Publisher Description
“Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.”
—W. E. B. Griffin
“The best military writer in the country.”
—Clive Cusslar
Former Air Force captain and New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown is an acknowledged master when it comes to bringing military action to breathtaking life and he has received glowing accolades since his debut publication, Flight of the Old Dog. Tiger’s Claw proves once again that every rave has been well deserved. Set in the near future, Tiger’s Claw imagines a scenario in which tensions escalate between an economically powerful China and a United States weakened by a massive economic downfall, bringing the two superpowers to the brink of total destruction. Brown’s popular protagonist, retired Air Force lieutenant-general Patrick McLanahan (of A Time for Patriots, Rogue Forces, and other Brown bestsellers), is back with his son Brad McLanahan and they’re preparing for the impending apocalyptic clash of men and military technology. The incomparable Dale Brown scores again with a frighteningly possible story of war and global politics that’s ideal for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.
Customer Reviews
First and last Dale Brown book
I am a fan of military fiction so decided to give the prolific Dale Brown a try. I have to say I really have to struggle to try to finish the book. The book has jerky pacing, awkward chronological jumps, and stuffed with detours that distract from the central story. For example, going into extended techno babble on made-up equipment or going into the minutiae on Bradley’s routine at Warbirds. And the worst of all, the cringe worthy voice acting of the narrator for female dialogues. We don’t need to hear the narrator speak in tones he obviously thinks women speak in, which sound breathless and wispy.
