"Cyberstealth pilots, the best of the breed. The only problem: One's a traitor...
"Cargo's a down-and-dirty street kid with a cras-and-burn future -- until the Bishop offers him a shot at the stars. A chance to fly a batwing, the ultimate in stealth technology. A ship as much at home at sea level as in deepest space, it is the deadliest fighting machine mankind's ever created.
"Cargo's the pilot; the alien Ghoster, his eyes. They're the elite, a top-gun team fusing their skills and talents with a machine that knows no limits. It's the dream of a lifetime.
"But street rules apply to the stars as well -- and even ace jobs don't come free.
"First, there's a war to be fought. Then, the death of a friend closer than a brother. And someone in Cargo's squadron is a spy... one who's leaking stealth technology to the enemy". [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1989]
"Vivid glimpses of high-tech hardware, and the black paranoid universe of a military at war". --David Drake.
