Dale Brown's Dreamland: Revolution (Dreamland)
so so: The story line is ok, same old, same old mostly. The strength as always is the technological imagination and imaginative battles. Unfortunately, the research and writing (and copy editing) have gotten so sloppy as to be disracting. Several times [... more]

Kill Grandma For Me (Pinnacle true crime)
NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH: I would not reccommend this book only because it does not truthfully and accurately describe what everything was really like for Wendy Gardner and James Evans. DeFelice paints Wendy Gardner out to be some kind of cold-blooded [... more]

Retribution (Dale Brown's Dreamland)
Futuristic warfare in a hunt for missing nuclear warheads: To say that the "Dreamland Team" is futuristic probably is correct but I am sure that many of the weapons and equipment that are part of this novel do actually exist. This is the sixth [... more]

Vengeance (Rogue Warrior)
Terrible!: Following the series our pleasantly plump former SEAL "collaborated" on with John Weisman, these latest forays into the fiction world are best left alone. Characters are weak, as is the dialgue, and the plot is virtually nonexistant. [... more]

Deep Black: Jihad (NSA)
A great find: Techno thrillers are pretty much a guy thing. It is also surprisingly subjective. For example, I do not like the Clancy books, and I hate the W.E.B. Griffen books. However, the Coonts series of Deep Black books has struck a cord in me, and [... more]

Deep Black: Biowar (NSA)
A READING TO MAKE LISTENERS' EARS SIZZLE: Today techno-thrillers are at the top of the heap and Coonts plus DeFelice pen them with the best. Add a triple threat voice performance by veteran actor J. Charles and you have a reading that'll make listeners' [... more]

Larry Bond's First Team: Fires of War
Better than others: I read this pretty quick and felt it was better than other First Team books, for the most part a "page turner". It seems more like Bond actually wrote a good bit of the book. In the others it didn't really seem like his [... more]

End Game (Dale Brown's Dreamland)
Another average novel by Dale Brown: Dale Brown started off with some good novels like the Flight of the Old Dog. This continues in the same vein as his recent novels. Looking for a new idea but quickly falling back on the old structure. Time for [... more]

Holy Terror (Rogue Warrior)
Demo Dick needs a new co-author: This, and all Marcinko's earlier works, are pure mind candy... but that's why we love it! However, this book (and the previous one with the same co-author) lack the pop and detail of his books with Weisman. We do not get [... more]

Larry Bond's First Team: Angels of Wrath
Far below the norm for Larry Bond: Larry Bond is an excellent techno-thriller author. Just a couple of weeks ago I gave a five-star review to his "Dangerous Ground," one of the best stories of submariners I've read in years. Perhaps that's why [... more]
