by Dale Brown (Author)
Maverick USAF pilot Patrick McLanahan returns in a turbocharged new adventure packed with breathtaking flying action and cutting-edge technology. Pavel Kazakov, a Russian oilman with close ties to organized crime, has an audacious plan. Build a huge pipeline through the Balkans, get the Russian army to back him and everybody gets rich. He knows there will be an outcry, but he expects little military opposition. After all, the new US President has just vowed that America will no longer be the world's policeman. But Kazakov hasn't reckoned with Patrick McLanahan. The young Air Force general is sent on a mission deep into Russia to rescue a spy. And as events spin rapidly out of control, he will have to decide whether to obey his isolationist President - or to follow his instincts and create havoc...

Sunday Mirror
`Brown has the technothriller down cold.'
USA Today
