review 1: Dale Brown seems to be the only author writing credible war thrillers, since Larry Bond has quit the genre. The PKK is demanding an independent Kurdish nation created from parts of Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran and has been conducting guerrilla operations in Turkey. Turkey feels that none of its allies cares and stages a ground invasion as America is withdrawing its troops there. Private contractors are performing duties once the province of the military. At Allied Air Base Nahla near Mosul, Iraq, Scion International is testing the XC-57 (nicknamed, the "Loser"), a modified Stealth bomber, accompanied by retired General Patrick McLanahan and the brilliant Jon Masters.As hostilities escalate, during Vice President Phoenix's visit to promote peace in the region, McLanahan a... morend his cohorts deploy its fancy weaponry, including the Tin Man, CID, drones, satellites, and other technological gizmos in behalf of the Iraqi army when he is summarily fired by President Gardner. As always, the action is fast and furious, keeping readers very engaged.
review 2: After enjoying the earlier books in this series Rogue Forces was a let down.The pacing seeming rushed, the story and characters forced. One of the things I liked about Brown's novels was his ability to humanise the enemy combatants and make you care about even the suporting cast of characters, something which is sadly lacking in this book. Brown's villians are becoming 2 dimensional cartoon stereotypes and his scene building is starting to suffer. While the action was still there and enjoyable for the most part I finnished the novel feeling as if I was missing half the story. IMO a sub par effort that reads as filler for an artist trying to reconect with his muse though a must read for fans of the series. less
