Satan's Tail

By Dale Brown and Jim DeFelice

Book Overview

To fight the war on terror, America's warriors need new weapons. And here is where the future will be won.

In the Nevada desert, the high-tech future of warfare is being conceived and constructed at a top-secret military facility called Dreamland.

As extremist Islamic pirates, armed and supported by a powerful Saudi terrorist, prey on civilian vessels in the Gulf of Aden, America aggressively answers with serious muscle--a next-generation littoral warship with a full range of automated weapons systems that the enemy has dubbed Satan's Tail. However, unforeseen technological problems, combined with the suicidal tendencies of a fanatical foe, mean support is needed from above--and a pair of Dreamland's awesome Megafortresses and their Flighthawk escorts are dispatched to the war zone. But bitter professional rivalries threaten to damage, perhaps even destroy, the mission, as a vengeful opponent takes advantage of the disruption to strengthen his outlaw navy and set its sights horrifically high--raising the stakes in a battle the U.S. and the world simply cannot afford to lose.

Customer Reviews

classic Dale Brown

No matter what Dale writes you can be confident that the story is never stale or just an extension of a previous story. he has written the dreamland series wherein each book can stand on its own or the reader get more value than the cost of the book if they read the series.

Satan's Tail

Riveting. A look into the future from a time before all the turmoil in todays world started.

Satan's Tail

Although this series, to me, is not quite as good as the "Old Dog" series, it is only a partial step down. The story is a continuation of the same major characters, and they are quite good and very interesting individuals. It is fast paced, has plenty of action, and a few tear-jerker momemts. If you are a Dale Brown addict, as I am, you won't want to miss this book!!

Outstanding book

This book had everything that a person who likes these type of books is looking for. Non stop action, multiple storylines, and it was very hard to put down once I got started. Dale Brown did a great job on this book and anyone who has liked his books in the past will love this one.

Trouble in the Persian Gulf

The "Dreamland " crew is back, and they're better than ever! When war rears its' ugly head in the Persian Gulf, Col. "Dog" Bastian and co. must deal with terrorists, pirates, and other assorted enemies. Making things worse is a trigger-happy Captain in command of the U.S. Navy's most advanced warship, which the Arabs have dubbed "Satan's Tail". Add it all up, and it makes for one helluva ride! My rating: 10/10.
