Book Review:
''Air Battle Force'' by Dale Brown is an explosive new adventure that takes aerial warfare into unknown territory. On America's newest combat base, maverick pilot Patrick McLanahan and his crew are devising the air combat unit of the future—the Air Battle Force. An elite team backed by leading-edge technology, they control an armada of unmanned planes that can reach any spot on the globe within hours.

Their first target comes when an oil dispute turns Turkmenistan into an international battleground. But can a handful of commandos and an unproven force of experimental warplanes fight and win a war in which seemingly everyone—even ''friendly'' forces at home—wants them to fail?

Brown delivers another high-octane thriller filled with authentic military detail, cutting-edge technology, and intense action. The flying sequences are terrific and gripping. If you enjoy Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, or military aviation fiction, Air Battle Force is a must-read. Highly recommended!
