Publisher's summary

In the near future, U.S. forces are completing their final withdrawal from bases in the Philippines. The navy of the People's Republic of China lays claim to the Spratly Islands, decimating a Philippine drilling platform when its occupants refuse to knuckle under. The confrontation quickly escalates when the Chinese use a tactical nuke to wipe out the Philippino flotilla, The U.S. Air Force counterattacks with specially equipped B-52s, B-1s and B-2 Stealth bombers, Colonel Patrick "Mac" Maclanahan of the original "Old Dog" flight playing a key role in the harrowing operation.

The narrator was terrible.

The narrator was so bad I couldn't tell you if this story was good or not. If I wanted to listen to someone who spoke like former President Nixon or some gangster from the 1920s I definitely would go watch a movie.

This Review Needs a Title...So, I

An abridged version that lasted barely two hours. It was so tactical that it would have made a good CONOPS vignette for a new weapon system -- 25 years ago. LtCol McLanahan fights a B2 with more fantastic capabilities than a 50 plane gorilla strike in a SE Pacific scenario.

I really hate abridged books...get us the full version. I really enjoy Dale Brown's Dreamland books.

Enjoyable, but too focused.

Id have liked it to touch more on the world outside of the combat. It felt like a sawed-off Tom Clancy novel, still good, just, abbreviated, less filled in. Ended kind of abruptly too. the performance was great for the American characters, but everyone else kinda sounded messed up, idk.

Sky flip

The plot is typical Dale Brown . The story kept me on The edge and I couldn't stop listening. The commentator although good, his voice impressions of American characters is not very good. His voice stereotypes the Americans as good ole boys and in some cases high string twits.

incomplete

Great author, but an incomplete book from audible really makes for poor reading by any standard.

Abridging really detracted from the story

I've read the book and they have cut so much from it that you lose too much of the plot.
Read the book or find it unabridged somewhere.
