From the Back Cover

In Iron Wolf, New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown--"the best military writer in the country" (Clive Cussler)--returns with a propulsive military thriller pitting American hero Brad McLanahan against the Russians as conflict rages in Ukraine

All hell breaks loose in Eastern Europe when Russian President Gennadiy Gryzlov invades Ukraine. When the U.S. does nothing in response, ex-President Kevin Martindale takes matters into his own hands, striking back at Russia with a covert force of manned robots, led by none other than Brad McLanahan, son of the legendary Patrick McLanahan.

Operation Iron Wolf is underway. The initial strikes are successful, but American President Stacy Anne Barbeau, still completely in the dark as to Martindale's scheme, pledges to aid the Russians in an investigation, and an epic standoff between Russia, NATO, and the Martindale-Wilk coalition ensues. Will Martindale's secret alliance, supported by the best military technology, win the day? Or will the Russian forces emerge victorious in the end? In this latest high-powered installment from Dale Brown, tensions in Eastern Europe inform a political thriller of the highest order.
