Maverick USAF pilot Patrick McLannan returns in a turbocharged new adventure packed with breathtaking flying action and cutting-edge technology.

Pavel Kazakov, a Russian oil man 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…

Where the best of the best take to the skies…

Hidden in the Nevada desert is America's most advanced aerospace-weapons testing facility. 'Dreamland' is the place where the nation's top minds come to develop artillery and aircraft that push beyond the cutting edge. And where the Air Force's top guns come to test them – on the front lines of a new era in warfare.

But the fiasco of a spy's infiltration has the Pentagon looking for an excuse to close down the expensive research centre. To clean up the mess, Lt Colonel 'Dog' Bastian is sent in. He's just the guy to shake things up… and does when a crisis erupts in Somalia. Into a hotter-than-hot war zone he sends his own daughter – the pilot of a Megafortress bomber – and a high-tech, unmanned flight system that could make or break the future of Dreamland…

Dale Brown's spectacular new international bestseller – packed with high-action entertainment, cutting-edge technology and breathtaking scenes of aerial combat – looks forward to a near future where Taiwan's declaration of independence from mainland China brings a very real threat of major conflict to the Pacific

As China prepares its military response, the US president attempts to avert an international crisis by calling on his own tried and trusted secret strike force. But soon it becomes horribly apparent that with China and the USA moving ever closer to a nuclear showdown, it could be a mission too far for Patrick McLanahan, Brad Elliott, Jon Masters and their high-tech EB-52 Megafortress – the 'Old Dog' itself.

In another action-packed thriller of unrivalled authenticity, Patrick McLanahan returns from conflicts abroad to find an undeclared war exploding on the streets of America. Now retired, McLanahan works for a company developing cutting-edge strategic devices for the armed forces. But when his rookie-cop brother is shot by terrorists, he transforms himself into a high-tech weapon of war. Protected by a new carbon-filament bodysuit that can instantly harden into stronger-than-steel armour and armed with almost-superhuman powers he can barely control, McLanahan embarks on a personal mission of revenge that will send his life spiralling towards disaster.

The world is a dangerous place. Hardly a revelation, but for the new US president, nothing drives it home more forcefully than the sight of a newly nuclear Iran throwing its weight around the Persian Gulf, while the USA stands by uneasily, its military weakened by years of budget cuts and unpopular, inconclusive police actions.

But there is ono weapon he can use: the newest secret cell of the CIA, codenamed Future Flight. Take a group with speed, skill and audacity, put a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber in its hands, then send it out to find Iran’s key military, industrial and command centres, and destroy them: quickly, quietly, secretly, untraceably – the ultimate stealth attack.

Under the command of Patrick McLanahan, the team begins its mission brilliantly – and then all hell breaks loose, as Iran and its allies take their war of intimidation further than anyone dared imagine.

KIRKUS REVIEWS

Radar navigator Daren Mace has been to the gates of hell and back. In Operation Desert Storm he rightfully aborted a secret mission, only to be ostracized by the flying community as a result. Now Mace has a new role – in the Air Force Reserves at a New York air base, where he meets Rebecca Furness, the USA's first woman combat pilot. Known as the 'Iron Maiden', Furness is unlike any other aviator Mace has ever known – beautiful, tough and an ace flier.

When, halfway around the world, a border skirmish involving Russia, Ukraine and Moldova leads to low-yield nuclear devices being used, the new US president faces his toughest challenge yet. He puts the USA on full wartime-readiness footing for the first time since 1991 and sends an air combat force to Ukraine, just as the Russian president is making his own power plays. Suddenly Mace, Furness and the rest of their unit are hurtled into a dispute that goes beyond Ukrainian borders – a crisis that could lead to the horrors of all-out nuclear conflict.
