About This Item

New York: Harper, 2011. First Harper Premium Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. Good. xxxv. [1], 421, [7] pages. Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 7.25 inches. Cover has some wear and soiling. Dale Brown (born 2 November 1956) is an American writer and aviator known for aviation techno-thriller novels. At least thirteen of his novels have been New York Times Best Sellers. Brown joined the Air Force ROTC while in college. He received a commission in the United States Air Force in 1978. He was a navigator-bombardier (now known as a weapon systems officer (WSO)) in the B-52 Stratofortress G-model long-range heavy bomber and the FB-111A Aardvark medium range fighter-bomber. Brown received several military decorations and awards, including the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Combat Crew Award, and the Marksmanship ribbon. He rose to the rank of Captain and has 2,500 hours of flight time in B-52s. He left the Air Force in 1986, having never seen combat. While still in the Air Force at Mather Air Force Base, he wrote his first book, Flight of the Old Dog. When America develops the most powerful defense system in history, will it be used to protect the nation--or will it be used to force universal domination? This question must be answered in the stillness of outer space and the corridors of the White House. The United States has just unleashed the most powerful weapon in history--a missile-launching satellite called Thor's Hammer that can strike anywhere on the planet in seconds. Now the United States stands unchecked in military dominance. The world's other major superpowers, Russia and China, are rocked by America's development, and they scramble to respond by gaining control of the seas. Pakistan and the Middle East decide to give China strategic naval advantage by granting it access to Middle Eastern ports. China responds by setting up missile pads that can target U.S. naval ships across vital sea-lanes in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden, as well as any ships transiting the Suez Canal. Now the U.S. security is in total jeopardy. When Chinese and Russian spacecraft surround an American space station, the threat is clear: negotiate and compromise, or China and Russia will cripple the U.S. Navy with ballistic missiles. A suspenseful conclusion follows!
