Silent Death Tech: Warhounds (1996)

Overview

From the back cover:

Escorts do the grunt work.. " Yeee-Haw!" came the scream across the headset. " Pipe down; Mike, some of us are trying to concentrate!" Will yelled back as he squeezed off another salvo of missiles toward the fleeing Imperial Nighthawks. "We have 'em on the run. Don't let 'em get away." "They're trying to use that moon for cover." " Mike take your wing left to cut them off" "Will, it..."

A flash of blue light lit the canopy as the Talon exploded. Will glanced at the moon. Rising from its horizon came the imposing silhouette of a Mega-fortress.
