Here’s the set-up:

General Trusten Polk’s F-16 explodes on takeoff in Denver. Within hours he’s exposed as an impostor, a war hero politician controlled by others.

As Captain Boyd Chailland, the pilot member of the accident board uncovers Polk’s lonely private life he finds another pilot from Polk’s past knows all his secrets and is leaking them to the press.

Congressman Roscoe Kelly is tied to bank fraud and other politicians with ties to Polk duck and weave. The press smells blood and government corruption dominates the news cycle. Is The Other Pilot a patriot or a criminal? Where did all that money come from?

Boyd rushes to find The Other Pilot, as signs point to a criminal mastermind with a lust for revenge.

The spark to set off civil war in America is on a ranch in west Texas. Boyd, his English teacher lover, his flight surgeon pal, a vintage aircraft enthusiast with a restored P-51 Mustang, and a small town sheriff are the nation’s last line of defense.

Ed Baldwin has lived in every southern state except Mississippi, and he spent the night in jail there once. That was the origin of his first novel, “Bookman,” which is about a door to door salesman traveling the Mid-South during the turbulent 1960′s.

Ed was a small town family doctor and Air Force Reservist until he was recalled to active duty for the first Persian Gulf War in 1991. Already a published author, he spent the next 19 years seeking assignments and experiences he could use to write adventure fiction.

Ed’s critically acclaimed second novel, “The Other Pilot” was published by Brasfield Books in 2012. It’s a political action thriller with a military aviation background. Ed considers himself a Southern writer, and his genre Southern Adventure Fiction.

“The Devil on Chardonnay” is Ed’s third book and it is scheduled for release in late Spring 2013. Capt. Boyd Chailland, now a series character, returns to battle the forces of evil as a sinister new sickness erupts from the Congo basin.

Ed and wife Becky are planning a trip to Central Asia to gather material for the third novel in the Boyd Chailland series, “The Mingrelian.” Armenia and the Republic of Georgia are the exotic locations for this scariest of all the Chailland stories. Watch for it in early 2014.
