"Will Russia vault to being the top power in the world?"

Thriller

Russian President Piotr Zhdanov’s personal travel transport has just arrived at a secret Russian Bomber base with the latest available bombers and training planes. He is there with Pavel Vorinin, who owns a company Sindikat Vorona, the Raven Syndicate, which supplies military and intelligent services and equipment to Moscow’s allies. Vorinin is eager to show Zhdanov his latest prototype aircraft that he has under development – a stealth aircraft and a drone (an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle). Vorinin has plans for a covert large-scale attack across sites in the U.S. utilizing these drones, but unknown to Zhdanov, his plan is already underway!

 Meanwhile, in the US, the Quartet Directorate, better known as Four, is a worldwide organization under the guidance of Carleton Frederick Fox that tracks issues that legitimate governments are unable to investigate. Following events in the previous novel about Russia unsuccessfully attacking the United States under Project Midnight, Nick Flynn and his Four agents are tireless investigators and deadly fighters for justice as they find creative solutions to the issues assigned to them by Fox. Will they be able to find out what Russia is planning?

Pavel Vorinin expects that his project Castle Keep will vault Russia to the top of world power as well as himself. Vorinin flies to Durango, Mexico to meet with Joaquin Lopez, head of the Brotherhood of Blood drug cartel. Vorinin meets with Lopez and asks for help to allow some of his workers to come to Mexica and to be protected by the Cartel. In return, he says he will get drugs into the United States. Will he be successful in negotiating with these bandits?

WEAPONS OF OPPORTUNITY is the latest thriller by the highly regarded and bestselling author Dale Brown and closely follows events outlined in Brown's previous thriller, COUNTDOWN TO MIDNIGHT.  All the characters in Four, especially Nick Flynn, his elite team members, and Laura Van Horn, are credible in their actions as they set out to find out what is happening with Russia and why they cannot use government channels.

The setting in WEAPONS OF OPPORTUNITY also rings true as the plot encompasses many current world environments,  especially as the Russian President is so concerned about their Armed Forces being so poorly trained and poorly equipped, and so corrupt that they cannot even get a victory over a fourth-rate power like Ukraine. The storyline also utilizes the lack of American control over their southern border. The Russians also see the American president as more interested in his favorite flavor of ice cream, as well as his dithering in response to situations that are a plus to their plan. 

Brown also includes U.S. oil energy exploration and production restrictions and several other current events that are all negatively impacting the U.S. government.  All are very current events and the action is also very fast-paced in WEAPONS OF OPPORTUNITY. As far out as some of the technology and aircraft seem, all the technology,  airplanes, and vehicles utilized in the WEAPONS OF OPPORTUNITY are currently in existence, including the flying speeders and hoverbikes that they utilize. 

Whether you are a military fan or just love a great thriller, there is lots for you in store in WEAPONS OF OPPORTUNITY.! Brown's many fans are sure to love this follow-up story while new readers (and soon-to-be fans) can easily enjoy  WEAPONS OF OPPORTUNITY. is a great stand-alone thriller! Grab a copy today and find out for yourself if Project Castle Keep will vault Russia to the top of world power!

SUMMARY

Fresh off his success in the New York Times bestselling Countdown to Midnight, Nick Flynn finds himself once again facing a vicious enemy—one determined to destroy the United States.

When Nick Flynn left the US Air Force to join the Quartet Directorate, he did so with the full knowledge that no one could ever know. This covert private force—called Four by its members—promised him the chance to lead his own missions and make his own decisions, though the risks are high. When a former senior CIA executive goes dark, Flynn and his team—including the daring Laura Van Horn—are ready to step in. What begins as a quiet check on his home turns into a firefight against a familiar enemy who is more dangerous than ever.

Russian oligarch Pavel Voronin and his shadowy Raven Syndicate are back in action, supported by Russia’s aging and autocratic president. Voronin intends to unleash a new force of advanced stealth aircraft against the US in order to make Moscow supreme and cement his own rise to power. With millions of lives at stake, Flynn and his team must track Voronin’s operatives and mount a risky counterattack deep into hostile territory. If they fail, the consequences will be horrific. But failure isn’t an option—not for Nick Flynn.
