In the thin air past the danger zone, trust is the only thing keeping them alive.
Lieutenant Charlotte "Rogue" Hayes is one of the elite-a razor-sharp Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) with a permanent home in the danger zone and a reputation for flying strictly by her own parameters. But when the high-octane environment of the Navy's Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) collides with an international crisis over the icy northern seas, the old fleet manuals are thrown out the window.
Enter Lieutenant Tom "Iceman" Kazansky. Methodical, brilliant, and ruthlessly cold under pressure, he flies by the book and expects his section to do the same. He doesn't believe in wild cards, and he certainly doesn't believe in letting down his guard. But when tragedy strikes the squadron and an unforgiving sky forces them into a lethal, high-stakes deployment, Tom and Charlotte find themselves locked in an aerodynamic ballet where individual glory means instant death.
From the claustrophobic, metal-walled corridors of the USS Enterprise to the blinding heat of the El Centro canyons, Edge of the Envelope is a sweeping story of grief, adrenaline, and unyielding military brotherhood. As the lines between duty and desire blur at Mach 2, Charlotte and Tom must learn to trust each other implicitly. Because out past the hard deck, survival isn't about the points on the leaderboard-it's about finding a wingman you would follow straight into the jet wash.
