Review Praise for The Kremlin Strike : “Brown’s look at the future of the military and potential conflicts with new technology and warfare continues to be engaging.… Fans who have grown fond of Patrick and his team will love this latest installment.” — Booklist “This action-packed techno-thriller is filled with enough complex aerospace and aeronautical jargon to sizzle the senses.... A well-researched and fast-paced story that provides all the requisite sparks to keep the pages turning.” — Kirkus Reviews “Spectacular… The action builds to an exciting climactic battle... Brown shows once again why he stands out in the crowded military thriller genre.” — Publishers Weekly “An off-the-books mercenary unit is the world’s best bet against unchecked Russian aggression.… A fun read that really shines with the author’s convincing knowledge of military aircraft.” — Kirkus Reviews “Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.” — W.E.B. Griffin “The combat scenes stand out… Brown reinforces his position at the top of the military action genre.” — Publishers Weekly “A very smart, timely, and terrifying political thriller… Current, spot-on, and full of bone-crushing action, Dale Brown’s The Moscow Offensive is one of his best novels to date, and a sure bet to please action junkies who also like heaping sides of politics and next-gen tech.” — TheRealBookSpy “Strap in, for there are shootouts on every page plus a well-choreographed climactic raid. ... A compelling, fast-paced, and imaginative techno-thriller. ... There’s so much action here it’s a wonder there aren’t bullet holes and bomb craters on every page.” — Kirkus Reviews on Price of Duty “Masterly. ... Explosive.” — Publishers Weekly on Price of Duty “Fans will find Brown in fine form here, and newcomers who enjoy top-notch military fiction will have no trouble diving into the deep end.” — Booklist on Price of Duty “All too real and eerily authentic. One of the godfathers of techno-thrillers, Brown has saved some of his best and most creative story ideas for [ Price of Duty ].” — TheREALBookSpy “A tense, atmospheric thriller with a ripped from the headlines plot, PRICE OF DUTY moves at a breakneck pace. Highly readable, enormously entertaining, its twists and turns will keep you glued to the pages.” — Karen Robards, New York Times Bestselling author “A riveting powerhouse of a novel; action on top of action, fascinating and intricate details about the latest military technology and tactics and a forward-thinking geopolitical plot that yanks the reader along by the collar and takes them on a wild ride. Exciting and intelligent entertainment.” — Mark Greaney, #1 Bestselling Author of Gunmetal Gray “The best military adventure writer in the country today.” — Clive Cussler From the Back Cover In this exciting, visionary, and all-too-plausible next chapter in Dale Brown’s New York Times bestselling techno-warfare series, Brad McLanahan and the Iron Wolf Squadron must fight the Russians on a dangerous, untested battlefield: outer space In the freezing tundra of Siberia, Russian president Gennadiy Gryzlov descends into an impenetrable subterranean base. He is there to witness the test of a terrifying new weapon—the Thunderbolt. This new techological marvel is powerful enough to change the world as we know it, and before long the entire globe will tremble in fear of mighty Russia. The previous administration’s ineffective response to the growing Russian threat has left America vulnerable. Setting a bold course for America’s defense, the decisive and strong new president, John Dalton Farrell, intends to challenge Russian aggression head on. Brad and Patrick McLanahan and the formidable Iron Wolf Squadron—including the recently injured Nadia Rozek, rested and back in fighting form thanks to a pair of state-of-the-art prosthetic legs—are ready and eager to join the battle. The Iron Wolf team is the best of the best—an elite, international group of warriors who will defend the free world at any cost. But even with their combined forces, the Russian menace may prove too great for the West to overcome. Done with provocative skirmishes and playing for small stakes, the Russian president has set his sights on the ultimate prize: controlling the entire world from above. Expanding beyond earth’s bounds, the Russians have built a new high-tech space station and armed it with the Thunderbolt—capable of destroying U.S. satellites as well as launching powerful missiles pointed at strategic targets across Earth. Devising a cunning plan of attack, Brad, Nadia, and the Iron Wolf warriors take to the skies in their advanced space planes to destroy the space station, check the Russians’ plan for dominance, and save the world. But is it already too late? With Dale Brown’s signature nonstop action and breathtaking battles, The Kremlin Strike is a high-stakes thrill ride you won’t want to miss.

Not as good as prior novels in this series

I just did not find this novel as compelling as Brown's previous novels in this series - still it got four stars, just not five, as I have given to him previously.

This time our band of happy heroes go into space (again) to fight those dastardly Ruskies. This series of books started back in the late 1980's and is still going strong.

At least the series got rid of that idiotic character, US President Barbeau, and in this novel, the US is being led by President Farrell, a straight talking Texas oil wildcatter. So, there is less DC political BS in this novel, which is replaced by the BS surrounding the President of Russia - Gennadiy Gryzlov.

Skymasters and the Iron Wolf squadron again use the latest and greatest technology to defeat the Russians, who have come up with a couple of technical advances of their own.

As with all Dale Brown novels - we win.

A good solid addition to the ongoing saga, but just not really five star material.

Too much detail; would have been much better concentrating on the plot.

I gave up on Dale Brown's writing some time ago, but this was a gift I couldn't refuse. What didn't I like? Ten pages in a simulator (trainer) like it was real! Women everywhere performing like men (I don't dislike women in action, but they seemed to be everywhere, even in Russia)! Measurements in foreign language: meters, kilometers, whatever! Russian conversation in English, but throwing in Russian (and maybe other language) comments and repeating in English for guys like me! And a small force capturing MARS ONE? The reason why they wanted it, but capturing it was a stretch! Just too much filler all around the single plot: defense against MARS ONE!
