Summary: An exciting new avenue of adventures for Muck
Review: Although I was a little disappointed in the beginning with how Muck was "handled", the more I read the better I liked the plot. It flows smoothly and the storyline is one of Mr. Brown's best. In the previous stories, Muck was viewed as a military machine, precise and logical. Here we see him as a person, with feelings and concerns outside a Megafortress. I never imagined the ending and am looking forward to the next several books that are set up here.

Summary: So-So RoboCop type of thriller
Review: Mr. Brown's book took a while to get into, then it turned into a kind of Robo Cop like tale. This book was a little too sci-fi for me, and the substance called BERP a little too far-fetched.

Summary: Another barn burner by Dale Brown!
Review: Dale Brown's puts Patrick MacLanahan at the center of the actions when his brother, a rookie cop, is hurt in a senseless and brutal attack. Vowing to get even, he enlists the nerdish Dr. Jon Masters to develop the BERP suit (only Jon Masters could come up with a name like that). Patrick then confronts Townsend's formerly Cazaux's right hand man and proves himself to be the indestructible man.

Summary: Not one of Dale Brown's Better Efforts -- so far
Review: Admittedly I am writing this review before finishing the book -- but if I waited I might not be able to complete this review before 2000. At some point - I am sure (and this is based on trusting the author) this will turn into a typical Brown action thriller. But so far I am completely bored with the tedious explanations of child birth, Dr. Laura advice for the lovelorn, etc. ad nauseum. It seems like Brown is trying to attract women readers at the expense of his historical and lyal audience. Maybe I'll get past another two pages tonight. Hopefully I can reutrn to give this the ususal Brown glowing review - but not so far.

Summary: An amazing story rol by a master
Review: American are unaware that the enemy has landed and plans an ethnic cleansing that will make the holocaust seem like a minor disturbance. The mastermind behind this diabolical plot is Gregory Townsend, an international terrorist. Gregory recently eliminated his cohort Henri Cazaux, a maniac who tried to control American air space. In his beginning gambit , Gregory and his Aryan Brigade conduct a daring robbery of several million dollars that left three police officers dead and one injured. Brigadier General Patrick McLanahan is the brother of the injured cop. He begins to investigate who injured his sibling. Patrick's actions come to the attention of Gregory, who he wants to add to his organization. Gregory threatens Patrick's family if he fails to cooperate. Instead of rolling over, Patrick dons the prototype body suit of the twenty-first century soldier. His plan is to go on the attack and bring down the Aryan Brigade and its charismatic leader. Patrick is now dubbed as THE TIN MAN by the media. However, he knows that accomplishing his mission will probably lead him down a path that will make him go outside the law to complete his goal. Although the technology seems way too advanced for 1998, Dale Brown has thoroughly researched his material and makes a legitimate case that this weaponry could theoretically be in service today. Because of this uncanny ability, this master creator of military thrillers gives his audience a dramatic masterpiece with his latest work, THE TIN MAN. The protagonist is a complex, fascinating person, who leaves readers wondering if the end justifies the means. The novel is a frightening work because it dims the lines between patriot and terrorist,and leaves the readers wondering what will come next from this talented author. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Awful.
Review: I saw this book on a store shelf about two years ago, and having heard good reviews for Dale Brown decided to pick it up. Shortly after that, the book managed to get lost on my bookshelf and I never noticed it again until a week ago. Boy, I wish I hadn't noticed it. I read someone's review that said that people who liked Brown's other books usually seemed to hate this one. Having heard this, I think that would be the only reason I would ever read another one of his books. The plot was scattered, the villain had no clear motive other than he was "crazy," and the characters and dialogue just became too annoying. I did finish the book, but then immediately threw the thing across the room as a final act of getting it out of my system. It was THAT bad. If you need an escape from reality and don't mind reading a book that doesn't have any of that baggage called "thought" then you might actually like this book. But honestly, I haven't been this annoyed with a book since Dragon by Clive Cussler. If you want real action and grit, go with Andy McNab.

Summary: split personality
Review: This is one half of a terrific novel. The first half, a gritty no-punches-held crime drama, is dynamite as it introduces the characters and sets up the inevitable conflict, even if the science is a bit shaky in spots. Unfortunately, somewhere about the halfway point, it starts to head south, and it turns into a hybrid sci-fi/James Bond thriller totally at odds with what came before; some reviewers on this page have likened it to a comic book, and I have to admit I agree. A scientist's puppy-dog infatuation with his female boss does not help matters any, either. Still, it's a nice thrill ride if you can suspend your disbelief.
NOTE: It seems those who love Brown's other books hate this one, and vice versa.

Summary: The tin man armour is developed...
Review: Fantastic story about Patrick MacClanahan brother Paul. The story starts out with Paul's first day on the job as a cop, and just how things go so badly wrong during a robbery. In this story you are also introduced to the Tin Man armor developed by Sky Masters Inc. (which has a few huge issues as in it's initial use), Patrick and Wendy have their first child (almost costing Wendy her life) and you see John Masters interact both as a warrior and you meet his love interest. The story is fast paced as they usually are for Dale Brown. Intrigue is about with this story as you have Meth Cookers and Bikers trying to get richer and richer as well as control the drug market, or are they really? You will have to listen to see.

Summary: Barely Two Stars
Review: Oh my. This was my first and last Dale Brown book. I was expecting something better. It took serious effort to stick with this book to the finish. The dialog made Clancy look good. So cheesy. The only redemptive value is it's pretty face-paced. Find a better way to spend your time.
