Patrick McLanahan flies into a storm of troubles in a spectacular new thriller, packed with high-adrenalin flying action and adventure.
Ostracised by the government, the Air Force and even his own family, Patrick McLanahan has reached rock bottom. Or so he thought. While testing cutting-edge weapons in the skies over Libya, he and his private team are drawn into a power struggle between North Africa's rulers. In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must quickly decide where his loyalties lie. For it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan's final battle.
"When a former pilot turns his hand to thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first class…far too good to be missed"

Patrick McLanahan is back into the action in Wings of Fire.

It's not a bad book, and 10 books into the series there certainly is the danger of an author falling into the same old - same old trap; in order to avoid this two main characters of the series are knocked off. This seems to be a bit too far in the opposite direction though for my tastes. It was all a bit cheesy and underwhelming, one of the deaths didn't seem to link into the plot much, yeah Pat's sad but it quickly fades into the background only to be brought up at convenient points.

That being said, it's a pretty good techno-thriller and there are worse ways to spend an afternoon. ( )
