Book Review:
''Night of the Hawk'' by Dale Brown is the thrilling sequel to the classic bestseller Flight of the Old Dog. At the end of that terrifying mission, Lt. David Luger was left for dead on a frozen Siberian airfield—but Luger didn't die. Captured and then brainwashed, he was sent to a secret research facility in Lithuania, where he developed the first Soviet stealth bomber, the Tuman.

But the old order was changing fast, until finally the Soviet Union collapsed, and the officer in charge of Luger and the Tuman was facing disaster. Refusing to scrap his prize project, he hatched a plot to allow the now independent Lithuania to be overrun and occupied once again.

On discovering that Luger is still alive, the U.S. quickly sends a rescue team, including old crewmembers of the Old Dog—but it is too late. The desperate play for Lithuania goes ahead, and the U.S. team is trapped inside the research compound. It is a crisis that could explode into full-scale war, and as the U.S. President weighs his options, the crew of the Old Dog must devise a few plans of their own.

Brown delivers another high-stakes military thriller with intense aerial action, cutting-edge technology, and Cold War intrigue. This is a must-read for fans of the series and military aviation fiction. Highly recommended!
