Deep in the Arizona desert, U.S. Army developers have built a tank the likes of which the world has never known, dubbed the "Tommy Gun." But in a carefully orchestrated attack, Iranian terrorists have captured all the Tommy prototypes and hidden them somewhere in Mexico-along with the project leader, the only one who can activate the tanks. Now, CIA officer Luke Dodd and a team of Green Berets must infiltrate the Iranians' stronghold and take back the ultimate armored weapon.

Another hit!!,
By
This review is from: War Dogs (Paperback)
Michael Farmer has written yet another great story in the continuing saga of Patrick Dillon and his fellow tankers. One is lead to wonder if Major Farmer has an inside track on the development of the next generation of armor with his description of the M4X1 tank introduced in this book. In addition, his very human character Dillon and his relationship with his ex-wife is further explained in this novel. I sincerely hope that the good Major continues to entertain us with his writing!

Rob's Review,

This review is from: War Dogs (Paperback)
Book was set up well for the story line in the beginning, but actual combat to destroy the Ultimate Armored Vehicles...was dull. Would have liked more combat action fitting the "War Dogs" title.

War Dogs Good but Not Great (Medium Spoilers),
By
This review is from: War Dogs (Paperback)
I'm an avid fan of Michael Farmer's books. Tin Soldiers is my favorite and Iron Tigers was great. So I eagerly awaited War Dogs, and well I was a little disappointed. First off the plot is okay. Personally I don't think its quite believable that Iran would be able to steal 14 advance tanks and get back to Iran. I think it would have been better for the tanks and the Iranian spies to be hiding out in the American West.
But the plot of many a techno thriller isn't likely when one thinks about it so I let it slide. My real problem with the book is pacing. We go straight into the thick of things. Although this happens in Iron Tigers, there is still a small build up. However in War Dogs, the XM4 Franks are attacked and stolen in the second or third chapter of the book. Plus a lot of stuff happens between Iron Tigers and War Dogs, and isn't too well explained. Rolf Krieger and his love interests are having problems, and suddenly the well disciplined Krieger is drinking and starting fights? This doesn't fit his character nor seem likely response for him. The biggest change is Patrick Dillon is divorced from his wife. We get no real good explanation for this. These events along with the books pacing kind of annoyed me. The author can change characters but I prefer he explains why they've changed. The rest of the book is pretty good. Action is dead on as always and the tech mentioned in the book seems pretty cool. Don't know if any of it is likely in the next few years, but interesting none the lest. The ending is a tad unrealistic however does play to the reader's notions of, "Boy would I love to see that happen to this guy" I say buy War Dogs but it is not as strong a novel as Farmer's other two installments.
