Book Review By Jacob Hurt
Chains of Command by Dale Brown

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia finds itself a wayward country, many of whose members long for the old times. Hard-line communists come to power, and Ukraine and Moldova are threatened. Russia will use any means at its disposal to force these republics into submission...
Enter Daren Mace, a pilot all too familiar with the reality and horror of nuclear war, and Rebecca Furness, the military's first female combat pilot. Together, they help the beleagured republics fight back...and are ultimately sent on a mission, the type of which still haunts Mace... and would change the face of warfare forever...An excellent tale of war, romance, freedom, and revenge, brought to the reader by one of the best...
