Description

Patrick McLanahan and his team embark on a high-tech battle against crime in the USA - in the spectacular new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Flight of the Old Dog and Fatal Terrain. The master of military adventure creates the ultimate one-man army... In another action-packed thriller of unrivalled authenticity, former pilot Dale Brown brings back his ever-popular hero Patrick McLanahan - this time at the centre of an undeclared war exploding on the streets of America. Now retired, McLanahan works for a company developing cutting-edge strategic devices for the armed forces. But when his rookie-cop brother is shot by terrorists, he transforms himself into a high-tech weapon of war. Protected by a new carbon-filament bodysuit that can instantly harden into stronger-than-steel armour and armed with almost-superhuman powers he can barely control, he embarks on a personal mission of revenge that will send his life spiralling towards disaster.

Reviews

'Clancy's got serious company.' New York Daily News 'When a former pilot with years of experience turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class! far too good to be missed.' Sunday Mirror 'The best military adventure writer in the country.' Clive Cussler 'Dale Brown has the techno-thriller genre down cold! Brown finely etches all the details the plot's tightly bolted together.' USA Today
