Book Review By Jacob Hurt
Sky Masters by Dale Brown

Dr. Jon Masters has developed a new satellite technology...one that could revolutionize the way America's armed forces do battle. Lt. Colonel Patrick McClanahan and his colleagues are back at Dreamland, testing this system, when an ocean battle in the South China Sea goes nuclear. Now, Masters, McClanahan, and company must put this technology to the test to try and stop the Chinese from taking over the Phillipines...after the U.S. has left for good... A chilling plot that could very easily become real...A great addition to the McClanahan series...
