Flight of the Old Dog - Softcover

Dale Brown is the author of numerous New York Times bestsellers, starting with Flight of the Old Dog in 1987. A former U.S. Air Force captain he can often be found flying his own plane over the skies of Nevada.

You can teach an old dog new tricks - if the animal in question is an old-line U.S. bomber retrofitted with state-of-the-art military hardware. Old Dog Zero One is put to the test in a mission to the Soviet Union in this novel written in the waning days of the Cold War. The target is a new Soviet weapon responsible for knocking an American spy satellite out of commission. Richard Allen brings a military bearing to the story, relating techno-jargon, action, and grunts' gripes alike with a commanding tone that makes the adventure more compelling and believable. Although dated, the Cold War story that launched Dale Brown's career in 1987 is still fun. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
