The Kremlin Strike

Outer space becomes the battleground in bestseller Brown’s thrilling follow-up to 2018’s The Moscow Offensive. In the near future, the Russians, led by their unstable president, Gennadiy Gryzlov, have developed advanced aerospace weapons as part of their Mars Project that, when deployed on a new high-tech space station, will dominate not only space but the world. Having fallen behind the Russians, the Americans are desperately trying to build their own resources by resurrecting weapons that began life under Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative program. Only the skill and valor of pilots like Maj. Nadia Rozek and Capt. Brad McLanahan of the Iron Wolf Squadron can possibly offset the Russians’ technological edge. As usual in this long-running series, the combat scenes stand out, though readers should be prepared for characters straight from central casting. Brown reinforces his position at the top of the military action genre. [em]Agent: Robert Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (May) [/em]
