WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE . . .
With the Earth in the path of the rapacious Posleen, the peaceful and friendly races of the Galactic Federation offer their resources to help the backward Terrans—for a price.
Humanity now has three worlds to defend.
As Earth's armies rush into battle and special operations units scout alien worlds, the humans begin to learn a valuable lesson: You can protect yourself from your enemies, but may the Lord save you from your allies.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Ringo had visited 23 countries and attended 14 schools by the time he graduated high school. This left him with a wonderful appreciation of the oneness of humanity and a permanent aversion to foreign food. He chose to study marine biology and really liked it. Unfortunately the pay was for beans. So now he manages a quality control database and the pay is much better. He hopes to someday upgrade to SQL Server. At that point life will be complete.
With his bachelor years spent in the airborne, cave diving, rock-climbing, rappelling, hunting, spear-fishing, and sailing, the author is now happy to let other people risk their necks. He prefers to read (and of course write) science fiction, raise Arabian horses, dandle his kids and watch the grass grow. Someday he may even cut it. But not today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe he'll just let the horses.

Product ReviewIf John Ringo wrote the phonebook it would be an awesome read. Hymn Before Battle he has made Kipling proud.

Product ReviewGreat book but this used to be in the free library so i am giving it three stars, How can you go from a free library book to a paid book? What happens to all the people who donated to the free library in part because the first two books in this series were in it?

Product ReviewI don't always read war oriented SF, but when I do John Ringo is the author to read.
I read "Hymn" a few years ago, and just re-read it and it still holds up. A classic is always a classic.Posted on
