A review by lynguy1
Battle Born by Dale Brown
4.0
If you enjoy military adventure thrillers, then this novel was written for you. Brown brings action, politics, technical details and more to this suspenseful techno-thriller. It’s the eighth book in the Patrick McLanahan series. The world is on the brink of war. Patrick has been sent to a unit in Nevada to develop and train a tactical strike unit designed to seek out and destroy enemy missiles. He’s looking for aggressive maverick pilots, but time runs out as the peace in Asia is shattered. Set mainly in and over the Korean peninsula, this novel does an excellent job handling the technical, military and political aspects of the story. The characters had a wide variety of depths and more was needed. Additionally, there is one question that didn’t get answered regarding an accident investigation. I wanted closure on this item.
Overall, this fast-paced, action-packed novel was compelling. The ending action scene is intense and memorable. The author’s military experience added an authentic feel to the flying experience.
I purchased a copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. Publication date was November 2, 1999.

My 4.02 rounded to 4 stars review is coming soon.
