"Bad Use of a Foreign Language" according to Joel D. Ferry. I have read most of Dale Brown's novels and have thoroughly enjoyed them all with the exception of "Edge of Battle." What greatly bothered me about this novel was the atrocious use of the Spanish language. Mr. Brown heavily relied on Spanish quotes in his novel which in and of itself is perfectly fine. However, practically every time he used Spanish he grossly mutilated this beautiful language. It was quite evident that whoever helped Mr. Brown in his use of Spanish quote. Great book Larry Reed Love the author, missed this. One. Ultimate Techno Dale Brown is fantastic. This was just another addition to my collection of his books. ALL of which I have read!
