A biography of the leader of the top scoring Nightfighter Squadron who risked their lives flying through darkness in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. During World War II, the job of a nightfighter was akin to a deadly game of hide-and-seek in a pitch-black sky. Each pilot’s life literally depended on his radio link to support personnel on the ground. Electrical failures could be catastrophic and engine trouble usually proved fatal. Unlike other fighter pilots, these men had zero visual perspective. Alone in a cockpit, it was easy for their minds to play tricks on them, but for nightfighters, a few moments of vertigo were a death sentence . . . No one knew this better than then-ranked Lt. Col. Marion Milton "Black Mac" Magruder. His highly classified training program required each of his "scrappers" to identify every part of the cockpit environment by sound, smell, and touch. Strict, innovative, and intense, this no-nonsense marine would lead his men to the Okinawa Campaign, in an emergency deployment after a year in combat, in the longest over-water flight of single-engined fighters in the Pacific Theatre, just to get into the fight. During their time on Okinawa and Engebi, VMF(N)533, also known as Black Mac’s Killers, experienced the worst typhoon season the island had seen in several hundred years. They also would become the target of the Giretsu, when the ruthless Japanese suicide warriors attacked Yontan Air Field, the only attack of its kind during the war. And even though the squadron arrived one month after battle commenced, the 533 held the record for all radar-intercept kills. Black Mac's Killers set many records and earned many distinctions during the war, including the Presidential Unit Citation. This biography follows Magruder through his military career, highlighting his accomplishments as leader of the top scoring Nightfighter Squadron in the Pacific Theatre.

"Perfection doesn't come in a human shell. The Calibration will tell you that. The Calibration will tell you what you are is less—that you are flawed. But I know they're wrong. I can prove it. The only question is whether I can do it before my time runs out, and I no longer remember what it is to be human…" Enter a dystopian world where humans are given the opportunity to perfect one innate skill-set, a process known as calibration, and in so doing, they trade more and more of their humanity in their quest for perfection. This mass perfection is supposed to institute equality and eliminate conflict, concern, and judgment. But the system is far from equal. Citizens are given the "option" to assimilate within 22 years, or they are scrapped—scalped and uploaded—with the whole of their knowledge streamed into the collective and redistributed. No matter what, everyone will contribute. However, those rare few who remain uncalibrated cause uproar and chaos in the system, and while she'd like to think of herself as insignificant as she fights just to remain human, Noel Cambrian quickly becomes the spark that ignites utopia.
