Synopsis

Maverick USAF pilot Patrick McLanahan is caught up in explosive events in the Middle East in this new high-action adventure from the bestselling author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG and WARRIOR CLASS.

· Patrick McLanahan flies into a storm of troubles in a spectacular new thriller, packed with high-adrenalin flying action and adventure.

Ostracised by the government, the Air Force and even his own family, aerial combat expert Patrick McLanahan has reached rock bottom. Or so he thought. While testing cutting-edge weapons in the skies over Libya, he and his private team are drawn into a treacherous struggle between northern Africa's power-hungry rulers. In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must finally decide where his loyalties lie – and soon. For despite all the power at his command, it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan’s final battle.

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 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

From the Back Cover:

In North Africa, three power-hungry rulers battle over control of a vast untapped Egyptian oil reserve. One wants revenge, one wants wealth, the third wants justice. As the tension rises, retired US Air Force general Patrick McLanahan enters the fray with his fleet of ultra-high-tech flying battleships, carrying the world's first operational airborne lasers. But the battle turns ugly, then deadly, and McLanahan's forces are routed and sent scurrying for safety into the desert.

Patrick begins to realise that once a man has lost everything he holds dear, the meaning of fighting, winning – and dying – changes completely. The conflict becomes unclear and the lines between friends and enemy blur. But by the time he finally learns the truth about loyalty, friendship and duty, it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And despite all the power at his command, this may be Patrick McLanahan's final battle.

"When a former pilot with years of experience in America's Strategic Air Command 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

"Like the thrillers of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and Larry Bond, the novels of Dale Brown brim with action, sophisticated weaponry and political intrigue...first rate."
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONCILE

"Brown is the best military adventure writer in the country – a master."
CLIVE CUSSLER

"Dale Brown is a superb storyteller."
