BE CAREFUL WHO YOU CHOOSE AS YOUR ENEMY,
HE'S GOING TO BECOME JUST LIKE YOU

Patricio Carrera has been waging what amounts to a private world war to bring to justice the murderers of his family; He's raised an army and air force and used them. He's raised a fleet and he's about to use that. He's suborned one republic and is about to undermine another. He's tracked his enemies across half a world, breaking, in the process, any notion of international law that stood in his way.

Now he's deployed his legions to Pashtia, penultimate hideout of the Salafi Ikhwan who have made him what he has become. But with each step further from his home, revenge seems no closer. And with each step he leaves behind him a little of his dwindling humanity.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Yet the trail itself grows cold, as cold as the snow-capped, windswept mountains of Pashtia. Only Carrera's hate still burns hot, and that's a fire that is slowly consuming him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In 1974, at age seventeen, Tom Kratman became a political refugee and defector from the PRM (People's Republic of Massachusetts) by virtue of joining the Regular Army. He stayed a Regular Army infantryman most of his adult life, returning to Massachusetts as an unofficial dissident while attending Boston College after his first hitch. Back in the Army, he managed to do just about everything there was to do, at one time or another. After the Gulf War, and with the bottom dropping completely out of the anti-communism market, Tom decided to become a lawyer. (Big mistake, way big. Chilluns, don't do it.) Every now and again, when the frustrations of legal life and having to deal with other lawyers got to be too much, Tom would rejoin the Army (or a somewhat similar group, say) for fun and frolic in other climes. His family, muttering darkly, put up with this for years. He no longer practices law, instead writing full time for Baen. His novels for Baen include A State of Disobedience, A Desert Called Peace, to which Carnifex is a sequel, and the forthcoming Caliphate, as well as two collaborations with John Ringo, Watch on the Rhine and Yellow Eyes.

    An excellent military sci-fi novel! This novel shows the horror of war even for the good guys, and the price they pay for what they have to do. Highly recommended!

    Very suspenseful. The author also does well at keeping the two simultaneous threads of this story (past and present) full of suspense. I am docking him a star for picking his editor poorly. He uses quite a bit of Spanish in this book, lots of it in the songs he has his men singing. There are lots of gramatical errors, mistranslations, and misspellings. It seemed very shoddy to me. Somos canzado de la guerra is the one that really got my goat. If you speak Spanish, you'll see what I mean. If you don't, ask a friend. Takes too much writing to properly explain in a comment.
