Tiger's Claw

It was over the top at times, but it was a typical Dale Brown thriller. Maybe the actions and responses to China were off kilter a little bit, but who knows what politicians will do when we have people like the current administration in power.

I wouldn't say at the edge of my seat, but it did keep my interest.

The performance was decent, but the narrator was not at his best when he was doing multiple voices in a scene.

The Devil in the Deep South China Sea

Don't expect more than it is and you will be fine. Dale Brown writes military books designed to be mainly enjoyment for men. The Americans may lose a few battles, but come out ahead in the final analysis because of maverick characters willing to do what it takes. It is not Chaucer.

Enjoyed the story over all but felt the story started a bit slowly. The intrigue provided is excellent and the real action starts toward the end of the book.

As always the technical expertise provided by Brown is excellent. Disappointed a bit by the ending (epilogue) but over all this was another excellent example of the great product Brown consistently supplies.

No

I have read and enjoyed every book written by Dale Brown except this one. The plo,t while believable, is disjointed. The story jumps around too much. There is too much space and time given to technology, and the book ends too quickly. It just happens with out any real reason. Too much time is spent on McClanahan's son and his preposterous flying of a B1 bomber to make the story less fictional. And after suffering through this, our hero is killed off in the end like Masters and Elliott before him. I hope he does not kill off Dog Bastogne as quickly. I look forward to Dale's next book to see what direction he is going in.
