Several months ago, I took advantage of a free book for my Kindle by Don Brown. I was unfamiliar with any of his books, but found this particular one to be a pretty exciting story. So I grabbed another one, both from The Navy Justice series. When I saw that Booksneeze was offering a new Don Brown novel, I had to grab it. There was only one problem, it was the second book in the Pacific Rim series. So, back to Amazon I went to get book one.
After reading Thunder In The Morning Calm, I immediately picked up Fire Of The Raging Dragon. It was incredible. Written in the clandestine and covert op style of Tom Clancy, Don Brown has begun to emerge as one of my favorite authors.
Fire Of The Raging Dragon takes place primarily in the South China Sea. China has escalated the conflict with Taiwan, and the US Navy steps in to keep the peace. But when the president’s daughter, stationed on a sub tender in the area, goes missing, he must choose between his nation or his daughter.
Brown has captured the tension and conflict between the two Chinas, between communism and democracy, between Christianity and atheism, and has done so masterfully. Layer after layer of intrigue and suspense keep the pages turning.
I’ll be looking forward to the next book in the series. Until then, I’m going to have to find a few of his older novels to keep me busy.
