I felt I should briefly say something to those interested in the schedule for the release of Volume V of the Dragon's Fury Sereis of novels since the date has slipped a couple of times from an orignal expectation of late June. I lost my father on January 25th to heart disease, and then lost one of my brothers on July 3rd to cancer...he was 49 years old. We are grateful that they both have returned home and are with their Savior and with other loved ones who have passed on before...we are grateful that their suffering is now over...but...

Halfway through Jeff Head’s four volume (soon to be five volume) series, “Dragon’s Fury”, it’s difficult to decide whether to be more awed by the scope or by the execution of this 21st century Iliad. In “Dragon’s Fury”, Head has crafted an epic – there’s no other word - with a global range and has done it without allowing the story to lose its humanity and focus on individuals wrapped up in and affected by events. And, oh mama, are there ever events. Iran parlaying a nuclear capacity into reality, Middle Eastern states coming together into a unified intranational entity,...

I have just finished (Freeper) Jim Macomber's first novel, Bargained for Exchange. Even though it was written in 1996, it is spot on regarding today's events. It is also very perceptive, projecting many of today's policies and attitudes towards terror and the Mid-East geo-political situation as a former special forces operative turned lawyer finds himself embroiled in a terror, espionage, legal intrigue story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The intrigue and action come quickly and are sustained throughout the book without being over-done or rendering the book as a single dimensional work. The characters, their...

I wanted to take a moment and give a progress report to everyone following my Dragon's Fury Series of novels. As many of you know, my father passed away on January 25th just past. It was sudden, and in that sense it was unexpected, but it was not a shock in the sense that Dad had suffered from serious heart ailements for the past 15 years, many of those instances reported here on FR. In any case, it was sorrowful because of the break in the association, the company and the great counsel and advise...but we rejoice in the knowledge...

John Ross, Author of, "UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES", reviews Matt Bracken's "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" I have several complaints about most thriller novelists. First, their protagonists are too often 100% virtuous with no humanizing flaws. Second, the protagonists let their enemies live when you KNOW the bad guys are going to come back and murder their kids etc. Third, everything the government does (hi-tech weapons, military & police tactics, criminal investigations, etc.) functions flawlessly. Fourth, too many stories have all the brilliant thinking and brave actions done by government employees (Special Forces, policemen, Intelligence operatives, etc.) Lastly, some novels have a...

Dragon's Fury-The Long March (Vol IV) is an outstanding read that lives up to the anticipation of those who, like myself, are fans of the first 3 volumes of the Dragon's Fury series. It also can be considered a stand-alone volume with all the background the author provides, however I would urge any fan of military techno-thrillers to read the first 3 in progression first. The Long March brings an exciting culmination to the scary, near-future World War III scenario depicted in the series, but still leaves the reader longing for more. The techie weapons system writing is very cool,...

I bought and read E.E. Knight's (Freeper snake65), Way of the Wolf and promised I would review it for other Freepers. This is that review. The Way of the Wolf Book One of the Vampire Earth Series The Way of the Wolf is the first in a three part series entitled, Vampire Earth. This is not your typical vampire, guts, gore and supernatural book. Quite frankly, if it had been, I would never have read it. This book is an exciting and compelling read about a fictional future where the legends of earth's vampires resulted from a prior contact between...

Freeper author PlusOne recently asked me to read his book, The Number 0F inifinity. I did so, indicating that I would be happy to review it on FreeRepublic once I had completed it. This is that review. The book is set in the realtively near future (ten years out), where extreme weather conditions and a failing world-wide economy have turned America into something you might witness in some of the struggling eastern European countries today...with a big government/big brother technology twist. The book, from my perspective, is an entertaining sci-fi, mystery/thriller suspense story with 728 pages. The plot involves everything...

Matthew Bracken's (Freeper Travis McGee) Novel: Has just become available on Amazon! This is great news for Matt. GO MATT GO! Enemies Foreign & Domestic is as compelling a fictional novel about liberty and the 2nd amendment as you will ever read. It is packed with real life issues right off today's headlines and the political camps on both sides of the issue. It is also just a good, old-fashioned barnstorming novel that you can't put down. IMHO, in his first at bat, Matthew Bracken has hit one out of the park.

Matt Bracken (Freeper Travis McGee), who is a former Navy SEAL officer and the author of the dynamite book, ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC has just released a review of the DRAGON'S FURY SERIES of novels about World War III.

Then, at a time of their choosing, they attack United States forces around the world, bringing America to the brink of a crushing military defeat. "Think it can't happen?
