A review by house_of_scatha
Ascent by Jed Mercurio

3.0

I loved the conceit of this novel: a Soviet pilot - an Ace of Aces who flew a clandestine war in Korea, and therefore cannot receive the fame (infamy?) that he so craves - is offered another mission, as clandestine as the war he fought. Really nicely put together and certainly thought-provoking about a man's achievements and reputation (and desire for the same).
