Product Description
Review
‘Clancy’s got serious company.’
New York Daily News
‘When a former pilot turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class … far too good to be missed.’
Sunday Mirror
‘Brown puts us into the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride. His flying sequences are terrific … authentic and gripping.’
New York Times

Format:Paperback
I believe this is the 5th in the Dreamland series and readers of the previous book Piranha will notice that the story continues on from that novel. Whether or not this is a good thing will depend on how much the reader likes the previous book (I found it mostly average except for the spectacular last fifth of the story). I feel the fact that the plot concerns the relations between China and Taiwan limits my interest in the aircraft and battles which take place in the story. In all it just seems like the story has been stretched to fill out two books and unfortunately this one is less interesting and believeable than the previous chapter. At no point does the reader glimpse the excitement that was so obvious in the original Dreamland title.

Another great reader
18 Mar 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Although I have never been a fan of the double author book idea, Dale and Jim seem to have a good thing going here. Strike Zone continues the main characters as they continue to provide the President with options without an all out war. The story opens up slower than the other novels in this series, but as always, the action scenes are fantastic. As a first reader, this one would hold it's own, and if you have the others in the series, it's a MUST HAVE.

SUSPENSE FILLED LISTENING
2 Feb 2004
Dale Brown, popular author who has penned fourteen New York times bestsellers, is a former Air Force bombardier. He's an ace pilot as well as a first-rate author. Teaming with Jim DeFelice the pair offer a suspenseful high-tech military thriller.
A dynamite performance by JK Simmons makes sparks fly from the opening lines of this action packed tale.
Far out in the Nevada dessert some of the best minds are focused on warfare in the future. Dreamland force has had their hands more than full in stopping an Asian war that could have been a nuclear holocaust destroying the world as we now know it.
However, an even greater challenge is soon to arrive - radar detection shows there is a major threat nearby. It's a robot warplane capable of unheard of destruction. The "ghost clone" as it is called has no known origin but more than one of them could turn our world into a fiery inferno.
How can this warplane be found and stopped?
A complexly devised plot makes for nonstop listening.

Republished - original came out in 2004

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book because the Amazon information says it's new (released 1/31/12). But in reality, this work was originally published in 2004 by Avon books, this is a reprint by Harper Publishing. It's a good story but if you read it in 2004 you don't need to buy it again.
