State-of-the-art action in the air, on land and at sea as the USA is drawn into conflict with China in this compelling and authentic new tale from an acclaimed master of the modern action-thriller.

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.

Reviews

'When a former pilot with years of experience 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... far too good to be missed.'
Sunday Mirror

'Like the thrillers of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and Larry Bond, the novels of Dale Brown brim with action, sophisticated weaponry and political intrigue... first-rate.'
San Francisco Chronicle

'The best military adventure writer in the country.'
