Started out weak, began to feel like low budget Anime, then devolved into utter garbage, proceeded to barely make sense at the end only to be topped off with an embarrassing mixture of cheese, corn, and manure. I will never get back the life I wasted on this.

Truly, it's a 2.5 stars. This is not one of Dale Brown's better books. 1. I never connected with the main character nor any of his colleagues. In Brown's other books, while I have little in common with this characters, I always felt some connection with them -- this one I had nothing. Nada. 2. It was really hard to believe some some of the events/outcomes in regards to the military. I believe the phrase is -- jumping the shark, no?
It's okay. Full of lots of action -- just not relatable.

How ironic, that the thing that wipes out an oil refinery (and almost all of Houston) is not Dale Brown's fantasy of a suitcase nuke toted by a twisted environmental "terrorist" -- but something real, and far more dangerous: climate disaster brought on by the fossil fuel industry. Dale Brown, who never saw combat, uses his novels much as he does his FB page - to egg on his "fellow warriors" to deep fry the Enemy of the Day with his own Chef's Special of high tech weaponry. Predictably, the cool, white American hero in "Act of War" wipes out the darker, foreign terrorists (who are the puppets of a evil, white Communist). Dale stretches his rather limited writing skill into the realm of racist porn when he writes a particularly lurid sex scene between two people of color (while the white hero and his white girlfriend modestly make love off screen). Can someone think of a good way to recycle this racist, anti-environmentalist, anti-Communist, Trumpish propaganda? (Dale Brown just congratulated Trump for freeing Sheriff Arpaio. It's way too toxic for toilet paper.

The plot was okay right up to the end. And then it nose-dived and started to plummet. Maybe my copy was bad, but some of the characters seemed to have done a sudden about-face faster than the drill sergeant commanded.
A CSM disrepecting a major? And suddenly, the CSM is all "Yes sir, hooyah." Even though five pages ago, the CSM didn't even think the major ought to be in charge. The other FBI agents are just as bad. Special Agent Colton is another example; he proclaims the CID doesn't belong and then at the end, he is using a CID. Come on. Get real and that's the good guys. However, i do think Richter was right: use the CID to break the deadlock of traditional thinking of creating yet another joint task force to fight terrorism.
Meanwhile, I thought the bad guys were much more believable. Even the background on the GAMMA terrorist group made more sense: their history, their choice of politics, and how to fight back.
I guess I am repeating the general consensus that Dale Brown should have stuck with writing about Patrick McLanahan and co.

This book was written in 2006. I read it in 2025. In this story, an over-rich former Russian General, name of Zacharov, plans to destroy the largest and richest oil company in the world, which happens to be American. Zacharov has considerable experience working with ‘small’ nuclear weapons. He has already used one and plans to use others on USA and other territory. The fall of Trans Global Energy and its leader Harold Kingman will enable others to compete without the dominance of Kingman.
The US President decides to create a new organization combined of military, law enforcement (FBI), information (CIA) and others, to determine who he is fighting, and stop the carnage. Unfortunately, these organizations all operate with different objectives, skills, weapons, organization structure and their legal capability. It is apparent that there will be complicated organization, information gathering and legal checks and balances. Organization leadership and structure will require special skills. The President selects Sargent-Major Jefferson who is the best available planner and leader of Special Forces. Unfortunately, the teams selected have little experience with special forces operations and all want to go in different directions. A portion of this group has developed a robotic suit, stronger, more powerful, better armed with better communications is champing at the bit.
The expected differences occur, and parts of the team act on their own. This expedition into Brazil collapses into catastrophic mayhem and is recalled. Ironically, the chaos forces the greater unit to congeal and learn how to work together. They gather more information and determine that Zacharov’s next move is in northern California. This battle is well written. All US units have excellent communications and are just enough better than Zacharov’s that they stop the carnage and kill many of the enemy’s leadership.
This is not the first time Brown has used Jefferson; I did not like it earlier and I do not like it now. In my opinion, regardless of his skill in planning special forces operations, those operations are rarely larger than a Platoon or Company. Field and General Officers spend years learning how to utilize, equip and support operations of various sizes. They also learn what peers in numerous disciplines bring to the table and how to activate other specialty functions as necessary. More importantly, they earn the rank that allows them to activate functions outside their units even if those units have never been used before. It is almost unheard of to have an NCO order, request, or refuse actions by civilians, police, or politicians. This selection just does not sit right. Brown even uses this position to create hostility, whereas a good leader would not allow himself/herself to need a lot of hostility to get the work done.
The book is good, with examples of planning and training, and good action; hand to hand, handguns, personal weapons, hand grenades and fired or rocket grenades. It would be of interest to those who like to see light infantry in battle, and precautions handling nuclear weapons. There is also a mole providing information to the enemy. Four Stars

Book Review: Act of War by Dale Brown
Last night, I completed Act of War (2005) by Dale Brown, a 544-page military thriller that proved to be an engaging alternative to television and streaming media. The novel gripped me from the outset, pulling me away from screen-based entertainment and immersing me in its fast-paced narrative.
Synopsis
The story opens with a devastating dirty nuclear attack on Kingman, Texas—a fictional stand-in for Texas City—targeting the facilities of the Kingman Group, the world’s largest energy producer. In response, the U.S. president and his advisors establish Task Force Talon, an elite unit equipped with cutting-edge technology, including prototype wearable exoskeleton armor.
This task force, operating under direct presidential authority, is charged with a clear mission: locate and eliminate the perpetrators, a foreign terrorist group known as GAMMA. The narrative follows the task force’s operations across diverse global settings, including Brazil, Egypt, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C., which lend richness and variety to the story. However, the mission is complicated by a web of false allies and a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of the U.S. government.
Review
Act of War delivers a high-octane, action-packed experience that aligns well with the military thriller genre. Some critics have described the novel as fast-paced, clichéd, and predictable, and while I acknowledge these critiques, I found the book’s straightforward plot and adrenaline-fueled pacing to be strengths for fans of the genre. Dale Brown’s writing is polished and effective, skillfully balancing technical detail with narrative momentum. The global settings enhance the story’s scope, and the innovative technology used by Task Force Talon adds an intriguing futuristic element.
For me, Act of War offered a refreshing departure from formulaic movies and streaming content, which often lack the depth and engagement of a well-crafted novel. At 544 pages, the book demands commitment, but its immersive storytelling made it a rewarding read. I particularly appreciated how it sustained my interest over other media, providing a vivid and entertaining escape.
Recommendation
I recommend Act of War to readers who enjoy military thrillers and are drawn to fast-paced narratives with high-stakes action and technological intrigue. While it may not break new ground in the genre, Dale Brown’s skillful execution makes it a compelling choice for those seeking an engaging and entertaining read.

This was an incredibly hard book to finish. It started out with promise, but after the first main action it spun out of control, with each successive scene becoming more unbelievable than the last. The last 3/4 seemed more like an outline of a story, with nothing fleshed out, no character deployment, no build up at all to the action.
There were just far too many WTF??!! moments, like: near the end, with the scene with the president gets taken hostage - where were his Secret Service detail that is always by his side? And when the helicopters attacked the White House, how the hell did they get that close in the first place??? The WH's air space is always heavily guarded. And to top it off, the good guys KNEW the next attack was going to be the WH, and had been in place days before!! If so, how did the terrorists manage to inflict so much damage and almost succeed?? WTF??
Seems many other readers agree. Skip this series, the next book is reported to be just as bad.

BOOKERS TAKE
I have a love-hate relationship with this book. On the one hand, I love a good conspiracy… especially when the Big Bad at the end turns out to be some high ranking political official.
I also love a good underdog. Something about the down-and-our has always tweaked my pathos.
I kinda hate Major Jason Richter, though.
The main character of this book got on my nerves for a lot of reasons, and the portrayal of the secondary characters kinda marked them as villains—when really they were just trying to do their jobs, which were made impossible my Jason’s misplaced paranoia. 😮💨. Jason’s really paranoid, he has little respect for others, and he’s wrong a lot (which makes his arrogant bravado extra annoying).
That being said, I ALSO love it when characters are attempting to do the right thing…and then fuck everything up anyway.
I still had a fun time.
3/5 ⭐s
WRITERS TAKE
One thing Brown does exceedingly well is managing the reader’s attention. He delivers a huge amount of information, and there are probably over 100 separate scenes in this novel, and yet—I paid attention.
Not only that, I’m pretty sure I absorbed most of it.
This guy should teach a class on techno-thriller lingo.
Summary: sometimes if you’re really good at something, it masks your other, more obvious faults.
Play to your strengths.

So glad I stumbled upon this book at the dentist office where there is a small book exchange area. It is another series that will definitely be on my reading list.
A Houston oil refinery belonging to a worldwide corporation owned by Kingman is blown to bits by a nuclear backpack device. It is the start of a terrorist attack that resembles 9/11 with no stopping in site. Do anything to disrupt our American lives and you can be sure of retribution.
Enter the CIDs. Superpowered, robotic soldiers created in a top-secret, high-tech facility by the likes of Jason Richter and his team.
It is a thriller and a page turner.

Started weak and nose dived into the ground. Houston factory is newk'd. The National Security ADVISOR grabs a geeky Army Major with a new cybersuit and an FBI analyst control freak--stuffs them together. This, against the advice of their cabinet bosses, under a national security council Marine Sergeant Major who treats them like marine recruits. I just can't imagine the suffering of the American people with an American anti-terrorist strike force at the will of the President, with Posse Comitatus suspended. At that point, I gave up and shit-canned the book. DNF. No more Dale Brown Jason Richter for me. I have better things to do then pound my ears with this drivel.

Act of War is a rather predictable techno-thriller written way back in 2005. Don't get me wrong, the action is still good, the premise is chilling, and the characters are fun. The technology is still pretty cool as well! Where it does not stand up is in mystery and in military reality.
What this book is, is a escape for a day or two. Grab a beer, ice tea, or what have you, and let Dale Brown take you to a world of excitement!

Act of War drew me in from the opening pages. Dale Brown has written a scary glimpse into the future in this techno-military novel. It has a bit of everything: robotic fighting machines, disgruntled military officers, betrayal, love interests, and terrorists bent on destroying a corporation and willing to kill countless innocents while doing it. If you're a fan of the action adventure genre, you'll enjoy this book.
July 26, 2020
It was a fast paced novel, but not for those who appreciated 100% accuracy and detail (I mean Brown is regarded (at least according to the reviews on the cover of his books) as being very detailed). Case in point, the main character is a major (pretty senior - In the United States Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force, major is a field grade military officer rank above the rank of captain and below the rank of lieutenant colonel. It is equivalent to the naval rank of lieutenant commander in the other uniformed services.) and through at least half of the novel, he is referring to the Command Sergeant Major as "Sir" - when actually a Command Sergeant Major is the senior ranking non-commissioned officer.
Other than that, the novel spends about 2/3 explaining the characters and the main story line and then only devotes a mere few pages to the other major attacks on the continental United States.
Overall, it was a half decent novel (probably a 3/5)

Act of Good Writing
If you don't enjoy reading "Act of War" then you need to reexamine what type of reading gets your heart ticking. It is a bit slow at the start, but once it reaches cruising speed it rolls like Mach One! I couldn't give it 5 stars because of the little editing miscues and a couple "hard to believe" parts (nitpicky, yes, but if I went "Whaaaat" then perhaps it was questionable). Very good story.

A pretty interesting book exploring the US's reaction to an act of terrorism at an oil refinery. The plot gets confusing and hard to follow and I feel like the end was quickly thrown together. It was a good idea and I feel had a lot of potential, but it just didn't live up to it. I would be interested in reading more of his books though.

Another spectacular read!
Dale Brown once again had gotten over the top! From start to finish,his books are the best. His CID’s always come through to save the day, but in Richter’s hands they truly rock. From one crew dog to another keep ‘em burnin and turnin. !!! All Air Force Veterans, especially flyers should read Flight of the Old Dog, and read them all!!!

An Ambitious Story
I really liked the story line - right up my line of enjoying thrillers with a lot of action. My only criticism was that in the author’s attempt to cover so much ground, it jumped around from time to time and restricted character development. But overall an enjoyable read!

Don’t bother. I was really let down by this book in so many ways. In all of Brown’s other books, the military knowledge is good even though he doesn’t accurately describe how the different branches interact. He couldn’t get the ranks correct here and some of the characters are more like bad tv sitcom versions of a person.
March 9, 2018
I got through half of the book and couldn't go any further. The only characters that are at all likable this far in the book are the terrorists. Poor writing and a lack of consistency make this a horrible book.
March 21, 2020
A new series from Brown finds a unit of supersoldiers in robot like suits teaming up with traditional units and law enforcement to track down terrorists. Thought the books jumped around quite a bit and I figured out the ending early on so wasn’t a whole lot of surprise.
June 15, 2022
The premise that a guy in an exo skeleton could make any difference in the war on terrorism...is in my mind flawed to start with. The right wing agenda of these books does jar with the older me. Easy to read but shallow in the extreme.

Jason Richter joins a group of seasoned military veterans and young techies against a consortium of international terrorists, determined to destabilize the global economy through a series of attacks on oil refineries around the world.

Not as good as Brown’s earliest works which included “The Old Dog.”
This work could benefit not only from a competent proof reader but also a skilled fact-checker. He frequently refers to the classic Russian infantry semi-automatic rife as an “KA-74”.

Violence, sex, language, technology, war, evil Politicians, this book has it all. It was interesting enough that i finished it in spite of all the preceding.

Fun listen. Exoskeleton clad scientists help take on terrorists to save the country. A bit cheesy at times, but helped pass the miles.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Intro to Jason Richter. Cool tech, clear and obvious prelude to a series. It's well written, a nice read but ultimately not as satisfying as it ends with the sequel in mind.

Maybe you have not noticed but this is America and we speak English here! Got tired of every other word in Spanish and moved on to another author.

Well written, great adventure story, I figured Chamberlain was the leak. It was hard not to have a McClenahan as the central hero.
