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 that dwarfs any in recorded history. Rising out of the disaster is a character known 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 dark reflection 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.

“I am your Centurion. This America shall not fall!”

“[John Ringo’s novels are] peopled with three-dimensional characters and
spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.” – Library Journal
“John Ringo’s done it again! Ghost is a complete adrenaline rush, filled
with nonstop, kick-ass action and hair-raising suspense.” – Richard Marcinko on Ghost

This review is from: The Last Centurion (Hardcover)
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.
