Editorial Reviews

Review

'Clancy's got serious company.' New York Daily News 'When a former pilot 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 'Brown puts us into the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride. His flying sequences are terrific ! authentic and gripping.' New York Times

This story is very well written and narrated. It has enough real world facts to perk interest. It also blends the history of many generations of the B52.

No matter what Dale writes you can be confident that the story is never stale or just an extension of a previous story. he has written the dreamland series wherein each book can stand on its own or the reader get more value than the cost of the book if they read the series.
