Better than the text version

Loved the book, and looking forward to more of the authors book. Its a fun read

all action - in true James Bond style

an engaging trip in a modified B52 - detail was lacking in places but still a cracking good listen

IDK it hasn't aged so well, but meh... It was OK

I think it was the accents that really threw me off as well as the pave of some of the dialogue. Still though it was kinda fun like I remember when I read it years ago.

buff pilot

good example of technothriller author demonstrated good knowledge of the details in day to day operations of the craft

Boo

As a USAF vet I was disappointed with the story and narration. Had higher expectations.

Abridged Edition

Better if unabridged edition.
First Dale Brown book.
Story is very good technothriller.
good read.

Got better

Started real rough. No story just a bunch of military jargon. Would have put it down except I had read one of his other books. Easy to say he has gotten better from the first time

Best of the "Cold War" era books

the perfect voice for the Dale Brown series

I have been a big fan of Dale Brown's Series Dreamland. Keep them coming! I have been a big fan of Dale Brown's books ever since I discovered the Tin Man, and was a big fan of how he brought a lot of modern day technology into his writing, years before it was news.

Cold War Gets Hot

The detail with which the author describes operations might make some eyes glaze over, but it helps put you in the action in a more realistic manner. You don't flip a switch and the Buff flies itself, even today. Interesting to read about the "advanced" technology that we take for granted today, such as GPS.
