Antonov-225 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781965552605)

Antonov-225 by Joe W. Boyou Sr. is a powerhouse of heart, history, and high-stakes storytelling-an explosive new novel from an author whose own life embodies resilience and courage. Joe W. Boyou Sr., a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and the brilliant mind behind the memoirs A Life of Resiliency and Six by Nine: Memoirs of a Corrections Officer, brings both lived experience and emotional truth into this gripping work of fiction. From surviving civil war in West Africa to building a new life in America, Boyou writes with the depth of someone who has fought battles both personal and global. Now a counselor in human services, a husband, and a father of three, he continues to chase his dream of becoming a New York Times bestselling author-and Antonov-225 is a stunning leap toward that goal.

At Bookwrights House, we are incredibly proud to present this extraordinary novel to readers worldwide. Antonov-225 sweeps you into the escalating tensions in Ukraine, where the iconic Antonov-225 "Mriya"-the world's largest aircraft and a symbol of national pride-stands at the center of a geopolitical storm. What begins as a family visit for American pilot Harvey Arnott quickly spirals into a deadly labyrinth of espionage and survival. His near-fatal encounter on the streets of Kyiv is only the beginning as Russian operatives emerge from the shadows and Ukraine's fate hangs in the balance. Through razor-sharp tension, heartfelt moments, and cinematic action, Boyou honors a nation's courage and the unbreakable spirit of those who rise when everything is at risk.
