Act of War

release date: Oct 13, 2009
Act of War
The New York Times–bestselling author introduces a cutting-edge new hero out to stop ecological terrorists in this international techno-thriller. When a Texas oil refinery is destroyed by a “backpack” nuclear device, it’s just one of many attacks on a multinational energy company. These acts of destruction are being perpetrated across the globe by a single group determined to stop the plundering of natural resources. To stop them before the strike again, the authorities call in military tech wiz Jason Richter and his top-secret counterterrorism unit Task Force TALON. To snare his opponents, Richter knows he must beat them at their own game: unconventional hit-and-run attacks that are brutal enough to strike fear into the heart of the most dedicated terrorist. Richter must also lead the way through a series of unexpected turns that uncover a mole operating within the upper echelons of government. If Richter fails, it won’t be just the lives of his team that are lost, but America itself.

Dale Brown's Dreamland: Satan's Tail
New York Times–Bestselling Authors: When terrorists take to the sea, America attacks from the air . . . In the Nevada desert, the high-tech future of warfare is being built at a top-secret military facility called Dreamland . . . As extremist Islamic pirates, armed and supported by a powerful Saudi terrorist, prey on civilian vessels in the Gulf of Aden, America aggressively answers with serious muscle—a next-generation littoral warship with a full range of automated weapons systems that the enemy has dubbed “Satan''s Tail.” But unforeseen technological problems—combined with the suicidal tendencies of a fanatical foe—mean support is needed from above, and a pair of Dreamland’s awesome Megafortresses and their Flighthawk escorts are dispatched to the war zone. However, bitter professional rivalries threaten to damage, perhaps even destroy, the mission, as a vengeful opponent takes advantage of the disruption to strengthen his outlaw navy and set its sights horrifically high—raising the stakes in a battle the U.S. and the world simply cannot afford to lose. Acclaim for Dale Brown “When a former pilot turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class.” —Sunday Mirror “Few novelists can craft an aerial battle scene more strategically.” —Publishers Weekly “Brown puts us into the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride . . . authentic and gripping.” —The New York Times

The Battle For Control Of Iran . . . Begins In Space When a disgraced former Iranian military chief of staff engineers an insurgency that threatens to destroy the theocratic regime in Iran, a new era appears to be dawning in the Middle East. But one must be wary of old enemies . . . On the run from the Pasdaran, the theocrat''s terror army, and unable to count on support from his friends in the regular army, Iranian rebel leader General Hesarak al-Kan Buzhazi desperately turns to his old nemesis, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant-General Patrick McLanahan, for help. Unwilling to commit American forces in an Iranian civil war, and with time running out, the U.S. president authorizes McLanahan to utilize a new, top-secret fleet of globe-crossing spaceplanes, the XR-A9 Black Stallions, led by test pilot and astronaut Captain Hunter Noble. Within hours, McLanahan''s Air Battle Force turns the tide, possibly changing the course of history in the Middle East for generations. The advent of almost instantaneous global reach, along with the reactivation of America''s first military space station, Silver Tower, has rekindled fears of a space arms race, and the growing insurgency in Iran is threatening to erupt into a worldwide jihad. But McLanahan finds himself embroiled in even more bitter battles at the White House, between those who support his space-based military initiative and those who are working secretly to undermine it. When McLanahan is forced to concentrate on his political and personal battles back at home, it''s left to Hunter Noble and his team of young American space engineers to keep the fires of freedom in the Middle East from exploding completely out of control. Filled with the latest cutting-edge weaponry, geopolitical intrigue, high-flying suspense, and a colorful cast of characters, Strike Force is New York Times bestselling master Dale Brown at his best.
