Lightning: A Political Technothriller: an action-adventure thriller

Written by M. L. Buchman

Narrated by M. L. Buchman

Miranda Chase—the autistic heroine you didn't expect. Fighting the battles no one else could win.  

Revenge? A terrorist attack? Or a declaration of war? 

The head of the Senate Armed Services Committee lies dead. The murder weapon? An Air Force jet deliberately crashed into his DC hotel room. 

Half a world away in the South China Sea, an F-35C Lightning II — America's newest fighter jet — crashes during landing. It cripples the aircraft supercarrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. An accident? Or China's next move toward world domination? 

Miranda Chase and her NTSB air-crash investigation team are spread thin as they struggle to unravel multiple horrific crashes at once — and halt a global firestorm before it burns them all. Worst of all? The next target could be Miranda herself.
