Set in 2022, this exciting military action thriller from bestseller Brown finds American forces still in control of Mars One, the armed Russian space station that a space-borne commando raid captured in 2019’s The Kremlin Strike. Since the Russians destroyed most of the U.S. reconnaissance satellites in the previous book, American ground forces are essentially blind, except for intel supplied by commandos who have taken over what’s now called Eagle Station. The loss of a battle in space with the Americans persuades Marshal Mikhail Ivanovich Leonov, the mastermind behind the creation of Mars One, and Li Jun, the Chinese president, that the only way they will ever beat their long-standing foe is by combining forces and controlling the newest battlefield, outer space. The key to success is amassing the special fuel needed to fuel Russian fusion reactors, which is only readily available on the moon. As the Russian and Chinese forces close in on their goal, it becomes clear that only the ingenuity of Americans can save the day. Brown’s spectacular future space weapons systems are utterly convincing. Tom Clancy fans won’t want to miss this one. Agent: Robert Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (May)

The American Space Force must battle a Sino-Russian alliance aiming to combine military and technology resources.
Retired U.S. Air Force captain Brown delivers the next chapter in the Space Force series featuring the skilled pilots, high-level politicians, and elite operatives who strive to maintain American dominance in the sky and beyond. In the spring of 2022, the U.S. Navy leads a successful war game against China near the contested Paracel Islands. Of course, a fleeting military win over China does not mean that all is secure. Concerned about Russia's bellicose behavior and their “ten-megawatt fusion power generator,” President John Dalton Farrell calls for an automated lunar mining operation to master fusion and power generation. If this can be achieved, America will maintain military and economic advantages into the foreseeable future. With China also considering mining the moon, a new type of lunar race has begun. All indications point to the fact that America is far ahead in the contest, but China and Russia form a secret pact to sabotage the U.S. program. Now, famed pilot Patrick McLanahan, his son, Brad, and Brad’s fellow spaceplane pilot (and wife) Nadia Rozek, along with the rest of the heroes from the joint Sky Masters/Scion program, must stop this sinister alliance. Along the way there will be plenty of action-filled flying time described in the type of detail that will thrill most space junkies and fans of flight.
A well-researched tale of technologically rich thrills.
