The Moscow Offensive

Dale Brown. Morrow, $28.99 (448p) ISBN 978-0-06-244201-7

In bestseller Brown’s rousing sequel to 2017’s Price of Duty, Capt. Brad McLanahan, Col. Wayne “Whack” Macomber, and Maj. Nadia Rozek of the Iron Wolf Squadron, who pilot cybernetic infantry devices, 12-foot-tall combat robots with “more firepower than a conventionally equipped infantry platoon,” face a new threat from Russia. President Gennadiy Gryzlov has succeeded in reverse-engineering his own cybernetic war machines from CIDs destroyed in the previous book. Gryzlov brings the fight to American soil with a spectacular attack on Louisiana’s Barksdale Air Force base, where incompetent President Stacy Anne Barbeau has gathered a display of American firepower to kick off her re-election campaign. The stakes rise as the Iron Wolf Squadron strikes back and the Russian dictator orders a retaliatory political assassination. The action builds to an exciting climactic battle between the Russian CWMs and Iron Wolf CIDs at the ranch of Texas governor and presidential candidate John D. Farrell. Brown shows once again why he stands out in the crowded military thriller genre. [em]Agent: Robert Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (June) [/em]
