Summary: Beeaauutiful.....
Comment: Gotta love it! Dale Brown's 9th novel, Shadows of Steel features a battle-scarred B-2A stealth bomber countering the threat of an Iranian aircraft carrier and an Iranian military coup. The novel did a tremendous job of conveying the dark fascination of carrying out precision strikes unseen by your enemy. In fact, the only complaint I could have was that in the dialogue everybody kept saying "B-2A", whereas it seems to me they would usually just say "B-2". But what do I know? Maybe the story relied a little bit too much on non-lethal weapons, and there was a minor innacuracy involving the maximum speed of the AIM-54C Phoenix missile, but these minor problems don't take much from the story. A must-read if you're a Dale Brown fan and a stealth bomber fan. Enjoy

Summary: Disappointing......too much techno-babble....
Comment: I have been a fan of Dale Brown since Flight of the Old Dog and have read and enjoyed most of his work. Shadows of Steel however falls far short of Dale's other adventures. The old characters are welcomed back but the development of the new characters is shallow. He fills so much space with the techno-babble that one loses sight of the rather thin plot line. I enjoyed the fight sequences of Hammerheads, Day of the Cheetah and Silver Tower because they were done without every other word being a weapons acronym - a non-military reader could follow along and still remember the plot after the conclusion of the battle. With Shadows of Steel, I found myself skimming pages, looking for the end of the battle sequence, so I could return to plot and dialogue. This is the first lemon I've picked up from Mr. Brown and certainly won't give up on him because of it. I'm still hoping to read another book as good as Flight of the Old Dog, from any author in this genre. That, in my humble opinion was Dale's masterpiece.

Summary: Dale Brown does it again
Comment: Alright,
this was the very first book of Dale Browns' I have read. Now, I have 5, with another 5 on order.
This book is excellent. This one talks about the B-2 Bomber, and modifying it. Although I recomend you read Sky Masters first, you can read this before Sky Masters, like I did. This one has Patrick suiting up on a B-2 and going to fight the Iranians.
