This was another fun adventure in Space Force Universe with Brad McLanahan having to stop the Russians and Chinese again!

Eagle Station reminds me of a modernized Moonraker 007 film in book form. Picking up where the last book left off, the USA in partnership with Sky Masters and Scion are playing catch-up in a space race against a China-Russia partnership to set up a moon base. There's a ton of action from start to finish - on the ground, in the air and in outer space. The book never lets up.
Dale Brown brings his usual technical and weapons knowledge to this book to deliver another solidly pleasing techno thriller, blending SciFi weaponry and space travel with feasible geopolitical posturing. Dale Brown delivers exactly what you would expect from his books, a page turning, quick read that is hard to put down.

Review 85 - Eagle Station
The 24th and most current book in the Patrick McLanahan series, but only the 7th book in the Brad McLanahan series.
This book is the final one of my birthday presents to be read as I needed to re-read the 2 previous books before I read this one.
Continuing the theme from the last book, The Kremlin Strike, Eagle Station takes place approximately 2 years from now. The US Space Force is a reality and is using the spaceplanes created in previous books.
Mentioned throughout this book are several pieces of current space technology as well, the Orion spacecraft being designed by NASA for missions to the moon and beyond and the Falcon 9 and Heavy boosters designed by Space X. Also mentioned are the Blue Moon lunar lander (Blue Origin), Bigelow inflatable habitat modules (Bigelow Aerospace), the Delta IV heavy booster (United Launch Alliance) and the Xeus lander concept (Masten Space Systems and United Launch Alliance).
The final Apollo mission to the moon, Apollo 17 , also gets a mention right at the start of the book.
I loved this book as it was centered around space action and in particular the moon.
If you are a space nut (@karens_library and @spacetoread I'm thinking of you here), you will love this book as space is the main theme for it.
I can't recommend Dale Brown's books enough and am definiely going to be adding all 24 of these books onto my 2021 must read books as I want to read through all of them.
I can't wait for the next book in this set to come out.
