A despotic Russian leader builds a technologically advanced
space station with the power to decimate American satellites.
Brown (The Moscow Offensive, 2018, etc.), a former U.S.
Air Force captain, has written the next chapter in the ongoing saga of fabled
American pilots Patrick McLanahan and his son, Brad, who are ever adapting to
new advancements in techno-warfare and looming threats to the security of the
entire world. It’s spring 2021, shortly after the U.S. public voted the
incompetent president Stacy Anne Barbeau out of office. The new president, John
Dalton Farrell, has “every intention of reversing her earthbound policies of
drift, indecision, and isolationism.” Evidently, America, and the rest of the
free world, will need a strong leader because Russia—under the rule of coldblooded
autocrat Gennadiy Gryzlov—has just created a dangerous new weapon. Modeled
after a scrapped American defense initiative from the Reagan years, this
“coaxial plasma rail gun,” nicknamed Thunderbolt, could potentially make Russia
the world’s unchallenged superpower. With the American space defense slowly
revitalizing, this unchecked aggression from Russia must be stopped by Brad,
his romantic interest (and former Polish special forces soldier) Maj. Nadia
Rozek, and the Iron Wolf Squadron, an elite group of operators entrusted with
the job of protecting Eastern European allies. This action-packed techno-thriller
is filled with enough complex aerospace and aeronautical jargon to sizzle the
senses of those who spend time up in the clouds while leaving some of those
down on the tarmac dizzy with details.
A well-researched and fast-paced story that provides all the
requisite sparks to keep the pages turning.
