Book Description

From best selling author Steve Stone comes 'Apache Wrath.' Flying at 120 knots with the unique roar from its aerodynamic rotors and twin turbines the AH 64 Apache is the world's most fearsome attack helicopter its pilots refer to it as 'Riding the Dragon'. The Taliban would more often than not flee rather than suffer its 30mm cannon, 2.75 rockets or Hellfire missiles. Some of the Apache systems are truly amazing such as being able to read a car number plate at 4.2Km away with its 127 times-magnification day TV camera. A thermal camera so powerful it can identify a human at 4km and spots of blood on the ground from 1km. You follow Peter Bowler from an Officer Cadet through training to becoming a fully-fledged Army Air Corps Apache pilot on the battlefields of Afghanistan.
Flying a helicopter so complex it takes two pilots and is akin to riding a unicycle whilst playing an Xbox, watching TV and reading war and peace. Battling the heat as well as enemy fire in the 'Green Zone' of Helmand Province. The fast paced action opens your eyes to the adrenalin rush, horror and terror of war from 2000 feet. Apache: Riding the Dragon blends plenty of high octane action, with a little romance - which adds an extra dimension to this fact based fiction story of one of the many flying hero's out in Afghanistan.

Biography

Steve Stone, is the pen name of a new best selling British author, who has put pen to paper having served Queen and country. His passion to highlight the bravery of service personnel, is clearly shown by his support and desire to promote Help for Heroes. With two TV offers under his belt and 17 titles, some gaining critical acclaim, his success continues.His no fuss, fast paced, writing style has helped several of his books become unexpected best sellers. Sadly, at the same time having a 'doctor evil' type critic in the form of a fellow British author paying pounds out to discredit Steve and his books via malicious reviews. Any book that creates such a jealous individual must be a book worth reading - as to have such a ferment critic and loyal fans must mean a book that is doing something to stir the emotions. Contrary to many reviews his books are not full of spelling, grammar and typographical errors. All his books are professionally edited and proofread, even then, the odd mistake does slip through.
