The Kremlin Strike: A Novel (Brad McLanahan, 5) - Softcover

In this exciting, visionary, and all-too-plausible next chapter in Dale Brown’s New York Times bestselling techno-warfare series, Brad McLanahan and the Iron Wolf Squadron must fight the Russians on a dangerous, untested battlefield: outer space

In the freezing tundra of Siberia, Russian president Gennadiy Gryzlov descends into an impenetrable subterranean base. He is there to witness the test of a terrifying new weapon—the Thunderbolt. This new techological marvel is powerful enough to change the world as we know it, and before long the entire globe will tremble in fear of mighty Russia.

The previous administration’s ineffective response to the growing Russian threat has left America vulnerable. Setting a bold course for America’s defense, the decisive and strong new president, John Dalton Farrell, intends to challenge Russian aggression head on. Brad and Patrick McLanahan and the formidable Iron Wolf Squadron—including the recently injured Nadia Rozek, rested and back in fighting form thanks to a pair of state-of-the-art prosthetic legs—are ready and eager to join the battle. The Iron Wolf team is the best of the best—an elite, international group of warriors who will defend the free world at any cost.

But even with their combined forces, the Russian menace may prove too great for the West to overcome. Done with provocative skirmishes and playing for small stakes, the Russian president has set his sights on the ultimate prize: controlling the entire world from above. Expanding beyond earth’s bounds, the Russians have built a new high-tech space station and armed it with the Thunderbolt—capable of destroying U.S. satellites as well as launching powerful missiles pointed at strategic targets across Earth.
