    About this audiobook

    General Patrick McLanahan's new Aerospace Battle Force has grown into a full-fledged task force based on the Armstrong Space Station. Providing almost instant access to space and every corner of the globe using the Black Stallion spaceplanes, the ABF's powerful network of satellites and unmanned aircraft controlled from space can not only attack any target anywhere on the planet within hours but can even invade any computer network as easily as making a phone call.

    But the program has its critics and doomsayers, including Russia, the United Nations, and the American press. Wealthy, Western-educated, and sophisticated Russian president Leonid Zevitin uses a combination of top-secret anti-spacecraft weaponry, fearmongering, and new U.S. president Joseph Gardner's own egotism in an effective plan to eliminate all support for the space program. Gardner and his allies in Congress and the Pentagon will stop at nothing - even destroying one of their own - to get what they want.

    Yet McLanahan and his forces refuse to allow the Russian aggression to stand. McLanahan ignores directives from the White House and Pentagon to stand down and orders the ABF to attack secret Russian bases in Iran.

    President Gardner orders McLanahan's immediate arrest. But before authorities can throw him in jail, they have to figure out how to retrieve him from the space base orbiting the earth. Currently in control of the Aerospace Battle Force from Armstrong Space Station, McLanahan closely watches Russia's movement of weaponry while defending himself against the President's attempts to discredit him. In a race against time, McLanahan must outmaneuver his own countrymen, defeat the Russians, and expose the truth…or die trying.

      Very light on everyaspect... one bus trip after skipping a few pages..

      Three stars because it's the 14th book of a series, so I was a bit lost character wise. Either way, it isn't my cup of tea, so I don't see myself bothering to read the other books.

      Patrick McLanahan returns once again in Shadow Command the 14th book in the series. Obnoxious cardboard character for a president carried over from previous book, poor introductions of new characters, stereotypical bimbo females. There was lots of technical military references, most correct...some not. Ending seemed a bit rushed compared to the rest of the book. Again, I wonder why/if I go on to book 15?

      Patrick McLanahan returns once again in Shadow Command the 14th book in the series - he probably should have just stayed home.Obnoxious cardboard character for a president carried over from previous book, poor introductions of new characters, stereotypical bimbo females, and the list goes on. It's almost as if this book was written by a ghost writer, but alas more likely it's just been spat out for another publishers cheque. The book wraps up with an awful sense of deja vu that we'll be revisiting already trod plot lines, never mind the story dithered about for 300+ pages before wrapping up awfully fast (and skipping vital plot links) in the last 20-30.I'm pretty forgiving of action books when they keep the pages turning and your interest piqued, after all it's reading for entertainment not learning, however this just didn't cut the mustard.It's okay, but a poor showing for the series. Pity.
