Shadows of Steel Dale Brown 9780006498469 [USED COPY]

The new novel of breathtaking action and adventure in the skies from the bestselling author of Storming Heaven and Flight of the Old Dog.

The spectacular flying scenes, technological detail and astonishing authenticity of international bestsellers such as Flight of the Old Dog, Chains of Command and Storming Heaven have won ex-pilot Dale Brown a place at the leading edge of modern military thriller writing.

Now, in his first novel for two years, he brings back one of his most popular characters, Patrick McLanahan, at the controls of his state-of-the-art B-2 stealth bomber - in a heart-stopping tale of contemporary conflict. With Iran throwing its weight around the Persian Gulf, his latest mission, as part of a top secret CIA flying unit, is to find Iran's key military, industrial and command centres, and destroy them: quickly, secretly, untraceably - the ultimate stealth attack.

Dale Brown is a former US Air Force captain who served as a navigator from 1978 to 1986, logging thousands of hours aboard both B-52 and FB-111 bombers.

'Brown is the best military adventure writer in the country today.'
Clive Cussler

'Like the technothrillers of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and Larry Bond, the novels of Dale Brown brim with action, sophisticated weaponry and political intrigue. Far from just another technothriller, Shadows of Steel is a pulse-pounding novel of the near future.'
San Francisco Chronicle
