Summary: TOP-NOTCH TECHO THRILLER
Review: Patrick McLanahan is back to face his most dangerous mission.Patrick must put together a group of young pilots to help fight a nuclear conflict. The new mission begins with joining of US-Japanese-South Korean mock bombing raid, but turns deadly when the South Korean fighters decide to break free and cross the border to North Korea, and support the people's revolt against communists. Patrick knows this move by the South Koreans can start World War III, but he knows of top-secret aviation technology to stop them in their tracks, to do this he must have his group of rebellious fighter pilots stop fighting each other, and work as a team, or the world as we know it will no longer exist. "Battle Born" is a great techno thriller. It starts off with a bang, and keeps on banging until the last awesome battle has been fought. Dale Brown writes easy to read techno thrillers, that keep the reader riveted from page one. His latest novel is a return to top form, by keeping the action scenes exciting, and the plot racing along. Nick Gonnella

Summary: A Second Korean War?
Review: This book was excellent. Another great book from Dale Brown! In this book, Patrick McLanahan has to put together a group of pilots to fly over Korean Penninsula and make it so that World War 3 does not start. That is because right before the joint US-South Korean-Japanese mock bombing raid, the South Korean pilots race across the border into North Korea to help the peoples revolt against the communists. To make sure that World War 3 does not start, Patrick needs an anti-ballistic missle system, but that won't be availible for years. Of course, as we all know, the guys over in Dreamland can get anything done. This is deffinetly 5 star work, if you have read and liked any Dale Brown books, you should deffinetly read this one. It is one of his best books.

Summary: "Battle Born" - Flight of the NEW Dog!
Review: Unlike some, I wasn't too disappointed with Dale Brown's last book, "The Tin Man", I kind of enjoyed it in a Robocop kind of way. Besides, Dale showed guts in trying something different. But now "Battle Born". This is what I've been waiting for. Fast paced, fast flying, missiles firing action of the sort that Brown does best. While I'm not going to say if this is his best book yet (I'll have to re-read the previous 11 books and decide), it will grip you, haul you in and refuse to let you put it down until you finish the last page. The politics are not too far-fetched, the technology may well exist already and his characterisations are as good as ever. This book could be seen as a true sequel to Flight of The Old Dog, finally retiring the EB-52 with the introduction of the... nah, you'll have to read it to find out. When's the next one coming out? If it's better than "Battle Born", Amazon better change its top rating to TEN stars.
