The Twisted Cross — Mack Maloney

FREEDOM'S CHALLENGE

The savage Russian sneak attack that reduced the United States to a nuclear-blackened wasteland is now history. Under the leadership of a fearless jet fighter pilot, the armies of freedom have rescued their besieged nation from the brutal clutches of the Soviet . warlords. An awesome gladiator of the skies, he arose from the ashes to revive a forgotten dream called "America." He is Hawk Hunter, WINGMAN!

But a terrifying new threat looms near the country's southern border. "The Twisted Cross," a power-hungry neo-Nazi organization, plans to destroy the Panama Canal with nuclear time bombs unless their war chests are filled with stolen Inca gold. The only route to saving the strategic waterway is from above--as Wingman takes to the air to rain death down upon the Cross' South American jungle stronghold and save the kidnapped daughter of the one man who can end the madness. For if the murderous fanatics are allowed to flourish, the newly reborn U.S. could die in infancy!
