A confrontation between the U.S and China threatens to erupt into all-out war. As the U.S. withdraws from the Philippines, China slips in to fill the power vacuum and lays claim to tiny, uninhabitable oil-rich islands in the South China Sea. The Philippines also claim the islands, so China's navy decimates a Philippine drilling platform when its occupants refuse to knuckle under. A shooting war ensues, bringing America into the fray. The U.S. Air Force counterattacks with specially equipped B-52s, B-1s, and B-2 Stealth bombers. Lieutenant Colonel Patrick "Mac" McLanahan of the original "Old Dog" flight crew plays a key role in the action-packed, harrowing operation.

      Brown's expertise in depicting modern sea-air combat makes his latest techno-thriller a heavy contender for a hot summer read. In 1994, confrontation between China and the Philippines over the oil-rich Spratly Islands flares into a shooting war. A nuclear strike on the Philippine navy brings America into the game, and an anxious president commits the First Air Battle Wing, whose core is a force of B-52s, B-1s and B-2 Stealth bombers crewed by the elite of the Strategic Air Command, to smash a Chinese invasion fleet heading for Mindanao. Brown's presentation of the Sino-Philippine dispute is unconvincing, and his two-dimensional characters, including Air Force Col.Mac MacClanahan

      While Brown's scenario of a 1994 seems farfetched, his ability to depict technological warfare makes this an exciting war story.
