Review:
            Think about the United States. It knows everything and the intelligence is very high tech. and sophisticated. Oakgrove is a Southeast Air Defense Sector radar control team. It tracks incoming unidentified fling objects; it has to identify the airplane to find out if it’s civilian, friendly, or hostile before a certain time. If it cannot identify the UFO or if it is hostile then it will scramble F-16 waiting and Florida’s Tyndall Air Force Base to track and intercept it. This might be the job of Rick Wedan if he continues and completes flight school.
       The title of the action packed book is called Unknown Rider by Scott Anderson.
       In this book Rick Wedan, the main character, wanted to be a pilot ever since he can remember. Unknown Rider takes you through a twist of action and adventure. It will take you through a school program, and academies you have to go in to be a pilot.
            Some mornings on the loud speaker the alarm will go off. Your job is to get to your airplane and get briefed in the air about what you are going to do. You have to intercept anincoming UFO before it enters American airspace. You have to find that target and identify it. Do you think that is hard?  Well Rick Wedan has to do and he finds it extremely difficult.
            If you would like to read a book that is about airplanes, action, adventure, and/or books that will have your heart wanting to know what happens next, then you should read this book.
