Electronics Technician Airman Danielle “Spooky” Lawson scramble to diagnose the system failures. As Spooky uncovers eerie patterns in enemy radio signals, it becomes clear that this wasn’t an accident… someone is watching, waiting, and jamming them on purpose.
With their aircraft crippled and an unknown enemy closing in, Gazer and his team must make an impossible choice: risk a blind return to the carrier or attempt a dangerous landing on a hostile island where the real fight for survival will begin.
From the decks of a U.S. Navy carrier to the shadowy battlegrounds of electronic warfare, Ghost Track is a high-stakes military thriller filled with action, suspense, and the brutal realities of modern combat.
When technology fails, instincts are all that’s left.
