The Twilight of the Day is a totally believable, U.S. fighter pilot-themed international political thriller. It's a story steeped in historical fact, delivering on a promise to keep the reader in suspense until the very last page. In 1973, U.S. Navy fighter pilot Captain James Vincent Trader and nine other prisoners of war were sold to a rogue state by the North Vietnamese for $70 million. The clandestine transfer took place just hours before the peace treaty was signed in Paris.

Who was the buyer, and what was expected of these men? The answer is to be found in a closely guarded secret held by this extraordinary fraternity of warriors. The Twilight of the Day is a story told with a dark forewarning: "Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.".
