Executive Intent audiobook

Very high energy thriller, that involves China starting to expand its military reach, and having help from the Russians, as they target U.S. military space interests. The current U.S. president, seems limp-wristed as he does not believe any of the intel about this and wants to kowtow to the Chinese and Russians.Meanwhile, the vice president, is the opposite, and undermines the president at times, to use non-governmental means of gathering intel and at times attacking/provoking the Russians and Chinese.Brown does a good job with political running's in D.C., but does a masterful job of detailing military weapons, and aerial dogfights, as well as space based scenes. This is a true techno-thriller that comes with a few pages of acronyms, weapon names and terminology.The only complaint would be how it ended. Seems things wrapped up fast and nothing was mentioned of what happens to the U.S. President. This may be mentioned in the next McLanahan book in the series "A Time for Patriots".

Another solid techno-thriller from Dale Brown - America's military space station is getting noticed by China and Russia, so they come together to try and destroy the station. There is an incredible sequence of 2 men going to fix a military satellite which is a true page turner, very exciting. Looking forward to the next book.

Another fine Dale Brown Techno-thriller, well written and fun. It is a good page-turner. The scenario is getting a little shopworn but remains valid. The Russians and Chinese team up to dethrone the US as a world power. Good summer read.

Hot damnWhat a great thrill ride,plenty of action,great flying scenes,even if you don't read in order you follow along nicely ,this is well worth it

Executive IntentAnother interesting Dale Brown story. I don't enjoy the tolerating the stupid things that the President kept doing. It detracted from the whole story.

Took a while to ramp up to interesting reading but it made it. Enjoyed it very much.

Could have been better if the president in the book was not an Obama like weiner.

Great follow on from earlier stories and a set up for more fun and an expanded plot line.

Great bookPlease do not ask me to constantly make a twenty word statement about why I like a certain book. If I give it five stars, it is obvious it was a good book.

Space is seemingly up for grabs to the country with the most power. The President has to fight a political battle as well as making the tough calls in the battle between the US, Russia, and China.Loaded with technology and politics…lots of cool gadgets and some good action! This book pulls you along through the story for an intense ride.Reviewed by Ashley Wintters for Suspense Magazine

Executive Intent by Dale BrownI’ve missed a couple of Dale Brown’s thrillers. This takes place a few years after Tin Man. An insipid president is faced with multiple international incidents and reacts with timidity. An assertive vice-president deals with the crisis with the help of retired General Patrick McLanahan. Dale Brown keeps one foot in the present and his head and the other foot in the near future. He projects current events into the near future with often painful clarity. His stories are always loaded with action and techno-wizardry. My only criticism of this book is that recent history is referred to but not explained. If you have missed a couple of books (which I have done) you are not quite sure why some things are happening. The same thing is true with his characterizations. If you weren’t familiar with the major players you would feel left out. I think a little back story work would have improved the readability. With that said, I still enjoyed the book. It moves fast and leaves you hanging, wanting more. I recommend the book .

This book did a great job of getting me emotionally pulled into the story. I found myself irritated at the events that were unfolding and the responses that American leaders took. Ultimately, I felt things were resolved satisfactorily, but I wish more of the book felt like we were dishing it out instead of on the receiving end.

Yea, another good one.Don't have any idea what happened to page 221, but the proof reading must have been hit by Kindle. It's a great story,that moves right along without the comic book flare of many.

Drags at times

An excellent read!!!!!!!

Another fun read by Dale Brown.I missed the last few & now have to go back & read them also.Spoiler alert: The good guys win!
