Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and, nearly simultaneously, a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising out of the disaster is the character known to history as "Bandit Six" an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild the world and prevent the fall of his homeland-despite the best efforts of politicians both elected and military. The Last Centurion is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a darkling mirror of our own. Written "blog-style," it pulls no punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy and organic farming not to mention all three at once.

A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, he brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction. His novels for Baen include those in the New York Times best-selling Posleen War series (A Hymn Before Battle, Gust Front, When the Devil Dances, and Hell’s Faire), the Council War series (There Will be Dragons, Emerald Sea, Against the Tide, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon), the nationally best-selling techno-thriller novels about Mike Harmon (Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain, Unto the Breach, and A Deeper Blue), the Looking-Glass series (Into the Looking Glass, Vorpal Blade, and Manxome Foe, the last two in collaboration with Travis S. Taylor),  four collaborations with fellow New York Times bestselling author David Weber (March Upcountry, March to the Sea, March to the Stars and We Few) and five collaborative spinoffs from the Posleen series: The Hero, written with Michael Z. Williamson, Watch on the Rhine and Yellow Eyes, both written with Tom Kratman, and the New York Times best seller Cally’s War and its recent sequel Sister Time, both with Julie Cochrane.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good yarn..., May 7 2008
By P. Bruneau (Charlottetown, PE, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought and read the ARC electronic version from Baen's...

This novel is typical no-holds-barred military speculative fiction by John Ringo. If you liked Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain etc., you will definitely enjoy this one. Less sex than the Kildar series, more action and some rather amusing potshots at the US military command system. I laughed out loud at his main character's comments on a certain political party's world view...with Ringo, there are always barbs thrown at someone and he NEVER disappoints.

SPOILERS

Basic plot is the American army's pull-out from Iraq...and there are some serious screwups by the new american president, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to a current democrat candidate... A reinforced company finds itself re-creating Xenophon's march of the 10,000 with a few twists: namely the fact they have more than enough equipment to take on all comers, the commander is quite level-headed, their support staff is nepalese and so on and so forth.
Realistic? As good as anything I've seen or read about in the last thirty years...enjoy.
