Check out how far 22-year-old professional officer Ian has come. No more skinny teen at Boy Scout camp.

Author’s Notes:
I’ve based a lot of Ian on myself, with some very important differences. Something much like this chapter actually happened to me shortly after I arrived in Berlin. Only I was running the Warning Center in the middle of the night, the Flankers actually did violate the border, and we really did send a CRITIC.
Every bit of the action in this chapter is authentic. At various times during my stint with the 690th ESW, we identified certain air-to-ground voice intercept as belonging to very senior Soviet generals. I’ve stripped most authentic jargon out of the dialogue just to keep it accessible for the general reader. I hope the bits I’ve peppered in aren’t too annoying.
