Brown is batting a thousand with this fabulous next edition of the Nick Flynn and the Quartet Directorate stories.
Nick and his team ate once again in Russia attempting to capture or
kill Patel Voronin, mastermind of Russia's ruthless and deadly Raven Syndicate.
Voronin, with the backing of Russia's President Zhdanov has one mission and that
is to destroy the US and its place on top of the world order.
Knowing he has this only mission in his life, the Directorate needs to stop him in his tracks.
Great story with the usual spellbinding dynamics of high tech weaponry, identitiy takeovers and incredibly fascinating infiltration plans as the plot moves along with speed, definition and riveting suspense.
The characters, as always, are clearly defined, infinitely interesting and amazingly easy to follow in their assumed roles, as they undertake a highly improbable and extremely dangerous search and kill of the Raven Syndicate mastermind.
Can not wait for the story to continue.

Action-packed and daunting with violence, Dale Brown ups the game big time with a gruesome showdown behind enemy lines.

"The Devil's Fortress" is the fourth book in the Nick Flynn Series by the well known writer of technofiction, Dale Brown. It is being published by Blackstone Publishing who kindly provided me with an ARC for the purposes of this review. I have been following this author for many years, so you can safely assume that I am appreciative of his work, both in terms of its imaginative content and Brown's careful editing and technical skill in creating compelling fiction. That said, this book is no exception to my experience of Brown's work to date; it is a fun read
with roots deep in the history of our time, and anyone following the news, particularly from the Ukraine, will immediately respond to the echoes of those events in this series of books. The action revolves around the same Russian oligarch so prominent in every volume of this series, Pavel Voronin, who has created a mercenary force designed to undertake tasks too risky for the Russian government to undertake without plausible deniability. This organization, with obvious cognates in modern Russia, is here referred to as the Raven Syndicate. In this volume they have concocted yet another wild scheme to cripple the United States while avoiding a full on nuclear exchange. After putting up with these wild schemes throughout the series, Nick Flynn, our protagonist, is chosen to lead a team to terminate Voronin and hopefully end his endless scheming. This turns out to be a task much complicated by the heavy defenses deployed to protect his adversary and provides the basis of a fast paced and thrilling narrative, heavy on action, if occasionally over the top. I found it to be a quick and rewarding read for those seeking escapist fiction still anchored in the ominous realities of our world. It is a stand alone volume although knowledge of the earlier books enriches the reader's experience. I am happy to endorse it without reservation.
