Air Battle Force : - Softcover
The new adventure thriller featuring maverick pilot Patrick McLanahan from the bestselling author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG, WARRIOR CLASS and WINGS OF FIRE.
Maverick pilot Patrick McLanahan takes aerial warfare into unknown territory in a heart-racing new adventure.
Still smarting from recent losses, the brilliant but unpredictable former USAF Major General is accepted back into the fold and assigned a simple task: devise and build the air combat unit of the future. McLanahan’s answer: the Air Battle Force – a rapid-response team of elite commandos protected by state-of-the-art body armour and supported by an armada of unmanned planes.
His idea is soon put to the test when the oil-rich Republic of Turkmenistan becomes a battleground between Taliban insurgents, former Soviet overlords, Iranian opportunists and American oil companies and politicians. But can a handful of commandos half a world away, aided by an unproven force of robot warplanes, fight and win a war in which seemingly everyone – even ‘friendly’ forces at home – want them to fail?

Review:
Synopsis:
‘Clancy’s got serious company.’
New York Daily News
‘When a former pilot with years of experience turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class... far too good to be missed.’
Sunday Mirror
‘Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.’
Washington Post
‘The best military adventure writer in the country.’
Clive Cussler
