Review by Elisabeth for The Malacca Conspiracy
Rating:
It’s the Fourth of July, and rather fitting that I’ve just turned the final page of Don Brown’s new geopolitical thriller, The Malacca Conspiracy, as the book has a decidedly patriotic feel. With our nation’s capital, Washington, DC, as one-quarter of the exotic, landscape quartet along with the far-flung destinations of Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, Mr. Brown has the reader traveling the globe without ever having to leave the comfort of her bedroom slippers.
And true to form, the rockets glare and the fireworks explode off each page of this novel leaving me satiated, but still wanting more. From reading all five of Mr. Brown’s novels, I have discovered that he is the master of the plot, moving the story along seamlessly with grace and detail, and the skill of the masters of his time. He had me chomping at the bit to know what was going to happen next.
The book has something for everyone. With a flair for the dramatic and penchant for sniffing out percolating controversy, Don Brown keeps the reader on the edge of his seat. Gentleman readers will love the high-stakes action and the geopolitical implications. Although the author has a knack for seeing the future having predicted the 2008 shooting war between Russia and Georgia in his novel, Black Sea Affair, I hope his crystal ball is on the fritz this time around, and our country is safe from the any of his fictional fireworks.
As for the ladies, don’t be fooled by political and military undertones. The author has brought back two popular characters from his first three books in The Navy Justice Series, Zack Brewer and Diane Colcernian, and the sexual tension between the two sizzles like the burgers and dogs on your grill. Happy 4th and enjoy this and all four other Don Brown novels.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit – the plot was good, and it was definitely a thriller along the lines of Tom Clancy. A little less meaty than Clancy, but that was fine – if you can say it in 400 pages, why bother with 750 pages?
The one thing that bugged me was that the book was either too religious – or not religious enough. I’m not a fan of “Christian fiction” any more than I am of “Hindu fiction” or “Buddhist fiction.” I would like to read a book that is a good book, and whatever the religious background of the author might be really doesn’t enter into whether or not I like it. If it’s a good story, I’ll read it.
That said…the religious aspects of this book were plopped in here and there rather than being woven throughout the book. That made it a bit jarring and unbelievable. If the characters are religious, make that a part of them rather than “oh, it’s time to throw in some Bible verses here so let’s find a way to do that.” I would be reading along, engrossed in the plot and whether or not the bomb was going to go off and BAM…a page or two with some quotations from the Bible. If there had been more Christian references, it wouldn’t have stuck out so much since they would have been built in as part of the story and plot. If there had been fewer references, it wouldn’t have been as noticeable. That was the only issue I had with the book, it just made those sections stick out and feel a bit disjointed with the rest of the story.

Don Brown’s 5th book in the Navy Justice series is the best yet! A complex plot involving terrorism in the Malaccan Strait, combined with several sub-plots (including the ongoing romance between Zack and Dianne), makes for a thrilling page turner. You won’t want to miss it!

Malacca is brilliant and I love everything about Brown’s storytelling through the book. I do not agree with any review that it creates a bias against Muslims, but will say I suppose depending on what picture frame your reading through it could be taken that way and apparantely has been. I don’t know what to say other than I think the story is brilliant.

Although I haven’t read any of Don’s other books, I definitely strongly reccommend “The Malacca Conspiracy”… Don has the gift of vividly describing scenes to make you feel as though you are there, and this would be a great read to take along with you on a late-summer vacation! Get ready to witness an adventure!
