Summary: Unbeleivable realism, an Incredible Thrill ride!
Review: I read "Day of the Cheetah" about 8 years ago, and have been a devout Dale brown fan every since. "Shadows of Steel" was yet another great book by a great author. Dale gives us Characters that pull you into the story. A Chinese Built aircraft carrier, and Patrick McLanahan in a B-2 Stealth. What more do you need? I must also strongly recommend "Tin Men", this might be my favorite so far.

Summary: "Enjoyable, but lacking in some areas."
Review: It's America's ultimate nightmare. Iran has an aircraft carrier, and they're not afraid to use it. "Shadows of Steel" doesn't waste time getting to the action. The Gulf nations launch a pre-emptive strike against a heavily fortified Iranian island on page one. In response, an American spy ship is sunk, and the crisis snowballs from there.The combat scenes were written very well, and Brown uses lots of very interesting hi-tech weapons to fight Iran. However, this book was shorter than his previous works. Brown also seemed to be lacking in character development, something he has immensely improved on in his last few novels. More focus should have been given to McLanahan and his relationships with his wife and his co-pilot, Colonel Jameison.

Summary: hmmmm made up stuff
Review: Its fine for an author to make stuff up. but when he is supposedly describing real-world items, the author has a responsibility to get things right. Harm, shooting down an awacs? if harm could do that , then aircraft wouldnt carry amraams! a sam 10 ,hits a b2 on the wing,, the b2 - damaged -carries on. the sam 10 has a 300 lb + warhead. you tell me what actualy contact detonation would do. its too jingoistic- when Clancy does it- he does research Brown just wants the US to win, and it will- even if physics has to get bent in the process..'cloaking device'? positrons? hmmmmmmmmmmm/ maybe his next novel should be a startrek

Summary: Early inconsistency made a promising book unreadable
Review: Most of Dale Browns' books are great, but he and his editor must have been asleep at the beginning of this one. A complete contradiction between pages 60 and 64 made me quit reading it.
Page 60: Iranian ambassador pledges to VP "..we will remove our aircraft carrier from the gulf." VP: "..an interesting idea..must present it to the President."
Page 64: National security advisor (to VP): "..You heard me right ..Iran's new aircraft carrier has put to sea." VP: "Iran has an aircraft carrier(words emphasized)? Since when?" in complete surprise.
The total conversations I excerpted from make it even more preposterous. After that I quit. The book was completely ruined.

Summary: Super glue cruise missles, love it!
Review: Not as good as "Day of the Cheetah", but still a good fast read. Brown is one of my favorite writers for this genre'. The concept of using "alternative" payloads on cruise missles was an interesting twist.

Summary: My favourite B-2 is on flight again in this book
Review: Shadows of Steel was my fourth book from Brown's Aeoro techno thriller. This time, the story took me to the mid east...after the B2 had its experiences in South East Asia (Sky Masters). The story is very good and I really enjoyed reading it. But damn! I felt myself sitting as a CO Pilot with Patrick in B-2 again..! Although it's not that heavy thriller written in previous 'Sky Masters', But Brown is still genious with story writting! He is still the best Pilot! So everyone who is in flight enthusiast, don't miss it!
