Negative Positive
Title: Low brow thriller
Review: I give this book 2 stars because there is a good story there just trying to get out. The basic political premise is a good beginning but as many other reviewers have pointed out the book has many problems, arcane military terms, detailed descriptions of things we suspect Brown is desperate to want us to understand and ridiculous furturistic weapons that are just impossible (a woman wearing an power assisted exoskeleton shoots down a hypersonic missile with a computer controlled rail gun which fires a bolt that in flight is molten but somehow is guided). Somehow the airforce has taken over the role of the marines and army.The characters are superficial and not believable at all. The soldiers and low ranking officers are all highly skilled and work extremely well together. On the other hand the generals are incompetent and hate each other.Brown writes books the way an army drill sergeant would.
Is the review positive or negative?
