Synopsis

On the President's orders…one man is tasked with averting nuclear warWhen the U.S. develops intelligence showing that Iran is in the final stages of assembling a nuclear bomb, the President orders Breanna Stockard and the Whiplash team to destroy it before the renegade nation can destabilize the shaky Middle East. Left with no other choice, Stockard sends young Air Force ace Turk Mako behind enemy lines. His orders: pilot a squadron of high-tech nano-UAVs from inside Iran to destroy the weapon and its assembly bunker. Turk and his accompanying Delta Force team succeed, only to discover another site and another device. With the fate of the region hanging in the balance, Turk and Delta Force must fight off Revolutionary Guards, Iranian MiGs, and the elite Quds Force to locate and destroy the second weapon. With time running out, Turk takes matters into his own hands, hoping to accomplish what no machine ever could…stop a nuclear war before it begins.

Goodreads review by Chuck on December 18, 2019

I found Drone Strike to be a very entertaining book despite the usual Dale Brown caveat of too much technical detail.

Goodreads review by Ray on November 05, 2020

An exciting read which builds up to a suspenseful climax. I wouldn't say it's the best from Brown's pen, but certainly worth reading.......more
