Book Review:
''Shadows of Steel'' by Dale Brown is a pulse-pounding novel of the near future. The world is a dangerous place, and for the new U.S. president, nothing drives it home more forcefully than the sight of a newly nuclear Iran throwing its weight around the Persian Gulf, while the U.S.A. stands by uneasily, its military weakened by years of budget cuts and unpopular police actions.

But there is one weapon he can use: the newest secret cell of the CIA, codenamed Future Flight. Take a group with speed, skill, and audacity, put a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber in its hands, then send it out to find Iran's key military, industrial, and command centers, and destroy them—quickly, quietly, secretly, untraceably. This is the ultimate stealth attack.

Under the command of Patrick McLanahan, the team begins its mission brilliantly—and then all hell breaks loose, as Iran and its allies take their war of intimidation further than anyone dared imagine.

Brown delivers another high-octane thriller filled with cutting-edge technology, intense action, and political intrigue. If you enjoy Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, or military aviation fiction, Shadows of Steel is a must-read. Highly recommended!
