Shadows of Steel Mass market paperbound - 1997

by Dale Brown

In an electrifying thriller from Dale Brown, Colonel Patrick McLanahan and the surviving crew of the Old Dog take to the skies for a stealth mission against Iran--and failure means a new Gulf War.


Summary

In an electrifying novel ripped from today’s headlines, Dale Brown takes to the skies to deliver a covert battle in the Middle East—a battle that America can’t afford to lose.

The new gulf war is erupting…

And this one will be far bloodier than the first. A newly powerful Iran is flexing its military muscle in the Middle East. The Iranians have declared the Persian Gulf their territorial waters—and an American ship has just been sunk to prove the point.

With a military racked by budget cuts and a public reluctant to fight, the president must end the crisis before it escalates. The solution: project Future Flight, a surgical stealth campaign to silence Iran’s modern weapons. The personnel: Colonel Patrick McLanahan and the surviving crew of the Old Dog. The stakes: success—or full-scale war…
