Chancellor "Chance" Symons II was a decorated Marine Corps fighter pilot-a TOPGUN grad steeped in the non-PC battle-hardened mold of hard drinking, hard partying fliers who were known to Tease the Bear from time to time. He is brought back to active duty to command VFC-46, Det A, an eclectic mix of fourth generation F-5, F-15, F16, and F/A-18 fighters manned by the hottest sticks in the business. Their mission-teach the latest fifth generation F-22 and F-35 stealth pilots a thing or two about dog fighting.Behind the scenes political wrangling the Secretary of the Navy-who developed the concept-and the Commandant of the Marine Corps-who is convinced it is a great waste of money-threaten his newfound opportunity to yank and bank with the best of them. Will Chance's fondness for strong drink and beautiful women derail his dream job before the budget ax falls? Can any fourth generation fighter really beat the magic new jets? What will he make of his SECOND CHANCE?
