“Arctic Storm Rising” is the title of Dale Brown’s latest novel. After a covert CIA mission goes badly awry, U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, Nicolas Flynn, is exiled to guard a remote radar port along Alaska’s artic frontier. When an American F-22 collides with a Russian aircraft penetrating the friendly airspace along the border things go south fast. Soon there is a deadly game of hide and seek between the two countries – the Russians are hunting for the stealth bomber that went missing and Nick needs to find it first to prevent a potential nuclear holocaust. “Arctic Storm Rising” is also available digitally in Libby/Overdrive.
