“… Al Qaeda makes good its threat to destroy America. Its terrorists blow up the White House and the Capitol, killing the president and most of the US Government. The destruction of the White House brings about the death of Jude Winthrop's pregnant wife. The terror attack plunges the nation into a military dictatorship headed by the surviving Chief of Naval Operations, Joseph Greco.

"What Al Qaeda could not foresee was that their success would unleash the devastating fury of one man obsessed with revenge; a man who would rain death and destruction upon ‘The Organization’ and its allies." If this description of the hero of Tiger Legion, Jude Winthrop, does not get the reader's juices flowing in anticipation of a "knockdown, drag out" conclusion of Dan Santos' war epic, I am not sure anything else will.

Although the Insurrection series is not a dystopian epic, the reader might be reminded of 1984, and Orwell's warning of what could happen when people are willing to give up their freedoms without a fight. The year 1984 has long faded in our memories, and today we are not in the throes of a dystopian world. However, that latter fact does not weaken the thrust of the Insurrection series, even when read today.  While Jan 2015, the date of the upheaval in the series, has come and gone without the collapse of our government, the bold premonition of what can happen and how it can happen rings true if our leaders are not diligent in their efforts to protect our way of life. Of course, 1984 is basically pessimistic, while the Insurrection series is optimistic, since it recognizes that there are heroes in this land who will not go gently into that dark night of enslavement. Yes, there are more Judes and Kates, the main protagonists, in the world that Santos presents than there are Winstons and Julias, the woeful main characters, in the world of Orwell.

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 Kate, 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.

In Kabuki Theatre, audiences wait patiently for their favorite actor to display his most famous climactic virtuoso moment. When the actor does not disappoint, they scream out, "Matte imashita!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paul Turse (Author of The Year of the Gentle Willow and The Samurai Sword). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y4JK19R?notRedirectToSDP=1&ref_=dbs_mng_calw_2&storeType=ebooks#customerReviews
