Stand Against the Posleen Horde!
Earth invaded! The Posleen aggressors eating what population they don't outright vaporize! Now the aliens are closing in on a vital choke point for the humans: the Panama Canal. No canal, no food. No food—the North American resistance crumbles, and hope fades. What's worse, slimeball appeasers within the U.S. State Department (surprise!) are set to sell out the resistance to another race of would-be galactic overlords.
One problem for our enemies: when the chips are down for humans, heroes have a habit of arising: A captain of industry who whips a corrupt and inefficient Central American kleptocracy into fighting shape within weeks. A retired Panamanian woman warrior who returns to the field of battle to rally her people in a last stand to save their children. And a battleship that is literally brought to consciousness by the echoes of ancient naval tradition (and a sentient A.I.) to fight ferociously for her country — and the captain she's come to love.
It's a rip-roaring epic of tactics, heroism, and survival as only two masters of military SF (both of whom served in Panama during their stint in the Army) can tell it.
Multiple New York Times and USA Today best-seller John Ringo and Tom Kratman, collaborator with Ringo on the intriguing and controversial Watch on the Rhine, deliver another exciting entry in Ringo's hugely popular Posleen War series.

Product ReviewI found the thread of thought in his first book that the posleen horde were not the real enemy, and were people. excellent twists and sub plots. also, nothing is ever false in the actual history department. the biggest enemy in the usa is our own state department, who has been playing one people against another in central/south America for 100 years or more. All of Ringo's books should be labled Political Science History Fiction

Product ReviewExcellent read, fast paced, plenty of action. Has a clear satisfying ending rather than a cliffhanger or a teaser.

Product ReviewGreat story. Liked the insane AI/ship bonding. Wish it had done it with the battleship. They are the lost kings of the sea. The story is a little piased toward US superiority over Latin America.

Product ReviewThe insane AI linking to the spirit of the ship was wonderful in every sense of the word.

Product ReviewLiked: the story & plot; the Posleen side of things; the build-up and battle descriptions; the decision to let the characters get killed in the story, rather than always surviving all odds - odds are against it...
Disliked: the slagging off of those (one of?) the authors put outside their political Pale.Posted on
