Synopsis

In military circles it's known as Air Battle Force--an air combat unit of the future, under the command of aerial warfare expert Major General Patrick McLanahan, capable of launching stealthy, precision-guided firepower to anywhere on the globe within hours. And now McLanahan and his warriors have their first target.Driven from Afghanistan, the parasitic forces of the deposed Taliban regime have decided to feed on a new host--an isolated, oil-rich Central Asian neighbor that's ripe for the conquering. The battle for control of the world's largest oil deposits has begun, with unsteady alliances forming and opposing forces set to collide. And now a handful of American commandos half a world away, aided by McLan-ahan's unproven robotic warplanes, will have to triumph against overwhelming numbers in a war that nobody--including "friendly" forces at home--wants them to win.

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

‘Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.’
Washington Post

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