Used. Mass Market Paperback. When the Soviets blind Uncle Sam with a sci-fi space laser, Washington doesn’t call in a sleek new jet; they dust off a battered B-52 affectionately nicknamed Old Dog. Dale Brown’s high-altitude thriller packs more technical jargon than an air force manual, yet somehow keeps you white-knuckling the armrests as this flying fossil charges headfirst into a hornet's nest of MIGs and missiles. It’s an exhaustively researched, adrenaline-fueled epic where navigator Patrick McLanahan and his crew have to out-think and out-fly the entire Soviet bloc. Grab your oxygen mask before cracking this one open—you’re in for some serious turbulence.
