Night of the Hawk by Dale Brown is a military techno-thriller and a sequel to his earlier novel Flight of the Old Dog. The story follows members of the U.S. Air Force who discover that a crew member they thought was dead has been captured by the Soviets and is being used to develop advanced military technology. The plot centers on a mission to rescue this captive and prevent the Soviets from using his expertise against the United States.

This book is part of the Patrick McLanahan series, which follows the protagonist, McLanahan, through various high-stakes military operations. If you’re interested in reading the series from the beginning, Flight of the Old Dog is the first book.

Night of the Hawk is set during the early 1990s, in the post-Cold War era. Although the Soviet Union had officially dissolved by that time, the novel explores lingering tensions and covert military threats that echo the Cold War’s dynamics. Dale Brown often uses real-world geopolitical situations as a backdrop, blending them with speculative military technology to create a sense of realism in his thrillers.
