Natasha "Phoenix" Trace can handle pressure. She's flown through fire, faced the best pilots in the Navy, and held her own every step of the way. But nothing prepared her for being back at Top Gun-working under Maverick, training for a near-impossible mission, and being stuck with him. Jake "Hangman" Seresin. Her rival. Her mistake. Maybe... her almost. With lives on the line and her heart caught in the crossfire, Phoenix must choose between flying solo and finally letting someone in. This is Top Gun: Maverick in Phoenix's POV.
