Wings of Fire (Patrick McLanahan Series #10) Book

This one isn't quite as heavy on "new" technology as previous entries in this series, but focuses more on the tactical use of the equipment that the previous several books developed. While the battle scenes were somewhat interesting, they were also, to my mind, a bit unbelievable. While I can buy into the "tin man" battle armor and systems, I have problems with the fact that only 1-3 men in this armor can defeat whole platoons and brigades of heavy armor, helicopters and other heavy weapons.

Also, the main character, Patrick McClanahan, who had been a quite engaging character in previous books, was extremely unemotional and one-dimensional in personality, especially in light of his personal losses. It isn't until the end of the book that we start to see the old character return to form.

However, I will be interested in reading the next several volumes due to the introduction of a pre-teen physics and weapons systems genius. Dr. Kelsey seems like a very interesting character to develop and works well with John Masters' character. I look forward to their partnership in future books.
