Russians!

That whole warm water port this has been a Russian ambition for decades. If not for the USA, Iran would be toast

YGBSM

This book ought to be tossed out and started over. It's set in the 1980s and features a Soviet invasion of Iran and a US space ship in (scientifically impossible) orbit. POTUS micromanages worse than LBJ and Obama together. I think that the tactics might be all right; that's Brown's forte and the interaction of the missile with it's guide rails is discussed. I guess that only Navys fight wars for Brown. The crowning incredulity was when SECDEF called a 1 star general in orbit -- promoted him to 3 stars and made him work for a 2 star. That's when I skipped the middle 3/4 of the book and read the [weak] ending.

Should not have been abridged.

This is one of my favorite books since high-school. While not one of Dale Brown's more popular books, it is still a good story. This audio performance was not good at all. There were way too many sections cut out that left the listener with no context. Better off just reading it.
