Veil of Deception

What if the company building America’s most expensive weapons system was secretly owned by one of our enemies?
Following a terrifying jet crash, Jason Conrad finds himself on a very short list of people on their way out the door. It is a surprise to everyone when he is assigned to the home of the U.S. Air Force Flight Test Center, to an aircraft no one thinks he’s qualified for.
Attached to a secret project with a shadowy contractor, Jason is caught between two complications; an overbearing, retired general determined to see him fail; and an aggressive television reporter who wants him in prison.
When a ghost from the past shows up and a beautiful, yet mysterious woman enters his life, Jason soon discovers his special project has more secrets than anyone knows about . . . and it could cost him his life.
**Veil of Deception is the third book in the Jason Conrad USAF Thriller series! Fans of Dale Brown and Brad Taylor will love the third installment of Michael Byars Lewis’ page turning series!

**Review
San Francisco Book Review

"Lewis set up quite a tightrope to walk with Veil of Deception, and with relatively few wobbles, he makes it to the other side with style."

"Lewis' experience as a combat pilot in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan pays off with a remarkable dogfight. Such authentically written scenes set Lewis apart from his peers. With no disrespect to the talented ghostwriters that continue to write for the late authors Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum, it's time that genre fans stand up and pay attention to one of the most talented living writers in the genre today."
