synopsis: The war on drugs is being lost — until the U.S. government builds a new kind of weapon: Hammerheads, an elite coast guard strike force armed with cutting-edge tilt-rotor aircraft. Led by Admiral Ian Hardcastle, they take the fight straight to the heart of the cartels in this pulse-pounding techno-thriller from bestselling author Dale Brown.
The drug cartels are winning — flooding American shores with cocaine faster than the government can stop it. In response, Washington greenlights a radical solution: Hammerheads, an elite strike force built from a merger of Customs and the Coast Guard, equipped with revolutionary V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft capable of striking smugglers before they ever reach land.
At the helm is Admiral Ian Hardcastle, a battle-hardened commander unafraid to bend the rules when lives — and a nation’s future — are on the line. As Hammerheads takes the fight to the Cuchillos cartel across the waters of the Caribbean and beyond, Dale Brown delivers the kind of technically precise, high-stakes action that put him on the map: real aircraft, real tactics, and a villain determined to keep the drugs flowing at any cost.
Tense, fast-moving, and packed with authentic military detail drawn from Brown’s own Air Force background, Hammerheads is a must-read for fans of Tom Clancy-style techno-thrillers and anyone drawn to stories of elite forces fighting impossible odds.
Notable: Second book in Dale Brown’s Admiral Ian Hardcastle series, following Flight of the Old Dog
