 A Superb Military Thriller November 16, 2008
S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA)

There is no pause in the action in this latest thriller from Don Brown. The author, who is a former Navy JAG officer, created a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout.
It centers around a batch of plutonium stolen from the Russians that ends up in the hands of Chechnyan terrorists. Submarine commander Pete Miranda and his volunteer crew are tasked with destroying the ship carrying it. One huge catch is the location of the freighter. It is in an area that will render escape virtually impossible for the sub's crew. I won't give any more details on that in the interest of not spoiling it. Suffice it to say, the events occuring in this mission are amazing and harrowing.
This novel will appeal to fans of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor. Don Brown is an amazing author who can write a thriller like those above and also pen a legal yarn like Grisham and Turow. If you have not read any of his books, do yourself a favor and get this one. I would also strongly recommend the following: Treason (Navy Justice, Book 1) Hostage (Navy Justice, Book 2) Defiance (Navy Justice, Book 3)
Right Out Of The International Headlines! September 1, 2008

This novel was published in June of 2008, with a riveting storyline involving the conflict between Russia and Georgia and the United States getting in the middle of it. Then in August of 2008, war actually broke out between Georgia and Russia. Amazing. I loved the book and loved it's premise, and it was amazing in helping me understand a part of the world that, until the Georgian war broke out, had been foreign to most Americans.

I'm not a Gresham or Clancy fan so I should have known better. After the first twenty pages of cliches I gave up.
A Floating Hydrogen Bomb Adrift Somewhere on the High Seas! August 16, 2008
Ron Grey (Fargo, ND)
A Floating Hydrogen Bomb Adrift Somewhere on the High Seas! Imagine it. This novel basically predicted the Russian Georgian war three months before it happened. Don Brown is the new Clancy. Wow!
Wow! Talk About A Novel Predicting International News! August 12, 2008
John Rogerson (Winston Salem, NC)
In August of 2008, Russia Attacked Georgia. In June of 2008, Don Brown's Treason hit the shelves with a riveting storyline about war in the Black Sea Region and War between Russia and Georgia, with America called on to intervene. Did the Russian's get ideas from the author? Spellbinding and highly recommended.
