Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fast Read
Review: My first time reading a Dale Brown book and I wasn't disappointed. The story moved along very fast and the action was always there. Parts of the plot were a little iffy but overall it was a great read.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bad Move.
Review: This was a very disappointing book. Usually, Brown's books are excellent, but this shift from his usual topic hurt the book. Badly. The only word I can use to describe it is "hokey."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely fantastic!
Review: A great novel. I've read a few of Dale Brown's novels but none of them have been as good as this. If you like James Bond, get this book. If you don't, get the book anyway.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Excruciating read.
Review: I could not finish this book. I was looking for a new technothriller author to tide me over until the next Clancy/Jack Ryan novel in the hopes that I could run the Dale Brown series, but I will not purchase another one of his books. The plot was underwhelming, the dialogue was excruciating and the hero was totally unbelievable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NO!
Review: Dale Brown made a mistake. He should have stuck with air combat, but instea tried this foray into action. No! I like his other books, but this one I shouldn't have spent my moneyon. The best part of this book was his preview for Battle Born. I look forward to his return to his original genre in Battle Born

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How did the author make the best seller's list ?
Review: Disappointing at best. I hate wasting money, but in this particular case I can't get myself to finish reading the book.

Were his previous books really best sellers ? Why ?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The absolute worst!
Review: This was bad! I've read all his other books and while some of them were far-fetched, this plot, or lack of plot, was so unbelievable that it defied reality! Our heroes who are ostensibly the best our country has to offer are suddenly struck dumb and stupid and we are supposed to believe this! I was embarassed! I couldn't wait to finish this book so I could go on and read something else. Please bring back Son of the Old Dog!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you like "Hokey", then read it.
Review: I am a Dale Brown fan ! Let me get that out of the way at the start. If you are old enough to remember those old movie serials with the Hero in the aluminum suit, and the bullet-shaped aluminum helmet, then you will understand what this book is about. And there were enough scenes where someone almost gets killed only to make a miraculous escape to provide fodder for at least an 18 week run in serial form. It is no problem for this guy to be blown up, shot point blank with really large

caliber weapons, or to jump off of a building and land on the rotor blades of a flying helicopter, glance off, and get up fighting ! Even the meth cookers were super high tech. I thought I would never reach the end of this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst Brown i've read sofar
Review: Finished it in a day and it never ever catched me as did his previous books. Stick to your previous subjects, Dale.

Everyone is allowed some mistakes, even writers

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Avoid this one
Review: "The Tin Man" appears to have been thrown together at the last minute. It starts off as a decent, if formulaic thriller, then quickly deteriorates into a state of complete un-readability. The inane plotting, wooden dialogue and non-existant character development combine to form a shockingly lame final product. This is only book I've read by Dale Brown, and if he indeed does have talent, then this wretched offering must be a source of considerable embarrassment to him. Complete garbage.
