Manxome Foe - eARC
by John Ringo and Travis S. Taylor

Startling Innovations. 
Cool Space Ships. 
Evil Alien Butt Blasted to Smithereens!

Outpost Attack! 

Gateway HD 36951 lies in ruins.  All survivors slaughtered.  A single, truncated message sent back to Earth.  Something very bad indeed is afoot, and the A.S.S. Vorpal Blade (read: nuclear submarine converted to warp-drive space ship) is sent to investigate.  But the ferocious, voracious enemy Dreen wait for no man (or other carbon-based lifeform), and the Blade and her crew are soon the only hope for an alien species pushed to the brink of extinction.  Turn back and abandon a new ally or face a heavily-armed Dreen destroyer head on  

For the Blade's rough-and-ready crew, it's no contest.  And now, with an infusion of technical know-how from humanity's new ally, chaos itself has become a weapon!

New York Times and USA Today multiple best-seller John Ringo
joins with NASA and DOD consultant
Travis S. Taylor — author of Warp Speed and The Quantum Connectio

"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo."
Philadelphia Weekly Press on New York Times multiple best-seller John Ringo.

"[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.

Ringo my fellow Paratrooper from the 508th has done it again. Well done.

There was a day not long ago when I found myself stuck in "Craft Store Hell". I was saved (and I swear every other husband in the stinking craft store was jealous) by this story in ebook format and my trusty PDA. While my wife spent 2.5 hours looking at hand-made crap, I was laughing my guts out reading "Ringo/Taylor". "Ringo/Taylor" - it has a ring to it kinda like "Lennon/McCartney", "Webber/Flint" & "Niven/Pournelle". Did I mention how the PDA, Dogzard, and Patty marching upcountry saved me from slow death by BCS bowl one Thanksgiving? Down to business on the rating - with the injection of Mr Taylors technical expertise, Ringo's great combat fiction rises to become great "Science Fiction, Military" just as the late Mr Baen would have wanted. More than anything else, this book is just plain fun. I have read everything both Mr Taylor and Mr Ringo have published with Baen and this story again illustrates that sometimes, "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts."

Why are e-books more expensive than printed books? Why do they come out only after the printed copy? Where, exactly, is the extra profit in printing a book rather than publishing an e-book? Why are we suckers for putting up with it?

I finished this a few minutes ago. I wanted to savor this book, but it was too damn good! I read it like my hair was on fire! Thank you, Ringo & Taylor. *grumble* Now I have to wait anxiously for the next one. *grumble*

The series keeps getting better. And better and better... Whatever you guys do, don't stop. Most fun read in several years.

Defies description. Ringo gets better with every book he writes and he and the Doc together write pure magic. I really wish I'd bargained hard to become an important character instead of crabpus food Gunga Din in the second book. ^_^;;
