Product Description
Review
‘Clancy’s got serious company.’
New York Daily News
‘When a former pilot turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class… far too good to be missed.’
Sunday Mirror
‘Brown puts us into the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride. His flying sequences are terrific … authentic and gripping.’
New York Times

Format:Paperback
Piranha has all the usual Dale Brown ingredients of high tech weaponry, battle situations, interpersonal tensions, and thankfully for this type of book, remarkably little gratuitous bad language. The body of the book is the usual buid up of the story components, and I found that part to be enjoyable, and compelling (5 stars for this), but then the climax came and went and I was left thinking "did the end really support all the build up?" - for me it didn't (1 star for this).
I realise that in my reading of Dale Brown's books this feeling of disappointment at the end has emerged only recently, but has been a consistent pattern. I also note that the last three I have read have all been jointly written by Dale Brown and Jim DeFelice. I don't quite know how two people write a novel, but I wonder if this shared ownership has anything to do with what seems to me to be a shift downwards in the quality of Dale Brown's novels?

The fourth book in the Dreamland series jumps into a slightly different mode with focus shifting from all out airborne war involving a couple of land/sea based units to a book which is almost completely oriented around a Naval situation. As is expected from Dale, the EB-52 features heavily as does Whiplash. Again, another new weapons technology is unveiled and put into service before it's properly complete. There's nothing like in the field testing is there? Altogether, it has most of the elements of a good Dale Brown book although I feel it is lacking something but can't quite put my finger on it.
