Uncertain of the rightness of his latest contract, Patrick
McLanahan has to face loss, defeat and great personal danger in
Dale Brown's most recent thriller. Action by McLanahan's team over
Libya leads to violence breaking out in North Africa as extremists
threaten oil interests in the area and place Arab hopes of unity at
risk. The threat is not just of instability but of annihilation by
neutron bomb and other terrorist means. The organization McLanahan
works for, Sky Masters Inc, which has acted independently and
worldwide against criminals of all kinds in the past, is also at
loggerheads with its own government in Washington as America's role
round the world is reassessed, and attempts are made to restrict
the group's independence, shut them down and even arrest McLanahan.
Plot and counterplot feature a large cast of characters: an old
enemy is revealed, new alliances are formed and there are terrible
battles to be fought - and sometimes lost - with many close shaves
before peace is restored and McLanahan's contribution, with help
from unexpected sources, is acknowledged. But the outcome is not in
doubt when the heroes are multi-talented and have such amazing
battle armour, deadly laser beams, warplanes and even subcutaneous
micro-transmitters at their disposal. It is the formula as before,
an exciting grown-up Boys' Own story, but a very successful one. As
an ex-army pilot, Dale Brown knows his technical stuff and the
action is fast and furious. This thriller will delight his large
readership. (Kirkus UK)
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, 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 power struggle between North Africa's rulers. In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must quickly decide where his loyalties lie. For it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan's final battle.
"When a former pilot 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"
