The Galaxy at Risk!
Humans have come a long ways since the looking glass gates first appeared and an alien menace turned a motley crew of scientists, sailors and force recon Marines into battle-hardened space adventurers. Now with other species running scared, it’s up to humans to take the lead and mold a weapon capable of checking the Dreen—a galactic cancer that has so far proved unstoppable. Their arsenal A hodge-podge of powerful technologies begged, borrowed and/or looted from across the galaxy and cobbled together on what has to be the strangest ship ever to ply the starways: the good ship Vorpal Blade II!
Great Ideas! Cool Space Ships! Evil Alien Butt Blasted to Smithereens!
"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo."
—Philadelphia Weekly Press.
“[T]his thoroughly enjoyable ride should appeal to techno-thriller fans as well as to military SF buffs."
—Publishers Weekly on John Ringo and Travis S. Taylor’s Into the Looking Glass.

Product ReviewMaybe it is me, but this installment just didn't capture my interest. It started out extremely well, but sort of droops at the end. The story line is interesting and does well but the last half of the story just seems to explain the story, rather than involve the reader in the action. I would say it is worth reading, but overall not as good as the previous installments.

Product ReviewTwo Gun gets married and his wife wants him to become a General. The Chinese and Russians catch on that the Americans are hiding some technollogy (Again!) And the author tries to showcase an Indian general and fails miserably. Why do Baen authors (especially Military SF types) have no idea how to depict Indians in stories. I mean they are one fifth of the world population and unless the author has been living under a rock he should definitely have met a live Indian by now

Product ReviewPrabuddha, clearly you are a person of Indian origin. I have no problem with you saying that he has failed miserably depicting the Indian general, but at least read the entire book before you start critizicing. Ultimately you may have a correct picture of the character, but you have only read a few pages so far. At least he took out the alien curses, that for me was a big pet pieve, it would break the flow of the book.
