Plan of Attack
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In Air Battle Force, U.S. Air Force aerial warfare expert Major General Patrick McLanahan and his air combat unit of the future were secretly deployed to the oil-rich nation of Turkmenistan to stop a Taliban invasion. To punish the U.S.A. for their audacity, Russian president General Anatoliy Gryzlov stages a sneak attack that devastates America's strategic air forces. McLanahan has collected information that gives him the data he needs to plan a counterstrike to stop the Russian war machine dead in its tracks. But Patrick is no longer in charge of Air Battle Force, and the embattled U.S. president has few options: retaliate with every weapon in his arsenal, even if it triggers a global thermonuclear war, or agree to a cease fire on Russia's terms…or listen to a disgraced and discredited young bomber commander's long-shot plan of attack.

- content: Dale Brown, a former pilot and now master of the techno-terrorism thriller, presents a new and frightening scenario. After a sneak attack on America that devastates all its strategic air forces, the nation has the choice to engage in a retaliatory global thermonuclear war or totally surrender on Russia's terms. William Dufris, a master at narration, skillfully makes this unthinkable threat plausible by creating unique voices for the gleefully energized 19-year-old reconnaissance technician; the determined Major McLanahan, stripped of his rank because of brilliant but unauthorized military action; and the relentlessly vengeful Russian President Gryzlov. Dufris's somber sincerity makes both the plot and the staggering array of advanced weaponry chillingly believable. K.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

April 19, 2004
Longtime series hero Maj. Gen. Patrick McLanahan takes to the air again in this rousing-as-usual techno-military thriller by veteran Brown. Always the loose cannon, the general has been demoted and reassigned after sending his unmanned robo-planes against a Russian missile battery without permission. As narrated in Brown's last book, Air Battle Force
, the Taliban military, chased out of Afghanistan by American troops, has invaded Turkmenistan. The Russian Federation, reacting to the invasion and overthrow of the Russian-backed government, sends an occupying force. The Americans are part of the U.N. peacekeeping mission when the Security Council issues orders for all parties to halt military activity. The first third of the book relates the backstory and ramps up readers on all the new military hardware. Each weapons system is minutely described, and the characteristics of its employment lovingly detailed. But this minutiae fades into the background as Brown kicks on the after-burners when the nefarious president of the Russian Federation, Gen. Anatoliy Gryzlov, plans a long-range bomber attack on the U.S. mainland. The disgraced but unbowed McLanahan must convince the government and the armed services to follow his ingenious and daring plan to halt the Russian assault. The resulting battles, both in the air and on the ground, are riveting, as they are in all of Brown's books, proving once again that he is the grand master of his genre. Readers who are new to the series would be advised to dive in several novels back (The Tin Man
; Battle Born
; Warrior Class
), while those who are already up to speed can look forward to another pulse-pounding, fact-filled read. Agent, Robert Gottlieb at Trident Media.

- content: Air Force Major General Patrick McLanahan has been demoted to a desk job, but it's still a vantage point from which he can see the sudden activity at Russian bomber bases. As listeners might expect, he's the only one who can anticipate a sneak attack on American soil and--when his superiors ignore his warning--the only one who can effectively end the threat. J.K. Simmons's pulse-pounding reading puts an emphasis on action, making tense exchanges in American and Russian war rooms sound as gripping as battles. Most of his character voices are standard-issue action-novel gruff, but his subtly menacing Russian president stands out in this nightmare view of diplomacy. J.A.S.
