Summary

First in a new series from New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown， featuring U。S。 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， U。S。 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 U。S。 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。

I enjoyed Arctic Storm Rising by Dale Brown。 The cast of characters listed at the beginning was very useful。 There were a lot of characters， and I referred to the list many times。 I liked the storyline。 I'm looking forward to reading more in this series。 I also plan to read other books by Dale Brown。I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway。 I enjoyed Arctic Storm Rising by Dale Brown。 The cast of characters listed at the beginning was very useful。 There were a lot of characters， and I referred to the list many times。 I liked the storyline。 I'm looking forward to reading more in this series。 I also plan to read other books by Dale Brown。I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway。 。。。more

Terrific adventure bookThis book was well written with an exciting story。 The characters were interesting and very well developed。 It was just a rip snoring good adventure yarn

Larry ，

The first half of the book was slow going with the development of characters and a lot of technical crap。 The second half of the book was can’t put it down good。 Look forward to the next book in the series。

A cast of characters at the beginning makes it easier to follow。 This is the first in a new series featuring Nick Flynn。 Highly skilled， loyal but recently fallen out of favor with higher ups。 Flynn is assigned to a remote outpost in Alaska。 Not too much goes on there besides staying warm and staving off boredom。 Until a Russian aircraft （stealth prototype） ends up on American soil。 Lots of action for fans of military adventure fiction。 Gratitude to the publisher for providing a complimentary co A cast of characters at the beginning makes it easier to follow。 This is the first in a new series featuring Nick Flynn。 Highly skilled， loyal but recently fallen out of favor with higher ups。 Flynn is assigned to a remote outpost in Alaska。 Not too much goes on there besides staying warm and staving off boredom。 Until a Russian aircraft （stealth prototype） ends up on American soil。 Lots of action for fans of military adventure fiction。 Gratitude to the publisher for providing a complimentary copy。 The second book in the series drops Spring 2022。 。。。more

I have been a big fan of Dale Brown's Patrick McLanahan and Brad McLanahan series。Arctic Storm Rising is the first in a new series by Dale Brown which features U。S。 Air Force intelligence officer Nick Flynn as he is sent out to find downed Russian and U。S。 planes。 He must then fight Russian commandos in the mountains and wilds of Alaska in the dead of winter and then find a missing Russian stealth bomber and prevent a nuclear holocaust。 This novel was suspenseful。 I look forward to future books I have been a big fan of Dale Brown's Patrick McLanahan and Brad McLanahan series。Arctic Storm Rising is the first in a new series by Dale Brown which features U。S。 Air Force intelligence officer Nick Flynn as he is sent out to find downed Russian and U。S。 planes。 He must then fight Russian commandos in the mountains and wilds of Alaska in the dead of winter and then find a missing Russian stealth bomber and prevent a nuclear holocaust。 This novel was suspenseful。 I look forward to future books in the Nick Flynn series。 。。。more

Again， I wish GR had a 10 point rating system。 This book had a great plot。 Not quite a 5。

I received a copy of this book from Goodreads in exchange for a review。[I want to start by saying that if I could give a book more stars， I would with Arctic Storm Rising。]Step by step， Dale Brown builds the story。 He sets the tone of the book from the very beginning。 His knowledge of military technology and tactics creates a tale that is frighteningly believable。 And his characters， that despite all the odds being against them， will persevere。 I can feel the power in this book。 I will look forw I received a copy of this book from Goodreads in exchange for a review。[I want to start by saying that if I could give a book more stars， I would with Arctic Storm Rising。]Step by step， Dale Brown builds the story。 He sets the tone of the book from the very beginning。 His knowledge of military technology and tactics creates a tale that is frighteningly believable。 And his characters， that despite all the odds being against them， will persevere。 I can feel the power in this book。 I will look forward to the next Nicholas Flynn adventure。 。。。more

Enjoyable Read。 one of the most。 Have not read Brown before。 Just wish I had known that there was a glossary at the end of the book， would have been helpful。

3。 Pretty good。 No real surprises， but Brown spends way too much time building up the story just to rush the ending。Rob Shapiro does a good job narrating。

Larry ，

I can’t remember ever reading a Dale Brown novel。 （This is not Dan Brown of “The Da Vinci Code” fame。） It’s the first in the Nick Flynn series and I thought it well written with an authentic feel。 The plot is pretty good。 Think “The Hunt for Red October” with an aircraft set in the Arctic Alaska - but it gets more complicated。 The main character Flynn isn’t a superhero-type but still a capable Air Force Captain。 Prior run-ins with the CIA have banished him far away from any significance - except I can’t remember ever reading a Dale Brown novel。 （This is not Dan Brown of “The Da Vinci Code” fame。） It’s the first in the Nick Flynn series and I thought it well written with an authentic feel。 The plot is pretty good。 Think “The Hunt for Red October” with an aircraft set in the Arctic Alaska - but it gets more complicated。 The main character Flynn isn’t a superhero-type but still a capable Air Force Captain。 Prior run-ins with the CIA have banished him far away from any significance - except when a rouge Russian steals an experimental stealth bomber and heads it to Alaska。 Both the Russians and US want it。 Both will pay billions of dollars to get it - even if it means nuclear war。 … I’ll definitely read the next book in the series。 。。。more

A Well written exciting readWell written， a page turner from the git go。 Knowledgeable in descriptions of operations and tactics。 A nice enjoyable read。

Dan Bassett ，

Starts a bit slow and overly descriptive， but then picks up and keeps you on the edge of your seat。

Okay， but nothing special if you enjoy military thrillers。 6 of 10 stars

Liked this novel a lot。I liked all the characters。 The plot twist and turns for dynamite。Reading a lot lately。 Nice to get a Real old-fashioned Good guys and bad guys Novel， with guns and planes and international intrigue。Put other things aside so that I could finish this book。 Thankful that it popped up on Kindle。

Great ReadHard to put down as the action continued page after page。 One of Brown’s best。 I highly recommend this book。

Love this style of book

Good techno thrillerLots of technical details without letting that side take over the story。 The plot was good and proved exciting。 Characters were okay， but a little stiff at times，hopefully they will be fleshed out more in any sequels。

Brian Anzaldua ，

Good story， Lazy writingToo often I was forced to read trite aphorisms that no true military person would ever say。 For ex。 "There will be no fighting in here！ This is the war room。" Ughh。 Also some crazy fictional technology like a tarp that would absorbing radar or a fighter jet equipped with "ground-to-air" missiles？ Good story， Lazy writingToo often I was forced to read trite aphorisms that no true military person would ever say。 For ex。 "There will be no fighting in here！ This is the war room。" Ughh。 Also some crazy fictional technology like a tarp that would absorbing radar or a fighter jet equipped with "ground-to-air" missiles？ 。。。more

NiceThis book had it all。 The characters were very well placed in the story。 The plot was twisted enough for a great read。 I look forward to reading more from this author。

I haven't read/listened to Dale Brown before， but I'll definitely be checking out more of his work after this。 Arctic Storm Rising kicks off his Nick Flynn series and does it really well。 While Flynn is the main protagonist - the story is told from the perspective of many people: government， military， & intelligence from the US and Russia。 In some respects this is as much a political thriller as it is a military one。 I really liked not being able to guess who was about to double cross who and wh I haven't read/listened to Dale Brown before， but I'll definitely be checking out more of his work after this。 Arctic Storm Rising kicks off his Nick Flynn series and does it really well。 While Flynn is the main protagonist - the story is told from the perspective of many people: government， military， & intelligence from the US and Russia。 In some respects this is as much a political thriller as it is a military one。 I really liked not being able to guess who was about to double cross who and why。 Petrov， despite being an obvious antagonist was an intriguing character whose loyalties stayed vague through much of the story。 Brown weaves together smaller （and sometimes seemingly insignificant） missions and incidents to culminate in a final few hours that were difficult to push pause on。 Betrayals on all sides are brutal and it causes Flynn and his team to have to act quickly。 While this doesn't end on a cliffhanger - Brown teases what may come of Flynn's career and a new threat。 I'm looking forward to Countdown to Midnight and hope some of my favorite secondary characters will be along for the ride。 Narration: This was a narrator motivated pick because I really enjoy Rob Shapiro and I was looking for a thriller。 As always， Shapiro's performance drew me into the story and kept me listening for 2 days straight。 There are a LOT of characters in this book and the consistent narration of each helped me keep track of all the players。 Well done and truly enjoyable。 。。。more
