China’s prototype fifth-generation jet fighter goes missing. Far above, a stealth drone flies a very lethal, and very covert Black Op. The CIA, the US military command, and the secretive National Reconnaissance Office are all locked in a political battle for control of the nation’s future.Miranda Chase, the NTSB’s autistic air-crash genius investigator, lands in the center of the gathering maelstrom. Burdened with a new team and a unique personality, she must connect the pieces to stay alive. And she must do it before the wreckage of her past crashes down upon her and destroys US-China relations forever. Read more

  • I can't fly but I can read!
For a non mechanically minded, and only flying model airplanes that we crashed as kids, the author's word pictures and explanations made it easy for this older lady ampto be in the thick of the story, action, and confrontations. I loved the Rangers rescue of Miranda in DC lol and how the team's quirks made then endearing instead of odd. More please ... show more

  • Really good new series
I received a free copy of this title from the publisher for an honest review. I do like most of ML Buchman's novels. This book starts slow, but it has a lot of characters and situations as well as a tad bit of science-fiction to introduce. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

  • Very compelling story
I started this book at about 10 PM just to see if I would like it. I finished it at 4AM, so I guess the answer was yes. I came across the MC in a collection I picked up that details how she gets started, but this was the first full length book I tried. Trust me, I will read the rest! This is a extremely well done story that mixes both science, technology, and genius level intellect with a great mystery story of what an airplane crash is all about. I very much recommend this to anyone interested in Military and/or mystery style stories. It contains some fairly explicit sex, so is not recommended for younger readers. And, yes, it is military so profanity abounds. It's still a great tale and you should read it! ... show more

  • Excellent character development with pacing that kept me turning the pages
I purchased this book for my husband as he loves all things military. This is his review. I just finished M. L. Buchman’s first book in the Miranda Chase series, DRONE. It introduced me to the world of air crash investigations and his fascinating character, Miranda Chase. An unequalled lead investigator for the NTSB, Ms. Chase is an enigma to those around her due to her largely absent social skills. But I liked her for her quirky personality just as much as for her encyclopedic mind and unmatched powers of deductive reasoning. Miranda Chase is an intriguing combination of Sherlock Holmes, Adrian Monk and Commander Data. And she never lets go of a mystery until she has solved it. I eagerly await getting to know her better in the next volume of this series. ... show more

  • Possibly the best of all of Buchman's books
I started reading this book on the way home from an international trip. Big mistake. I couldn't put it down even though I was exhausted. Amazing and real characters--I work with people like Miranda (and Jeremy) all the time. And the story? It's got everything: just-believable military and technical possibilities, the good guys and bad guys, and the insight into what makes all of them tick. If you like technothrillers, an international cast with goals that you have to uncover as you read, you will love this book. Terrific pacing, great characters, and an outstanding story. Will keep you reading until you literally can't keep your eyes open. I can't wait for the next Miranda Chase book. ... show more

  • New. Series
I received a free copy of this title from the publisher for an honest review. I enjoyed this book and will follow the series. It is more technical which I liked. Nightstalkers is still my favorite series but I always buy his books and always look forward to the next one.

  • Riveting, but…
I enjoyed the main character very much; it was an excellent choice. The pace was quickening throughout. I didn’t want to stop reading. But, i found all the details about sex between the Chinese characters, the CIA characters and anyone else a total distraction from the story and truly unnecessary. Lurid details. I’ll try one more book, but if this is a pattern the author keeps using, I won’t be continuing with this series. ... show more

  • Most intriguing
Buckman is a new author to me, but based on this book, not one that I will henceforth overlook. I found his central character to be fascinating; a high level functioning autistic whose life revolves around her career as a premier NTSB investigator. Character development for her and her team is excellent. It's a great mix of aviation tech and action/suspense. I have subsequently read the next four books in this series and am hooked. Recommended. ... show more
