New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown goes beyond the headlines in this high-tech, high-tension military thriller in which a resurgent Russia enflames sectarian unrest and violence in Ukraine and Poland, setting off a stealth robotic war and escalating an international crisis.

In the spring of 2017, the U.S. economy is rebounding under President Stacy Anne Barbeau, the country's first female president. But her leadership is about to be severely tested: Russian president Gennadiy Gryzlov has sent Special Troops, disguised as pro-Russian activists, into Ukraine and Moldova. Though NATO is outraged, its response is tepid. Refusing to let Russian aggression go unpunished, former U.S. president Kevin Martindale approaches Polish president Peter Wilk with a radical solution: a counterattack using a covert force of Cybernetic Infantry Device (CID): manned robots.

Underwritten by the wealthy Wilk, Operation Iron Wolf is launched—without the knowledge of the Americans or its NATO partners. The CID's initial strikes are successful, infuriating Gryzlov and propelling President Barbeau to pledge western help to investigate the attack. With international tensions at the boiling point, Martindale's secret alliance, supported by the best military technology, is determined to outmaneuver the Russians.

In this battle that will determine the fate of Eastern Europe, just which side will win?

      Russia has sent troops into Ukraine and Moldova, ostensibly to protect Russian citizens. NATO and newly elected U.S. President Stacy Barbeau are incensed but too timid to react with more than a warning. Scion, a clandestine company led by a former American president, offers its services to Ukraine, recommending a counterattack on Russia using a new weapon called a cybernetic infantry device (CID). Tension is high while Brad McLanahan, son of series hero Patrick McLanahan (A Time for Patriots) endeavors to train the troops in time for the counteroffensive before the Russians find their location. VERDICT Brown, one of the leading authors in military thrillers, stays true to form in his newest work. Weaponry remains the star. Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 11/24/14.]

      Brown's latest has that eerie ripped-from-tomorrow's-headlines feel. The Russian president destroys a small town in Poland that he believes is harboring terrorists, and the first female president of the U.S. demands answers. Negotiations seem to be nothing more than a stall tactic, prompting a former U.S. president to conspire with the Polish president to launch an attack against the Russians using armed robots. The ending is a bit abrupt, but it ignites reader interest in the rest of the story, to come soon. The action, the technology, the politics, and even the personal stories make this tale one of Brown's best in some time.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)

      It's 2017, Stacy Anne Barbeau is president, and Russia has sent Special Troops into Ukraine and Moldova disguised as pro-Russian activists (sound familiar?). Surprised at NATO's cautious response, former U.S. President Kevin Martindale works out a secret deal with Poland's president to respond with a force of Cybernetic Infantry Devices, that is, manned robots. And the metal flies.
