Book Review: Dreamland – Raven Strike

Less than 5 days for a book… love it!

Raven Strike

This book is Raven Strike by Dale Brown. Just a quick review this time to interrupt my normal book reading process (wait till I show you how many I have on my shelf yet to read) as this one came in from the library to Dad and he was in the middle of a book and I had it timed pretty much spot on with a book finished, so might as well pick up another one!

Dale Brown is commonly reffered to as a “Techno Thriller” author. All of his books are kind of a mix of like War, Mystery & Technology all rolled into a neat little package, and this book does not dissapoint. Part of his Dreamland series it is not to bad really. A Bit short but then this is more one of those books you would pick up for a flight and then finish it by the time you step off at the other end 12 or 14 hours later. In true Dale Brown fashion he manages to condense an entire ending of a book into like 10 or 15 pages which always bugs me but to be honest, his books are enthralling.

A fantasitc mix of futuristic aviation and military hardware it just keeps me glued to the book and I always love to read them. When you read about robotic Gun platforms or UAV’s that link up to a mothership which is a modified B2 Bomber I mean seriously how can you not like it! I won’t spoil some of the goodies in this book that are dreamt up for just this book alone but there was some serious Avgeek drooling being done!

All in all a good break from my usual reading.
