Summary: A high adventure (punnuy?) that needed an editor to cut 25%.
Review: Fun book wwhich requires no thought....allows one to read, then return a week later and all is the there (except when the characters are called by first names and next paragraph: surname). Needs a dissertation advisor to help him get to the meat of the subject sooner.

Summary: One of the best Dale Brown books ever.
Review: Really makes it seem like it can happen. Pulse pounding.

Summary: Fatal Terrain a fitting end of supercrew
Review: In Fatal Terrain, Dale Brown plays out an all-too-real scenario...Communist China trying to retake possession of Taiwan. And unfortunately, the US response is just how I imagine it to be, complete with interservice rivalry and backroom backstabbing.No doubt, Brad Elliott is a maverick, and he doesn't always lead with his head. But he is the leader of this group, after all, a group that has done everything from knock out a Soviet laser sight to patrolling America's woefully unsecure borders. He reminds me a lot of General Mackenzie Hawkins (from Robert Ludlum's The Road to Gandolfo and The Road to Omaha). You hate him too much to get rid of him. Overall, it's everything a fan of Dale Brown could want...Lots of action, lots of drama, and gadgets out the wazoo...If you're a Dale Brown fan, you owe it to yourself to get this one...

Summary: Action packed, if too technical at times.
Review: This is your basic Dale Brown novel, the huge acronyms which are impossible to remember. But under the many acronyms is a creditable story that wouldn't let me put the book down. Not the book to start on if you're new to Brown, but great to those who have read his better work.

Summary: Simply Dreadful
Review: The first and last Dale Brown novel I will ever struggle through. The characters and dialog are idiotic; the story line is inane and unevenly developed (especially as you get closer to the ending); and the technical details are only mildly interesting. I am convinced that Brown himself was heartily sick of it by the time he got to the ending. If you're a fan of the genre and not Dale Brown skip right on by this stinker. I can only hope that Brown's early efforts were better than this one, but I will not spend any more money to find out.

Summary: For cryin' out loud, Dale, TELL THE STORY ALREADY!
Review: I really didn't like this book and had to force myself to pick it up and continue it. WAY too many acronyms and too many difficult names (Chinese names, yes, I understand it was necessary). The reality is, all the acronyms could have been said once and then it just doesn't matter. I've gone back to reading Dean Koontz.

Summary: The Best war book to date
Review: What can I say??? This book is thrilling from the VERY start This book is my personal favorite for a number of reasons. First I have to say that the author pus you in the middle of the action. Even when you're reading another "boring part" like in the middle of a press conferance and the president is getting badgered by angry congressmen there is ALWAYS something interesting going on. Considering I found that interesting imagine what the fight scenes are like. Brown does a wonderful job explaining all the High Tech Weaponry and letting the reader know what's going on. He painted a picture in my head and it stuck there. This book would make a Kick-Ass movie if only someone would produce it, but i can't, just because. DO NOT!!!!! miss this book if you like war you'll love this book..............GET IT NOW!!!

Summary: Technical manual with sporadic weak story line
Review: I used to enjoy Dale Brown but I didn't enjoy this one at all. I found myself skipping large sections of boring technical specifications of virtually everything. (No I do not like romance novels). I entertained the possiblity that I was just getting lazy but after reading most of the reviews here I find I remain with the majority. I'll read the reviews first next time. I have an idea for Dale... we can all go out and buy Jane's book of ships, missles, planes, and jock-straps and he can simply provide page references. This should cut the book size in half.

Summary: This book is one of the best I have read!
Review: A great book. It is so far my favorite book by this author, and my favorite book this year! Dale Brown has written another very plausible, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller! I love how the author blends events from past books. He creates the perfect blend of political action, and heart-stopping military events that take place all over the world. A real page-turner, with an incredible climax. It's a real page turner, and leaves you wanting more at the end. Definitely worth reading!

Summary: disappointing
Review: IMHO, the author mixed an overload of various small pieces of technical information with his rather bizarre interpretation of current world politics. He forgot to add a plot and a characterization of his main characters/heros (are there any ?). Contrary to my expectation, this book is not at all equal to authors like Tom Clany.
