So when the President of the United States gets confirmed intelligence that a shipload of the stuff is headed for Florida, he orders that every stop be pulled out.
Including bringing in his ultimate weapon: The Kildar. WMDs headed for the U. Hell's Faire continues Ringo's Legacy of the Aldenata series, this time pitting Major Mike O'Neal against a Posleen overlord with impressive technology looking to conquer human territories. Prince Roger MacClintock, Tertiary Heir to the Throne of Man, was a spoiled rotten, arrogant, whiny, thoroughly useless young pain in the butt.
But that was before an assassination attempt marooned the Royal Brat and his bodyguards on the planet Marduk, and before they had to march half way around the entire planet, through degree heat and five-hour rainstorms in jungles full of damnbeasts, capetoads, killerpillars, and atul-grak, not to mention hostile peoples, to make their way back to port.
In the future there is no want, no war, no disease nor ill-timed death. The world is a paradise - and then, in a moment, it ends. The council that controls the Net falls out and goes to war. Everywhere people who have never known a moment of want or pain are left wondering how to survive. But scattered across the face of the earth are communities which have returned to the natural life of soil and small farm.
But things are about to change, if not for the better. When he sees a kidnapping, a series of, at the time logical, decisions leave him shot to ribbons and battling a battalion of Syrian commandos with only the help of three naked co-eds who answer to the names ''Bambi,'' ''Thumper'' and ''Cotton Tail.
When asubatomic physics experiment causes a massive explosion, interdimensional gateways open in Florida - and aliens pour out. Some intend to bring Earth to its knees. The first thing to say about this book is that it is great. John Ringo, as usual, does a terrific job in creating a story that has a good plot, reasonable and likable characters, a sense of humor and reasonable closure. There is some hard science and the terminology may be too much for some, but I found it reasonable in light of the things that were being done at the time.
The narration is very, very good and I found no technical flaws with the production. All in all a great and enjoyable read. If the second book in the series was also by John Ringo I would have already bought it. But that is the problem. Subsequent books in the series are listed as being by John Ringo and Travis Taylor. I assume this means that John Ringo has created the characters and, perhaps, the plot and given it to someone else in this case Travis Taylor to do the writing.
I have not heard this book so perhaps I am not being fair, but I assume this is the reason for the drop in ratings for the second book.
John Ringo's style is distinctive and he writes in a way I find enormously entertaining, but having someone else write subsequent books means that I generally plan to only read the first book in such a series.
April , I just finished this book. I think Mike said it first and better than I can. I enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. John Ringo is a fun author to listen to. Like Mike I will move onto book number 2. I use it at work on my phone.
John has a great gift of gab and the ability transfer it to paper. As long as he writes, I'll keep buying and reading. The reader does a good job on the audio book as well. Great story, great narration, even my teen loved it and wanted to hear more. This whole series is one of the bestJohn Ringo has done. Ganser brings this book to life. This is my second time through this series, and its just as good now as the first time. John Ringo has one hell of an imagination, and is great at making science fiction FUN!
This is about the 4th time I have listened to the book. Still picking up some things I missed previously. One of my favorite series.
Always a treat. Voices are great for the characters. Just wish the series had gone beyond the 4th book. Consistently interesting. Great science, combined with good action and good fiction. Ringo says that there were a few flaws in the physics for security reasons.
Can you find them? I've listened to this one a couple times, very enjoyable. I really like the narrator and the rest of this book series. I keep hoping to see a 5th book some day. Add to Cart failed.
