The return of the tin man, retired USAF Brigadier General Patrick
McLanahan, Brown's chief hero among those who have saved the world
from China's invasion of the Philippines in Sky Masters, of Taiwan
in both Fatal Terrain and The Tin Man (1998), and in various novels
saved Europe from a war between Lithuania and Byelorussia, Europe
from invasion by Russia, and been on hand for Gulf War II.
Bestseller Brown's technothrillers never involve small stakes. The
man himself is civilian director of a high-tech company making
cutting-edge advances in strategic devices for the armed services.
Battle Born kicks off the Second Korean War when a joint US/South
Korean-Japanese aerial war game goes awry as South Korean pilots
break away and give a supportive attack on Communist forces facing
a massive popular uprising. Not long after, the South Koreans come
into possession of two North Korean thermonuclear gravity bombs.
Will Asia ignite WWIII? Will Dale Brown? As it happens,
technospecialist McLanahan has been training a hot-shot group of
young pilots who simmer to save the world should North Korea boldly
attack South Korea, which in itself means that, yes, China will
come the aid of a fellow Communist nation and Brown & McLanahan
be right at home fending off the Chinese Air Force. Meanwhile, how
will he romance Lt. Col. Rebecca Catherine Furness, and how will
the new EB-1 Megafortress with its amazing LADAR (laser radar)
navigation device come into play? Chockablock technotalk lifts
skyward on plottoblast as Brown flips on all the electrosensors
seeking the next Danger! Danger! Danger! signal. (Note: Brown names
as US Vice President one Ellen Christine Whiting just as New Jersey
Governor Christine Whitman gets touted for the VP slot with George
W. Bush. Now that's futurific.) (Kirkus Reviews)
The undisputed master of the aerial thriller returns to the air in a spectacular new novel, packed with high-octane flying adventure and cutting-edge technology about a world on the brink of war and a new generation of brash young heroes.
Patrick McLanahan is back. The USAF veteran's latest challenge is to turn a group of maverick young pilots into America's premier tactical strike force. But the chance to test their mettle comes far sooner than expected when the fragile peace in Asian is suddenly shattered.
South Korean fighter-bombers unexpectedly attack North Korea in support of a massive people's revolt. To the worlds surprise, North Korea surrenders, the borders are thrown open and the new United Republic of Korea is born, ready to use its reserve of nuclear warheads to defend its sovereignty – and to defy the might of China.
Enter McLanahan's raw, audacious team, sent into the fray both to protect United Korea and to stop it…
