Dale Brown can't decide what he wants to do: Either be a military writer, or be a fiction writer.

Dale Brown is also too established a writer to opportunistically use events in The Middle East for 2 consecutive books.

 Amazon.fr : Livres en anglais: Battle Born   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Dale Brown, himself a former air force captain, knows that a good techno-thriller succeeds by its careful blending of the hard realism of modern warfare with the fantasy of sci-fi's best alternative reality stories.
In Battle Born, Brown takes pains to frame his reality with all the necessary details.
He does seem to underestimate the impact (pun intended) of using nuclear weapons in warfare, though; the book is premised on a history that involves the Chinese having used them in strikes on Taiwan, and this new tale treats the subject with somewhat less gravity than might be imagined.
