"Act of War" (Dale Brown)(audio) - I have to wonder who is the target audience for Dale Brown's work. Do they appreciate the cheesiness? Or do they actually take it seriously? I mean, the "good" people are all super-good (and beautiful) - while the "bad guys" eat kittens (and are usually ugly and scarred).
That said, I did have to appreciate this book codifying the phrase "he's got the atomic bomb!" (said in the same vein as "he's got a knife" or "he's got a gun"). Not that anyone actually said it, but Brown set up the situation.
Brown did manage to set up a surprise at the end, although the voice acting gave it away somewhat earlier than would probably come about from just reading it.
