The story is centered around a private island in the heart of the Bahamas. The owner of the island owns a Company with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They have developed an aircraft way ahead of anything known to exist. Scott Wilson lands on the island after escaping capture by two drug runners. His history surfaced when the owner of the island was looking for a pilot to fly the new aircraft but was dropped because he was married. Now he was bumming around the country and islands in an attempt to recover from the loss of his wife to cancer a year ago. The owner, Mr. R, now offered him the position. By flying missions against terrorist groups and a rescue of a cosmonaut in the space station he was able to establish that his aircraft was not flown by the US or Russia. Instead, it was flown by a country called PIOT which stands for PEACE IN OUR TIME. This is the name they gave the island. No one could find the location of this country which allowed him to fly against any country that supported terrorist activities. He became acquainted with the US Air Force Chief Of Staff and his beautiful widow daughter. A romance began while he was bombing North Korea, Iran and various terrorist locations.
