D A L E B R O W N

“The best military writer in the country today.”

Clive Cussler

“Brown puts us in the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride… . [His] flying sequences are terrific. Authentic and gripping, they will have you breathing a bit heavily.”

New York Times Book Review

“The talk makes Brown’s novels authentic.

What makes them riveting is the rapid pace and headline urgency of his plots.”

San Francisco Chronicle

“[His] richness of detail will appeal to the many readers taken with military weaponry, air combat, and the Byzantine secrets of military command.”

Chicago Tribune

“One of the premier writers [of] techno-thrillers.”

Virginian-Pilot

“Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.”

W.E.B. Griffin

for putting his millions of fans into the middle of his action stories … His knowledge of world politics and possible military alliances is stunning …

He writes about weapons beyond a

mere mortal’s imagination.”

bringing life to his characters

with a few deft strokes.”
