Query: Awful. Just bloody awful.

I have been an admirer of Dale Brown's early work and was stunned when I picked up "Act of War" a couple of years ago to find it a work perhaps written by a third grader. The ideas were stupid. The characters largely dispicable and the plot silly to point of absurdity.When I found Edge of Battle on the shelves at my local library I thought, "Everyone is entitled to a bad day!" and picked it up. Worst mistake of 2006. The people running the United States government and military in this book are morons, without redeeming social worth and should be banned from ever appearing in print again. The story is even stupider than "Act of War" and frankly I was hoping someone would nuke me and put me out of my misery.I turned the book back into the library unfinished and unlamented. I hereby resolve to never read a Dale Brown book again.
