Infiltration (Phantom Air Combat Book 6) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
The year is 1986 and the Cold War threatens to turn hot. An agent is sent to join a carrier battle group in the North Atlantic, his covert mission to help the Soviet Union to track British nuclear powered submarines as they set off to patrol the oceans. To mask his bold assignment a complex diversionary operation is launched from the decks of the aircraft carrier “Kiev”, the pride of the Red Banner Northern Fleet. The target; British military radar installations on the Scottish coastline.
Commanders respond by deploying Phantom fighters to a remote base in western Scotland to assist Quick Reaction Alert forces where a tense stand-off develops before unexpected events bring the two sides to the brink. Could these be the opening moves of World War 3 or will the intrepid fighter crews foil the Soviet efforts?
As with all his books David Gledhill takes you into the cockpit with unparalleled realism for another high octane adventure in the skies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018
I have now read all the books in this series and am sorry that I have finished them. Really good reading with enough reality to keep you involved and engaged all the way through and real experience shows through. Great job and I wish there were more in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Phantom-centric Cold War story

Quite enjoyable, and I believe it was free or $2 online. Part of a series, and I will pick up others. Written by a former Phantom pilot, and it shows. Lots of accurate detail without being dry. Captures the thrill of flying, of combat, and the drudgery of waiting on the ground.

A few typos, no real technical errors. A couple of plot points that were let slide, but all in all things were wrapped up well. A gripping read, surprising plot, interesting characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly detailed and realistic plot and scenarios puts you at the height of the Cold War

This my second book from Gledhill. I don’t read a lot of fiction and this is one of the authors I look forward to as I just discovered his series 3 months ago.

The technical details on the F-4, operational aspect of flying, and even to the extent he writes about the far off locations where the squadron is deployed makes you feel like you are there strapped to the F-4. I hope his books turn into a movie series.

My only criticism of this and the prior book (and the primary reason to give a 3 vs. 5 stars) is that both his books end abruptly, without a conclusive victory. It’s possible that this is his style. But both this and the previous book leave you hanging in the last two chapters as a disappointment. This is like watching one of your favorite TV shows only to know that good guys didn’t win or lose. It essentially ends up being a draw.

It’s either a deliberate style OR he rushes to finish the last two chapters. I think its the former and not the latter: if he started the book the way it ends, it woudln’t Be the page (kindle swipe) turner that it is.

I may read the next one for the enjoyment up to two chapters remaining and enjoy the ride and not deal with the conclusion and do so for all the subsequent ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Phabulous Phaction from David Gledhill
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2017

Compared to other authors in the "technothriller" genre, David Gledhill's heroes aren't really heroes in the classic sense but rather people doing their jobs in extraordinary circumstances and that's what sets the Phantom Air Combat series apart. Avgeeks will love the in-the-cockpit sequences but on terra firma, the characters are real and believable while the story could have ended up on the front pages of the Cold War press, such is the realism with which it unfolds.

Infiltration stands alone on its own feet as a great Cold War yarn but equally takes its place in the Phantom Air Combat timeline, reacquainting the reader with characters old and new. The former continue to develop into the kind of characters that you start to think "what will they do in the next book?"

A great book by an author who clearly doesn't intend resting on his laurels any time soon.

A tale of intrigue and brinksmanship. It captures nicely the problems military leaders and the regular pilots faced throughout the cold war years. Is this just another exercise, chest thumping or is this the beginning of the third world war? Believable action and characters. I liked it.

As ex RAF involved with Fighter Control I can relate to much of what is written in this book as well as the others that David has written. Brings back memories of my time in the RA.F. Good book, well written.

A fantastic page turner! David Gledhill is cut straight from the same cloth as Tom Clancy and Larry Bond! Only a few miner proofreading errors and some minor inaccuracies as regards to the naval aspects of the novel - but given the author was an airman (and actually states his limited knowledge of such things at the end!) I think this minor caveat can be comfortably overlooked.

This book certainly held promise, one of the main characters is the RAF F-4M Phantom and the author used to be a Navigator in them. His knowledge of the operation and tactics of the aircraft is obvious but also the story he creates of Cold War tensions is very much a could`ve happened scenario and is told very well
