Patrick McLanahan #8
Battle Born
Patrick McLanahan is back — and this time he faces his most difficult challenge. He must pull together a team of aggressive, maverick young pilots to face a world on the brink of massive nuclear conflict.
It begins with a joint U.S.-Japanese-South Korean mock bombing raid. But the South Korean fighter pilots don't stick to the script. Instead, they race across the border into North Korea to support a massive people's revolt against the Communists.
Virtually overnight, the fledgling United Korea is the world's newest nuclear power, igniting a fuse that threatens to blow Asia apart and trigger World War III. Only McLanahan has the top-secret aviation technology and the brash young heroes to stop the coming inferno — if he can get them to stop fighting each other and start fighting as a team before the world is reduced to cinders!

If you enjoy military adventure thrillers, then this novel was written for you. Brown brings action, politics, technical details and more to this suspenseful techno-thriller. It’s the eighth book in the Patrick McLanahan series. The world is on the brink of war. Patrick has been sent to a unit in Nevada to develop and train a tactical strike unit designed to seek out and destroy enemy missiles. He’s looking for aggressive maverick pilots, but time runs out as the peace in Asia is shattered. Set mainly in and over the Korean peninsula, this novel does an excellent job handling the technical, military and political aspects of the story. The characters had a wide variety of depths and more was needed. Additionally, there is one question that didn’t get answered regarding an accident investigation. I wanted closure on this item.
Overall, this fast-paced, action-packed novel was compelling. The ending action scene is intense and memorable. The author’s military experience added an authentic feel to the flying experience.
I purchased a copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. Publication date was November 2, 1999.

If being terrified thrills you, read Battle Born and think about the current resident of the Oval Office!
The Korean peninsula has long been a geo-political hot spot and a potential ignition point for the conflict that could easily escalate into World War III. Dale Brown’s Battle Born is the story of a hypothetical invasion of an embattled, poverty-stricken, weary North Korea by the South Koreans and their surprisingly peaceful recombination into a single country through inspired diplomacy and statecraft.
Brown posits South Korea’s virtually bloodless absorption of North Korea with a high speed Blitzkrieg operation that would have made WW II Germany’s head spin. But the world wakes up to discover that the fledgling United Republic of Korea, having stumbled upon illegal Chinese weapons stored within the former North Korean borders, is now the world’s newest power with thermonuclear capability. China, Russia, Japan and the USA are very interested, very angry, very worried and very frightened. Brown’s astonishing imagining of the political ramifications of such an event unfolding in the corridors of power around the world is at once breathtaking, disgusting, terrifying, compelling, bleak, saddening and worrisome.
His portrayal of China’s incessant, almost childish, need to save face, United Korea’s confidence, hope and optimism for the future coupled with its fervent hope for peace and prosperity, and the USA’s infernal belligerent and bellicose belief in its need to be the “world leader” is masterful. “Jerrod Hale scowled at the President’s courteous words. No president of the USA, he said in silent admonishment, should ever have to suck up to a foreign leader, however grave the situation.” And a great story gets even better when rogue factions within both the former North and South Korea threaten to tip a precariously achieved and grudging peaceful balance over the brink and into the irrevocable beyond of a nuclear war.
But despite the fact that I could shower Battle Born’s socio-political story with superlatives all day long, it’s pulled down by the maudlin parallel story of General Patrick McLanahan’s rogue team of “elite” bomber pilots. This is a group of self-important, arrogant, narcissistic, undisciplined men and women who fancy that rules of engagement, rules of military behavior, rules of safety and rules of common sense were written for everyone but them. Frankly, their story is distracting, irritating and verges on boring. Even when Brown relates tantalizing episodes of high-speed aerial combat and regales the reader with informative side-bar essays on the unbelievable destructive power of modern weaponry, the characterization of this team continues to pull down the overall impact of a novel that could have been great.
My opinion on the overall effect of Battle Born notwithstanding, I’d recommend it as an important novel to read in light of the stupidity that Trump is currently exhibiting to the world. It is worth understanding the tragedy that might unfold as a result of his seat-of-the-pants, self-directed, arrogant efforts at “diplomacy”.

I remember my girlfriend gave me this book. A little complicated but maybe it's because of my smol brain.

A book about a new Megafortress the B1 bomber. An interesting setup but the book spent too much time developing the characters and describing the technology and not enough time on the underlying conflict.
It took until what seemed the very end of the book to even get the new bones in combat. I would rather have seen this part of the story be fleshed out more.
Overall a good read that I did enjoy.

Dale Brown had me with Flight of the Old Dog and he doesn't believe in catch and release. Another awesome read from Brown and the very effective use of continuation of main characters.
When I read Dale Brown, I'm always awed by his technical knowledge, but even more intriguing is his almost clairvoyant ability to write stories that seem to connect with future events.
I find I'm always watching for new releases by Brown.

Dale Brown returns with another aerial techno-thriller, after delving into a James Bondish yarn in Tin Man. This book, Battle Born, was not his best, but it wasn't bad either. 500+ pages and most of it was spent in building up a crew in Nevada to fly modified B-1Bs against ballistic missles.
The main storyline has South Korea coming into possesion of a nuclear weapon. Then after months of infiltrating North Korea with spys and helping to fight their poverty situation, the South Koreans attack, and most N. Koreans revolt against their fellow Communists to overthrow that form of government, effectively uniting Korea.
Meanwhile, in the U.S. a dysfunctional Air National Guard unit is being tested by Gen. Patrick McLanahan over the Nevada deserts in B-1B's. Dreamland is testing plasma-yield weapons as well as antiballilistic missles.
Back overseas, a United Korea has found a stockpile of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), i.e. chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. A leftover crew of loyal North Koreans, still with some WMD's launch an attack on the Southern part of Korea. The defense minister, Kim of United Korea, believes China launched the attack, and wants President Kwon to retaliate against the Chinese with nuclear weapons.
Hence, lies the political and military struggle for the rest of the book. China invades the northern part of Korea, while the
B1-B crews get their act together to keep Northeast Asia from becoming a nuclear wasteland.
Most of the book is dialogue, both normal and technical as only Brown can deliver. Some good aerial sequences, especially near the end.

I just started following this series about a year ago, and the stories I have read so far are all pre 9/11. It is weird to me to read something that happened before those events and read about some of the (then) current events. It seems so foreign to the way we relate to fiction after that - it seems almost naïve in concept - which also makes it kind of refreshing.
Given that, many of the issues covered in this book are still current. The events in this book take place in about 1999 and involves a reunification of South and North Korea by mostly peaceful means. There are concerns about WMDs and Chinese involvement from the north and American intervention in the South, which are all current concerns in this area.
We also meet several new characters and are starting to see the evolution of older technologies into more space-age type aircraft, weapons and strategies. I haven't researched some of described "new technologies", although I do believe many of them have been developed. Some of them still sound a bit unrealistic or impractical to me, but they are still fun to read about.
Anyone interested in military technology and international relations and warfare should enjoy this series, and this book in particular.

I am glad I found this book at my place of employment's 'donate some money, grab a book' shelf. It had seen some readings to be sure. I liked the cover, the name of the book and the abstract so I picked it up to enjoy a break from my epic fantasy. Brown's book 'Battle Born' did not disappoint.
Everything from character development to the combat scenes were well done- I just wish there were more of them. That's what the next few books are for, right? My favorite character was Rinc Seaver. Sarcastic, hot headed, hilarious and brilliant as much as he is dangerous.
There's just one thing that was kind of left out. What did the accident commission find? That one was never explained. Or perhaps Dale explained it and I missed it. I've been in a few flight simulators and understand some aviation terminology- but a lack of knowledge of technical jargon may put some people off. I didn't mind.
I will recommend this book to a few people- and may add more of Dale Brown's books to my 'to-read' list in the future. I have only one bit of constructive criticism for Dale Brown:
MAGAZINES. They are called magazines Dale- not clips. A 'clip' feeds a magazine. Great book.

Dale Brown's eyes in this books turns to North and South Korea. In the end of the previous book Patrick McLanahan left the private sector to once again join Dreamland. Now he's working on weapons to chase down and stop ballistic missiles.
The author still hadn't caught on to the longevity of B-52. The book is in a time of reduced military budgets and he has more or less scrapped them all. Instead the focus is on B-1 Lancer (Bone) planes which are described as being as fast and agile as a fighter but with the bomb load of a B-52. Allow me to not put those statements in the "fact" column.
I don't really find Dale Brown's obsessions with nuclear weapons entertaining. Nuclear weapons have shock value, both in the real world and in the imaginary world in the books, but not if they are used over and over again. And the effects of them, short term and long therm, are glossed over. It's like it's Dale Brown's favourite toy and he brings it to every party.
Still, overall much more in this book is believable compared to his earlier books. I'm almost giving it three stars, but after all, there is too much over acting, weapon polishing and macho grunting.

I liked this book. The Patrick McLanahan series has been quite a series.
The fragile peace in Asia is torn when what was supposed to be a joint United States - Japan - South Korea mock bombing exercise turns lethal. South Korean fighters head into North Korea to destroy several North Korean command-and-control, special forces, and secret police centers in order to support a people's revolt against the Communist regime. North Korean military surrenders, borders are opened and the United Republic of Korea is born.
This United Korea becomes the newest nuclear power and it refuses to destroy many captured chemical and biological weapons which it claims will protect it against threats from China.
McLanahan's chosen team is sent into the fray to protect United Korea and stop to from touching off World War III. His bomber force has the world's newest, most powerful nonnuclear weapon to use.
Things get especially fast paced and thrilling toward the end.

Reading this made me realize what a great military author Tom Clancy is.
Having read some of Brown's other Megafortress books I knew going in that he doesn't let reality get in the way of a good narrative. I got about 100 pages in before I couldn't take it anymore. What finally did it for me was a scene where a two star general was flying a three star general in a F-111 in a live-fire tactical environment, staying in formation with a tricked-out B-1. There wasn't much plot or suspense built up for me to continue to suspend disbelief and continue plowing through it, so I decided life was too short to finish it.

Terrific story
This is a book about the future of America's military where fewer do more, but always at the risk of bureaucrats pulling out the funding. Plenty of sci-fi, but not so much to make it seem unbelievable, but most importantly, wonderfully developed characters. Great read.

Unless you enjoy endless descriptions of acronyms and names of bombs (who cares if they're real or fictional) this is dull dull dull. The other 10% is devoted to plot and character development. I enjoyed the previous books in this series but this one is a loser - I made it about half way through before I decided to spend my time reading something worth reading.

The only thing that is missing is that smell of the flight line and the feel of the G-forces pulling on your body. This is a great storyteller doing the things that he has done for years. Can't wait to see him again.

Just what you expect from Dale Brown
Another great read from Dale Brown. Technical details are outstanding. You can tell that a lot of research went into this book. Great storyline and character development. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Dale Brown's books masterfully evoke excitement about what the future in weapons development might result in through the use of "old" weapon systems and brilliant new smart weapons.

Dale Brown's books are all guilty pleasures for me. This was no exception. I really enjoy his battle depictions. It keeps me on the edge of my seat. This was a very enjoyable book, perfect for a summer read

I did not like it. Although the thought of having a unified Korea is the world wish, the book is more of a technical work on missiles and airplanes. 90% of the books is that, the other 10% is about the unification and the fighting it took. Not a book of my likes.
September 7, 2022
Enjoyable. As a former "SAC-Trained Killer" I enjoy reading Dale's stories - ever since 'Flight of the Old Dog' He consistently delivers great action-packed thrillers. I especially enjoy reading about the 'Bones'.

I love the series but...
I love the Patrick M series, but this one seemed a bit rushed and lacked a bit of the excitement I've had with previous books. Still a decent read. I look forward to the next in the series

Fast paced but not in a rushing manner, everything flows smoothly both with the explanation of the operations and character development. Each character has had their "time to shine" but not in a obvious manner. Ending was sad but we'll worded, loved it and would definitely recommend others to read
December 6, 2025
The more of this book read I found I wanted to see how the story line ended. However the first ten percent of the book was to be endured, full of technical references in description of a mock air battle. Overall I found it tedious reading.

Good read, technically confusing at times. Hard to put the book down once you get into it. I will definitely look for another to read.
