Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017 Verified Purchase Insurrection: Tiger Legion
In Tiger Legion, Santos continues his use of actual locations throughout the USA to create a sense of reality in the delineation of the world he creates to increase the sense of credibility to the story, especially for those readers who are familiar with these areas. In fact, although Tiger Legion is fiction, the exciting conclusion, as in the earlier books, reads like a scholarly history book/military field manual that has been infused with dramatic and gritty descriptions to illuminate the flow of the action. That aspect, along with Santos' skillful use of sensory detail and strong character development, especially as he delves insightfully into the hearts, spirits, and minds of the protagonists, helps to put the reader right into the action and to feel and empathize with the characters.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of the Insurrection series is the fact that readers will care as much about the characters in the novel as they do about the ultimate insurrection, since the fates of the main characters, Jude and Julia, especially, are intimately tied to the fate of our country. While romantic interludes during combat in war stories can be sometimes stereotypical, Santos' treatment of the relationship between Jude and Kate is handled with a unique cleverness and freshness as he toys with and teases the reader, who is hungering for the climactic moment of their relationship, which is delicately and tastefully delineated throughout the series and ultimately completed in Tiger. The reader will hope that as order in the world is restored that the destiny of Jude and Kate will be fulfilled.

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018“Insurrection:Tiger Legion” is the denouement of Dan Santos’s thrilling “Insurrection” trilogy. The disparate threads of the “Insurrection” story come together in a series of thrilling resolutions that range geographically from New York to San Diego to international capitols, and interweave important political, military, and social aspects. Mr. Santos is a keen observer of current political, diplomatic, and military events and he puts his wide ranging expertise in the service of Bringing verisimilitude to both his characters and scenes. Start reading “Insurrection :Appalachian Command” , move quickly to “Insurrection: Mile High Blood”, and complete the heart-pounding trilogy with “Insurrection:Tiger Legion”. A ripping good story

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017 Verified Purchase Dan Santos at his best; all the right words and phrases, the right story and the right ending. From an"old Vet": Insurrection: Tiger Legion brings back memories to men and women who "rode to the sound of the cannons". In my time I met some Jude's and I married a Kate - it doesn't get much better than that.

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021 Reminiscent of The Man in the High Castle but against 21st Century antagonists, Insurrection is the story of Americans rising up to retake their country from foreign occupiers. The hero of the story is Jude Winthrop, a skilled and troubled soldier who makes gutsy yet often morally dubious decisions in his relentless push to win the day. Santos ends his Insurrection series with a gripping page-turner. Well done! ...
