Loved this book. Took present day situations and added a bit of futuristic weapons to make it more interesting. Characters were really interesting, and the book was a fast and fun read.

Dale Brown continues to be the spinner of the technothriller. His knowledge of the US Military comes from having served in the USAF. He has a good grasp of current events and is able to turn out a book which is hard to put down.

I think I read one of the first in this series, but by now it's fantasy / alt history / science fiction, and he doesn't carry it off. I tossed it about 2/3 through the read, just couldn't connect. Perhaps should be classified as "juvenile SF"?

OK its not Flight of the Old Dog or any other of his books that put you in the cockpit. But this novel is a far cry from his last one. The action is intense, the scenario is as relevant as possible, and Brown offers a great blend of his past techno toys with great characters. This is a fun and fast read, an action adventure romp. The only reason I do not give it five stars is a lack of the old flight days in the megafortres or Lancer-which may never come back.
