Synopsis

From the New York Times–bestselling author of Dale Brown’s Dreamland

Under a new president, the future of the Air Force—and the nation—hangs in the balance…
 
In Desert Storm, Major Daren Mace made a fateful decision to go against orders. To abort a secret mission which was, in his judgement, ill-advised. His actions landed him in military exile. Now Mace has moved on to the Air Force Reserves. There’s a new US president. It’s a new era. And a new war is escalating along the Ukraine border. This time, Mace has a partner—Rebecca Furness, the military’s first woman combat flyer. And this time, the chains of command are tightening around him.
 
“Chains of Command is as convincing as nonfiction. Dale Brown is the best military adventure writer in the country and is a master at creating a sweeping epic and making it seem real.”—Clive Cussler
 
“The action is, as you expect from Brown, great.”—Kirkus Reviews
 
A Choice of the Literary Guild, the Doubleday Book Club, and the Military Book Club
