Book Description

Publication Date: July 26, 2005

The beast isalive and prowling the high seas. As extremist Islamic pirates, armed and supported by a powerful Saudi terrorist, prey on civilian vessels in the Gulf of Aden, America aggressively answers with serious muscle -- a next-generation littoral warship with a full range of automated weapons systems that the enemy has dubbed "Satan's Tail." However, unforeseen technological problems combined with the suicidal tendencies of a fanatical foe mean support is needed from above -- and a pair of Dreamland's awesome Megafortresses and their Flighthawk escorts are dispatched to the war zone.But bitter professional rivalries threaten to damage, perhaps even destroy,the mission, as a vengeful opponent takes advantage of the disruption -- to strengthen his outlaw navy and set its sights horrifically high -- raising the stakes in a battle the U.S. and the world simply cannot afford to lose.

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 text refers to the Print on Demand (Paperback) edition.

This review is from: Satan's Tail (Dale Brown's Dreamland) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book had everything that a person who likes these type of books is looking for. Non stop action, multiple storylines, and it was very hard to put down once I got started. Dale Brown did a great job on this book and anyone who has liked his books in the past will love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trouble in the Persian Gulf, September 28, 2005

This review is from: Satan's Tail (Dale Brown's Dreamland) (Mass Market Paperback)

The "Dreamland " crew is back, and they're better than ever! When war rears its' ugly head in the Persian Gulf, Col. "Dog" Bastian and co. must deal with terrorists, pirates, and other assorted enemies. Making things worse is a trigger-happy Captain in command of the U.S. Navy's most advanced warship, which the Arabs have dubbed "Satan's Tail". Add it all up, and it makes for one helluva ride! My rating: 10/10.
