4.0 out of 5 starsVintage Brown
By William Bentrim VINE VOICE on September 4, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Tiger's Claw by Dale Brown

Dale Brown plucks his plots out of newspaper headlines. This thriller postulates China as our new deadly foe. Obviously that is not much of a fictional stretch.

One of the subtleties of Brown's books is the need to read between the lines. The book points out that with the intertwined nature of the global economy it would be difficult for any conflict to escalate to war.

Even noting that, Brown clearly details how minor events can snowball into making conflict nearly inevitable. I haven't read any Dale Brown lately and I found this book a bit more formulistic than I recall. It could have been one I read several years ago with the names of the players being changed.

I do enjoy the reoccurring characters as that provides a familiarity to the story that is quite pleasant. The nature of the plot does not provide a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings but more of a sense of trepidation. The specific details sometimes get overwhelming but overall and entertaining read.

I recommend the book.

2.0 out of 5 starsi really wanted to like it
By Amazon Customer on September 20, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I've read all the Dale Brown books and this is at the bottom of my list of favorites. It's a good story, and ripped from the headlines as others have commented. The problem is that it spends 85% of the pages on setup and doesn't really get to the "action" parts until around the 90% mark. I know, percentages are weird for a book, but that's what you have to go by on Kindle.

2.0 out of 5 starsDisappointed fan.
By Darryl Craft on August 7, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I was so disappointed with this book. It began well and kept my attention having attributes of earlier books. It seemed like the ending was just rushed out just to finish the book. Had good detail but lost its way to finish things off. Just anti climatically
Ended what could have finished things as he used too like use fifty pages instead of five pages to close things out. I have read every Dale Brown book I could find. Guess I'll have to find another for my military action.

2.0 out of 5 starsReadable, yet disappointing
By Janos on October 11, 2013
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This book might be getting good reviews from readers who are Dale Brown fans, but I think that readers who have a larger selection of authors will be disappointed.

The book:
- has too much space devoted to a cursory examination of political philosophies
- stilted dialogue with characters explaining technological nuances to each other ... using acronyms!
- too little action
- unbelievable characters, particularly on the Chinese side, whose sole purpose seems to be to get into a fight and thus provide the limited action in the novel.

And of course the author's total belief that large bombers are the best military aircraft around, only if some tech gizmos can be put into them, leads to a one-track story. These things can whack anything out of the sky, including dedicated air-to-air fighters. But okay, we know that is going to happen if its a Dale Brown book.

Nevertheless, its not a total loss; the author's writing style is good, and if one skips over entire passages that are completely irrelevant, the book hums along decently well.

But somehow, it simply doesn't come together. Even the ending is ambiguous; the two countries clash in a minor action ... and then finis.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot his best work
By Cheflanu on September 26, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I really liked the earlier works by Brown better...

I thought the plot was predictable and the techno-speak was done better in the earlier books like Flight of the Old Dog. I thought that Patrick was not as strong in this story as well. You would have thought with the death of Masters in the last book that he would have been a little more assertive with the company.

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding
By Kindle Customer on July 26, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
It's funny that fiction writers seem to have a better grasp on global threats than either the MSM or our elected officials. This story,while fiction, is not fantasy. There are evil people in the world and they want to do harm. Teddy Roosevelt said "we should walk softly but carry a big stick." We are walking backwards and lost our stick. This story should be a wakeup call. Excellent characters an a glimpse at a new McClanahan.

3.0 out of 5 starsBazaar and weird
By Noblenorm on August 31, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Wow, what a ride. Bazaar and weird. Off the charts in some ways, but prophetic in others. Brown spent too much time filling the reader with technical specs that added nothing to the story. I frankly don't know why he did it. I was not impressed. I acknowledge the audacity of the Chinese and only hope that the author doesn't know something I don't know. Finally, there was little depth to the characters, so it didn't matter much when they didn't make it. I felt no attachment. Let me add: I have written five novels; two were aerospace oriented -- one was about an airline disaster; the other about the stealth aircraft. Neither of them filled the readers heads with so much technical jargon that they were lost in the details.

5.0 out of 5 starsWow
By Joyce O'Neill on September 28, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Talk about future scenarios. Possible outcomes. This is more than believable. A good reason to be a hawk. And that's coming from a pacifist. Not that I don't think we should be prepared. I do. Overkill is what I fear. But we should never be under prepared either. There's a balance here and that's the objective. The people who will have to fight need our support. We need to give it. Cutbacks in defense are ok even needed but not so much as to cripple us. We should be working together to make our country both economically and defensively viable. That means Congress needs to work together not against each other as is the case now.
