1) Paperback Book Silver Tower by Berkley. Mr. Brown is apparently completely ignorant of basic chemistry, physics, and the space program. He introduces a complex laser weapon system that has essentially been created by a single person, although it contains superconducting relays (which would have to be keep near absolute zero of temperature)and a magnetohydrodynamic power source. He thinks that sodium carbonate and nitric acid will produce nitrogen gas, not carbon dioxide, and that this gas could lift a rocket. He thinks that a satellite could pass over the same spot on the earth in every orbit, in spite of the rotation of the earth. All of his descriptions of the U. S. and Soviet space programs are highly unrealistic, as are his description of the limited war, which surely would have started World War III. All in all, this is the most annoying book that I have read in recent years. I am ashamed to have spent enough time on the book to have read it all. However, I am glad that it checked it out of the public library and did not spend any money on it.¤

3) Paperback Book Silver Tower by Berkley. A great book that although published quite a few years ago is an engaging tale of possible near-future spy technology and warfare.¤

4) Paperback Book Silver Tower by Berkley. Under the heading of what else is new, let me get this staight, the main complaint is... too much technical jagon or too much technical detail? Dale Brown is talking about high energy laser or particle beam type weapons for gosh sake! If you want something that inherently complex reduced to single syllable descriptions perhaps you´re reading the wrong book? May I suggest a classic Superman or Batman comic book?¤

5) Paperback Book Silver Tower by Berkley. After a great rookie effort with Flight of the Old Dog, Brown falls into the trap which crushed many a technothriller author; boring politics, and too much droning techno babble. Skip it.¤

6) Paperback Book Silver Tower by Berkley. America has developed the most devastating weapon ever created-a laser defense system that will change the balance of power forever. And now, it´s about to be tested in battle.¤
