Arctic Storm Rising

About the book

First in a new series from New York Times bestselling

author Dale Brown, featuring U.S. Air Force intelligence officer Nick Flynn on

the hunt for Russian commandos in the mountains of Alaska.

After a CIA covert mission goes badly awry, U.S. Air Force

intelligence officer Nicholas Flynn is exiled to guard a remote radar post

along Alaska’s Arctic frontier. This dead-end assignment is designed to put his

career permanently on ice, but Flynn’s not the type to fade quietly into

obscurity...

As winter storms pound Alaska and northern Canada, Russian

aircraft begin penetrating deep into friendly airspace. Are these rehearsals

for a possible first strike, using Russia’s new long-range stealth cruise

missiles? Or is some other motive driving the Kremlin to take ever-increasing

risks along the hostile Arctic frontier separating two of the world’s great

powers?

When an American F-22 collides with one of the Russian

interlopers, things go south fast-in seconds, missiles are fired. There are no

survivors. Despite horrific weather, Flynn and his security team are ordered to

parachute into the area in a desperate bid to reach the crash sites ahead of

the Russians. It’s now obvious that the Pentagon and CIA are withholding vital

information, but Flynn and his men have no choice but to make the dangerous

jump.

Soon they’re caught in a deadly game of hide-and-seek with

Spetsnaz commandos operating covertly on American soil. It seems that the F-22s

and their Russian counterparts aren’t the first aircraft to have gone missing

in these desolate mountains. The Kremlin is hunting for the first prototype of

its new stealth bomber-which vanished on what was supposed to be a test

flight…while loaded with nuclear-armed stealth cruise missiles.

As Russia and the U.S. square off on the brink of

all-out-war, it’s up to Nick to find the missing bomber…and prevent a potential

nuclear holocaust.
