The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel. Now Tyler Vernon, and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station Troy, face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die-and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.
About the Author
John Ringo began writing for Baen in 2000 with his first release A Hymn Before Battle-the first novel in his Posleen Wars-which has become a New York Times best-selling series with over one million copies in print. The series continued with Gust Front, When the Devil Dances, Hell's Faire and Eye of the Storm. In addition, Ringo has penned the Council War series: There Will be Dragons, Emerald Sea, Against the Tide, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Adding another dimension to his skills, Ringo created nationally best-selling techno-thriller novels about Mike Harmon (Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain, Unto the Breach, and A Deeper Blue). His latest techno-thriller, The Last Centurion, was also a national best seller. A more playful twist on the future is found in novels of the Looking-Glass series: Into the Looking Glass, Vorpal Blade, Manxome Foe and Claws That Catch, the last three in collaboration with Travis S. Taylor. His audience was further enhanced with four collaborations with fellow New York Times best-selling author David Weber: March Upcountry, March to the Sea, March to the Stars and We Few. There are an additional five collaborative spinoffs from the Posleen series: The Hero, written with Michael Z. Williamson, Watch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes and The Tuloriad, all written with Tom Kratman, and the New York Times best seller Cally's War and its sequels Sister Time and Honor of the Clan, both with Julie Cochrane. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, he brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction.

Product ReviewA great book but I have to agree with Chris and Richard; the ending seemed very rushed and incomplete.
In my opinion and in answer to Matthew's question, as much as I enjoy reading Ringo's series of books, this one may fade away like his other series as this seems to be par for the course when it comes to his series. They all seem to fade out rather than actually coming to closure. As if he looses interest in the series and so leaves the series in a state of limbo as he goes on to whatever the next project is that has excited him. Great for him, frustrating for his fans....
I can only assume he does this thinking he will come back to what ever series it is when he has more time. In the mean time we are all waiting anxiously for the next installment. I think it's a tribute to his writing that we all continue to await the next book in series X (not so patiently) with anticipation....Posted on

Product ReviewI really enjoyed the book. But the last reviewer is correct, the end of the book is stilted at best. It left me completely unsatisfied. There were so many hanging fiddly bits in the story line. It genuinely seemed like Ringo hit a deadline and rather then say, "I need another week", he just pushed out an ending. Once again trusting that his audience would remember the early work and forget how the ball just dropped flat with the ending of this book. That said, until the Epilog, this was a very good read.

Product ReviewAlmost seems like John ran out of time, and was forced to end the book. I didn't care to much for the ending, to much of a jump from the previous chapters, both in space, and time.
The overall scenario of Earth vs Aliens wasn't advanced much during this book. Technology advancements has appeared to grind almost to an halt. Nothing new under the sun here. :-(Posted on
