Dale Brown has written thirteen consecutive bestselling novels, but nothing that compares with the drama in this, his latest. In Wings of Fire, Air Force general Patrick McClanahan, ostracized by the government, the military, even his own family, is near the end of his rope. And its about to get worse.
North Africa is in turmoil. the new Libyan president has assassinated the new Egyptian president, and the latter's widow, Susan Salaam, vows revenge. Enlisting the high-tech help of McClanahan and his Night Stalkers, she survives an assassination attempt, assumes control of the Egyptian government, outmaneuvers the Libyan president, and all but proclaims herself queen of Arab North Africa. But the Libyans, and their scheming secret allies, are not done yet. They hold a trump card----one with deeply personal meaning for McClanahan----and it may be one that will leave even the Night Stalkers powerless.......
Filled with meticulous authenticity and exceptional storytelling, Wings of Fire is Dale Brown at his best.
