The Force is strong with this one...,
By
This review is from: Brute Force: Betrayals (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow, I think I enjoyed the novel more than the game. About 3/4 through the game and I had seen it all, it was fun but played out, yes I beat it but it wasn't a thriller. Now the novel on the otherhand MADE you press on to find out the ending... and it explains itself perfectly. I suspect not many gamers read a lot, but if you pick up just one novel this summer make it Brute Force: Betrayals by Dean Wesley Smith:)There was never a time when I was confused about what was going on. You know, how when you read something and you forget whose who and generally you pick up later what you missed but there is that period of time where you keep reading for the sake of reading? Not so here with Brute Force, it just is well thought out and well executed. Brute Force the game: 8/10 Brure Force: Betrayals: 9/10

Action Sci-Fi,
By coopertex (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brute Force: Betrayals (Mass Market Paperback)
Brute force is a fun, light read. It is not deep and lacks some character development. I was hoping that the book would reveal more detail of the character's history; but it did not. It lets us down in that department. But the action makes up for It- kinda feels like a comic book because the action is off the wall is some parts. In the first mission "Tex" and his team demolish a group of pirates inside their base and steal their money. Later on he cooperatively works with a scout named "Hawk" who is able to make herself invisable. And an android named "Flint" also joins in; it can sharp-shoot with a sniper rifle with deadly accuracy. The story and action-packed pacing is what makes it entertaining and good if you are bored. And the ending is shocking. I recommend it if you want something fun to read and you like a light read.

The Action Starts Here!!!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Brute Force: Betrayals (Mass Market Paperback)
"Nice shootin'," Tex said, as the Special Operations team
charged into the enemy base killing some guards on the way in. Dean Wesley Smith, the author of Brute Force Betrayals, likes to be discriptive in his writing. He uses description in his battle chapters like, "His cut was viciously bleeding down Tex's neck" and "The deafening sounds of explosions were all over the planet". What I like about the author's writing style is that he never stays on one topic for long he keeps the action flowing by having each chapter going to a different battle. One thing I don't like about the book is that it has alot of swearing in it. The story is told in first and second point of view. Mainly the book is about a confederation of Special Force Operatives fighting the rebel planets. The main characters are Tex- a strong heavy weapons operative. Hawk- the intelligent leader of Tex and Flint. Flint- sniper that is on Tex's and Hawk's team. The book is set in outer space and the genre is science fiction/fantasy. I recommend this book to people who like shooting video games from ages 13-adult.
