Bad Penny Down (Gunship Book 4)

Bad Penny is on the ground in a cut, and the weather has closed over her.

Isaac Freeman, called Ike, has put in twice for Bad Penny's right door. He gets it, alongside Cal Booker, whose left arm can hold a gun on a target once and then not again. Danny Rios is an aircraft commander now, flying with Tuck Malloy in the other seat. On his first morning Ike calls movement in the grass people, and Booker takes it back off him in the same pass.

Then, out in the flat country the crews call the Washboard, with the monsoon ceiling coming down every afternoon, Bad Penny goes down in a deep cut. Rios becomes ground commander of a crew and a handful of others in a hole the enemy knows about, and the weather decides whether anyone can come.
