Fatal Terrain Dale Brown Books

Patrick McLanahan and the Old Dog crew are back for another round. In this book, Taiwan has declared its independence and the United States has decided to back them. The Chinese are deeply offended by this and unleash a full scale war against Taiwan. The Old Dog crew comes to the rescue but ends up sidelined by bureaucracy within the US command structure. They keep fighting in spite of their troubles and ruffle some feathers along the way.

I liked the fact that the "bad guys" - in this case, the Chinese, weren't incompetent for most of the book. They used some unconventional tactics (borrowed from Sun Tzu) that actually worked. I wasn't as sure that it was realistic that they were a little too eager to start throwing nukes around.

Dale Brown clearly has some strong feelings about how the US should manage and use their heavy bombers, and sometimes he's a little too heavy-handed in trying to make those who don't share his views look like idiots.

But the battle scenes in this book were very well done, and there were a lot of them. I felt like the book ended quickly, given how long it took to build to its conclusion - when I saw there were 20 pages I had no idea how they would wrap it up so fast. But overall it was enjoyable. If you like military thrillers you'll like this book, if you don't, then you definitely won't.

Fatal Terrain Dale Brown Books Reviews

Dale Brown continues to write exciting books that always seem like they were written while he was watching the current news story. Not possible, but his books are so relevant. I just wish we had the people in power to do all the things his characters do. His books are always geat. He does a good story, good characters and creates a world of war tech that I really hope we can actually do. Always a great ride.
First of the series I've read. It's been a long time since I've read an actual "real" book but since the 1st in the series only comes in a paperback or hardcover I just ordered it. Can't wait to get it. Obviously I loved my 1st endeavor into this series and expect to read the entire series.
The People's Republic of China perceives the current American administration to be weak. So, they decide to invade the Republic of China on Taiwan with the aim to make it a province of the PRC. As they begin, Patrick McLanahan flies a B-52 Megafortress into the battle and the story gets interesting. All the former Dreamland characters, Brad Elliot, Hal Briggs, Patrick Mc Lanahan, Wendy Tork McLanahan and Dave Lugar, who was left in Russia in Flight of the Old Dog reunite in a Megafortress and Jon Masters, who owns a defense contracting company the upgrades B-52's accompanies them with his DC-10 tanker.

As a person who has worked for 2 generals in the People's Liberation Army in the People's Republic, it is a very believable story.
An entertaining story, indeed, but it seems that the author has a penchant of overloading the reader with a lot of technical terminology and it takes a bit before the gist of the plot develops. Indeed this has happened several times with his topical genre, especially about the bombers and the political machinations in DC. He does a great job in depicting the sinister Chinese admiral, the snidish-politician, the conniving admiral, and of course raises the bar about the main character McLanahan's and his crew, very aptly humanizing them. I am duly impressed at his ability to describe all of the technical jargon about the aircraft, the missiles, and the electronics involved. An excellent read, though perhaps it would serve him to tone down the high technical nomenclature, 'cause, just how many of us readers are there out there who can decipher all of the technological-avionic mumbo-jumbo? So what's next for Patrick McLanahan and his merry band of high tech pilots and crew? Looking forward to it!
Very interesting book. Some details too detailed. Story is amazingly current. I guess the concerns over China becoming overly aggressive and attempting to take Taiwan back are not new. How various parties react and others not at all that should is the core of the story. Throw in political mash in Washington with clash of the two parties and the heroic action of the EB-52 and what it's capable, and you have a great book.
I read this book in 2014, but it was obviously written some time before 1997. So to really enjoy the book, which I thoroughly did, you just have to put the current date out of your head and take it for what it is - another Dale Brown hi-tech military adventure story. There are several distinct sections of the book depicting utterly tense, action-packed combat, and I enjoyed those the most. There are other, rather lengthy sections which contain extended dialogue between major political and military figures. In those sections, which are interesting, there is some drama, and a great deal of strategy and politics - and virtually no "action". I think there could have been a little less of those sections, but the book would be incomplete with none of them. In some form or the other, they are necessary to the book. So despite their excessive (in my opinion) length, they belong where Mr. brown has put them. I'm glad I read this book, and recommend it to those of you who enjoy this kind of intense military adventure story.
Vintage Dale Brown. Unfortunately I am reading this book late in the game. Much of what is told occurred some time in the past. At times the descriptive details and background got a bit tedious but eventually the story emerged. Would have been better if I had read it when it first came out. Was more like a history lesson than fiction. The Megafortress can only do so much and given technology has advanced in leaps and bounds since this book came out eaves you yawning at times. Still a fan.
