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.
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
