Synopsis

Maverick USAF pilot Patrick McLanahan returns in a new adventure, as the master of the aerial technothriller tackles a story as cutting-edge as tomorrow’s headlines.

The world is falling apart and there are plenty of people willing to take advantage. One of them is Pavel Kazakov, a Russian oilman with close ties to organized crime and an audacious idea: build a huge pipeline through the Balkans, get the Russian army to back him and everybody gets rich. Though NATO will object, the new American President’s emphatic policy of isolationism will guarantee no effective opposition. Russia will dominate Europe. Kazakov will dominate the oil supply.

But Kazakov hasn’t reckoned with Patrick McLanahan. The young Air Force general leads a combat mission deep into Russia – until he is put in check by the President himself. Soon McLanahan and his team find themselves faced with a dire choice. Which is the greater threat: the dangerous empire in front of them – or the dangerous President at home?

About this title

Review:

‘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

‘Brown has the technothriller down cold.’ USA Today

‘Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.’ Washington Post

‘The best military adventure writer in the country.’ Clive Cussler
