Arctic Storm Rising

A Novel (Nick Flynn)

De: Dale Brown

Narrado por: Rob Shapiro

First in a new series from New York Times best-selling author Dale Brown, featuring US Air Force intelligence officer Nick Flynn on the hunt for Russian commandos in the mountains of Alaska.

After a CIA covert mission goes badly awry, US Air Force intelligence officer Nicholas Flynn is exiled to guard a remote radar post along Alaska’s Arctic frontier. This dead-end assignment is designed to put his career permanently on ice, but Flynn’s not the type to fade quietly into obscurity....

As winter storms pound Alaska and northern Canada, Russian aircraft begin penetrating deep into friendly airspace. Are these rehearsals for a possible first strike, using Russia’s new long-range stealth cruise missiles? Or is some other motive driving the Kremlin to take ever-increasing risks along the hostile Arctic frontier separating two of the world’s great powers? When an American F-22 collides with one of the Russian interlopers, things go south fast - in seconds, missiles are fired. There are no survivors.

Despite horrific weather, Flynn and his security team are ordered to parachute into the area in a desperate bid to reach the crash sites ahead of the Russians. It’s now obvious that the Pentagon and CIA are withholding vital information, but Flynn and his men have no choice but to make the dangerous jump.

Soon they’re caught in a deadly game of hide-and-seek with Spetsnaz commandos operating covertly on American soil. It seems that the F-22s and their Russian counterparts aren’t the first aircraft to have gone missing in these desolate mountains. The Kremlin is hunting for the first prototype of its new stealth bomber - which vanished on what was supposed to be a test flight…while loaded with nuclear-armed stealth cruise missiles.

As Russia and the US square off on the brink of all-out-war, it’s up to Nick to find the missing bomber...and prevent a potential nuclear holocaust.

Outstanding New Protagonist

Excellent new series, very believable, and an easy “read”. I look forward to future books in this series!

Good story but frustrating performance

There is nothing more annoying when a reader doesn't understand what he is reading. Its Airmen not AirMAN.

Yes!!! Great to have a wonderful new series

Big Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor fan and I’ve been looking for a new series for a while as I’ve read all of their books. This fits the bill! Really enjoyed the book and was glad to see it over 10 hours. Excited to more!

Supra Jon

I've always followed Dale Brown and read all of his other books so I was intrigued to see this at Books-A-Million one day so I made sure to look it up on audible.
I was definitely not disappointed with his artful writing as always and with the introduction of this new character it definitely leads to another long and great series to read in the future I hope.

Story ending

I enjoyed the story very much but thought that the ending could have been a little little better.

Misprounance USAF RANKS

Once or twice was a forgivable mistake.
Yet throughout the narrative, the orator annoyingly referred to USAF Airmen as airMen or airMan... Also described an A1C as a airman squared. Consistent throughout the narrative. this error was distracting to the story. Need a Cancy narrator for this series

Excellent book. Great story.

This was my first by this author and I was very entertained by the story. I’m looking forward to listening to the next book.

The Constant Cold

I didn’t like all the names at the beginning. It took up too much time. Once the strut started, it was much more interesting, He was up for anything. He was the best man for the job. He always did what was correct. He must have been in bad shape by the time the cast came off.

Great first book by a great writer

Nerve charging, nail biting novel. A book you will not want to put down. Keeps you guessing what’s next.

Don’t second guess yourself! Read this book!

I’m a fan of the current action thrillers (ie jack carr, Jeffrey Wilson / Brian Andrews, Jason jasper, etc) but ran out of books! I was desperate to find something to listen to and came across this novel from Dale brown, I honestly had never read one of his books, but the main character being an afsoc officer intrigued me and I went for it. Absolute no regrets!!! The writing is fantastic and the narrator is perfect for the job. I never once felt the need to fast forward or go find a different book that was more exciting. I’m about to go download the second and hope it is just as good or better!
