Yellow Eyes
by John Ringo and Tom Kratman

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.

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

2. Robert on 2/19/2011, said:

Great 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.

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

4. Owen on 7/24/2009, said:

Liked: 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.

Things to note if you are going to read this: If you are Latin American, this book will probably offend you or otherwise piss you off. By and large, the description of Latin Americans is most unflattering. The fighting is pretty good. Character development is rather good too. I liked the way the enemy was portrayed with more than the usual depth. Don't read the afterword. The authors are ultraconservative and stuck in cold war mode. They come across as paranoid crazies you eventually hear about when they join some splinter group or other and bomb somebody or perpetrate some other crime only they can rationalize as "just doing their duty."

Very enjoyable – made me root for both the humans and the posleen, and despite all the dying, the book is quite full of hope. Two stars off for the unnecessary and paranoid afterword which is basically a declaration of hostile intent against us Europeans.

Good solid read. Excellent combat situations, Paris Hilton for the cover? Ech. Made me root against the ship....

8. Peter on 9/19/2008, said:

disappointing. The humor is juvenile and the moral difficulties are cardboard black and white. This series started well, but has degenerated into a morality play on The Evils of Cosmopolitanism. I mean, talk about straw-man situations...

9. Matthew on 6/1/2008, said:

This was one of my favorite books in this series. It's an excellent read and could be picked up even if you had never read another of the books in the series.

10. Brandon on 3/23/2008, said:

Very good book. I actually enjoyed this one better than the main books from the Aldenata series. Ringo continues his pattern of getting you to like characters and then offing them...ouch. Overall, good characterizations and I would love to see these characters return.
