First in a new series from New York Times bestselling

author Dale Brown, featuring U.S. Air Force intelligence officer Nick Flynn on

the hunt for Russian commandos in the mountains of Alaska.

After a CIA covert mission goes badly awry, U.S. Air Force

intelligence officer Nicholas Flynn is exiled to guard a remote radar post

along Alaska’s Arctic frontier. This dead-end assignment is designed to put his

career permanently on ice, but Flynn’s not the type to fade quietly into

obscurity...

As winter storms pound Alaska and northern Canada, Russian

aircraft begin penetrating deep into friendly airspace. Are these rehearsals

for a possible first strike, using Russia’s new long-range stealth cruise

missiles? Or is some other motive driving the Kremlin to take ever-increasing

risks along the hostile Arctic frontier separating two of the world’s great

powers?

When an American F-22 collides with one of the Russian

interlopers, things go south fast—in seconds, missiles are fired. There are no

survivors. Despite horrific weather, Flynn and his security team are ordered to

parachute into the area in a desperate bid to reach the crash sites ahead of

the Russians. It’s now obvious that the Pentagon and CIA are withholding vital

information, but Flynn and his men have no choice but to make the dangerous

jump.

Soon they’re caught in a deadly game of hide-and-seek with

Spetsnaz commandos operating covertly on American soil. It seems that the F-22s

and their Russian counterparts aren’t the first aircraft to have gone missing

in these desolate mountains. The Kremlin is hunting for the first prototype of

its new stealth bomber—which vanished on what was supposed to be a test

flight…while loaded with nuclear-armed stealth cruise missiles.

As Russia and the U.S. square off on the brink of

all-out-war, it’s up to Nick to find the missing bomber…and prevent a potential

nuclear holocaust.

Loved this story. I'm sure this will be mentioned by other reviewers, but the plot is not unlike Hunt for Red October, only change out submarines for stealth bombers. That it's a tried storyline doesn't matter in the least. This is a tight, fast-paced story that has great characters and does terrific justice to the story's setting. It feels like you're up north, and as a Canadian, I can say that enjoyed how he captured NORAD and how Canada and the US jointly support the defence of the continent.

The story is fast-paced, the main character's story arc is interesting, believable and well-executed. Most important, he's not a superhero, which I always like to see. There are also lots of jets and bombers in this tale and Brown does an exceptional job of balancing technical details with the story.

Finally, the narrator of this story is very good. He does accents very well and his pronunciation was spot on.

A Great Ride!

The storyline was very good but all the military jargon could have been dialled back for a more general audience. Having to look up explanations thru a PDF was annoying and wasted good reading time. I understand an author wanting to thank all those who helped him/her but perhaps this could have been done at the end rather than at a very long introduction at the beginning.

Could have been better
