From Publishers Weekly

Brown's raw enthusiasm for the nuts and bolts of military hardware still courses through his gung-ho renditions of the fictional air adventures of the U.S. armed forces (Battle Born; The Tin Man; etc.). Here, in Brown's 13th thriller, he offers up another flag-waving, jargon-heavy, air combat whopper starring daredevil pilot Patrick McLanahan. The Russian economy and military lie in ruins; the United States, now led by isolationist President Thomas Thorn, seems content to let Europe and the rest of the world go it alone. Seeing his opportunity, Russian drug lord and oilman Pavel Kazakov decides to build a huge new pipeline from the Black Sea to the Adriatic. The line will have to go through several countries that have already rejected the idea, but Kazakov has a secret weapon: a stealth war plane that he begins using to pick fights, bombing villages and shooting down opposing aircraft. His strategy is to provoke retaliation, thereby allowing the Russian army to invade countries that won't go along with his pipeline scheme. President Thorn may not care what Kazakov is up to, but McLanahan does and so do several of Brown's recurring characters, all rugged aviation patriots. They devise a counterstrategy to bring Kazakov's puppets face-to-face with the latest American military technology and fighting tactics. Though a captivating final dogfight over the Black Sea ups the drama level, Brown, a former air force captain, otherwise lets copious descriptions of military gadgets and procedures take precedence over action, which slows the plot to a crawl. For those who prefer their acronyms straight, this is the usual heady fare.

From Library Journal

Brown gives us another tale of maverick Air Force general Patrick McLanahan. This time his supersecret unit is called in to extract a CIA agent in Moscow whose cover has been blown. During this operation old man Murphy decides that his law rules, and McLanahan's unit ends up locking horns with a really nasty, corrupt Russian oilman, Pavel Kazakov, who is building a Trans-Balkan pipeline. In the course of events, our hero has to go against his superiors, including a rather flaky president, to get the job done and take out Kazakov. While not great literature, this tale is a real barn-burner, filled with lots of action and technology. Some of this stuff does stretch credulity, but it is exciting and loads of fun. Veteran actor Stephen Lang is superb; his experienced voice brings out the personality of each character. Narrative portions are just as ably performed; Lang's only weakness is his Russian, which could use some practice. Public libraries should have at least one copy. Michael T. Fein, Central Virginia Community Coll., Lynchburg

1.0étoiles sur 5 Dale Brown crashed and burned, Jui 23 2003
Par Tango (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Warrior Class (Paperback)
First: I am (or was) a Dale Brown fan. I loved "Flight of the Old Dog" and "Shadows of Steel", two of his best. Then... "The Tin Man" came, and nothing was the same again. OK, in all his books North Americans are tough but sensible, intelligent but down-to-earth, loveably undisciplined but real team players, capable, loyal, and honest, etc. etc. Enemies, however they are, are nasty, ugly, stupid, heartless, unimaginative, ruthless, corrupt, and so on. American allies try to be American and can't make it but we love them anyway for trying. Prior books had so much action, technical data and suspense that we could easily "suspend disbelief".
Many of Brown's stories are based on the cycle: thing must be done/USA government won't let us/do it anyway(blowing up half the non-USA landscape in the process)/escape miraculously/all forgotten due to achievement. In prior books one enjoyed so much all that happened that we forgot that basically, all books are the same!
Now, suspense is impossible, as we all know that USA's planes will get through, and once most of the trash (that is any non-American that is not an American-lover) is blown to bits, the Tin Mans go in and kill all the rest. Help!.
In conclusion, I believe Mr. Brown has gone the Clancy way, his books today must be written by a ghost group and he will continue to produce Tin Man drivel as long as he can sell it. What a pity, I really loved the man. Maybe Iï¿ll buy ï¿Wings of Fireï¿, just to see if Brown goes back to his old style.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Solid, Mai 20 2003
This review is from: Warrior Class (Paperback)
Author Dale Brown always writes a solid story, and it is
crammed with technical details that most readers will have to
actually study in order to follow his story-line. If a reader
tries to skim through this one, he will lose most of the feeling, and his time will be largely wasted. Brown's books
are meant to be delved into, and some time is required. His
books would benefit from a glossary of terms, because so much
military jargon is used.
In this one, the heroes, US military men, some current, some
with that in their background, have to fight a lackluster
US President while they engage some Russian thugs intent on
cornering a large portion of the non-Arab oil in the world.
The Russian is a modern Russian mafia-type, who is a murderer
who is enthralled by the concept of more and more power, and
all the money he can corner. He has been a "white-slaver,"
drug lord, enforcer, and all that is bad, but he has also
been successful in making much money and being able to bribe
officials of many countries on a large scale. His scheme is
to use geopolitics on a world scale, with all that extremely
large bribes and the promise of more, and to get access to
several former Soviet republics so he can built a very long,
protected, oil pipe line, so he can sell oil to Western Europe
and corner that market.
He is so ruthless and without scruples, he attracts the attention of the new-age US warriors, who have to use the very
latest in US weapons, including those not officially in use
by the US military. Those new warriors dazzle their opponents
with modern technology unknown to most, including the reader,
but the author makes it all very interesting. We keep wanting
to learn more about the most modern weapons being developed, because we hope our US forces will actually have such weapons
available for their use in the near future.
Brown has a lot of access to the most up to date information,
so perhaps his writing forecasts the future of weaponry.
An interesting story with a lot of detail that moves along
and keeps the readers' interests.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Great Book From Dale Brown, Mai 18 2003
Par Warren Goldstein (Minneapolis, Minnesota United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Warrior Class (Paperback)
In this book, Pavel Kazakov tries to take over all of Europe, all so he can make money with his oil company. Patrick McLanahan has to go in and stop him. Loaded with the best of weapons from BERP-Suits to Megafortress-2 Bombers to brand new missiles, this book is another excellent book from Dale Brown.
