Eye of the Storm
by John Ringo

The Fight for the Galaxy is On!

Earth's Posleen invasion is contained—at a huge cost in human blood and anguish. Now hard-nosed commander Mike O'Neal discovers that he's saved our world only to unwittingly lead humanity into slavery. It's another twist of the knife in the human back courtesy of those wannabe Masters of the Universe, the Darhel. But the Darhel are about to experience an even nastier revelation of their own. For there are other universes—universes with occupants so ravenous they make the Posleen horde seem like a Boy Scout troop. Occupants with the mind-bending power to open a door between realities—and invade a certain double-spiral galaxy like the plague!  As war turns to rout and slaughter, the Darhel have no choice but to beg the one man who hates them more than anything to lead the counter-attack.  General O'Neal, welcome to your destiny. The galaxy that betrayed you is now depending on you for salvation!

At long last — the latest and greatest entry in military SF master John Ringo's ground-breaking "Posleen War" series, and a direct sequel to his New York Times best-seller Hell's Faire.

"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo."
—Philadelphia Weekly Press.

"[Combines] fast-moving battle scenes with vignettes of individual courage and sacrifice."
Library Journal on New York Times and USA Today best-seller John Ringo's "Posleen War" saga.

Nice reading and I enjoyed the pulling together of several plotlines and stories around the Posleen war. But what, after the umpteenth time really ticks me is the horrible German verbiage. I cannot believe that you dont have one actively german speaking lector in your area. Usually I overlook stuff like Bruederschaft (if anything, its called a Bruderschaft and theres nothing like that over here. What John was looking for is called a "Verbindung" as in "Studentenverbindung"). What I totally stumbled over though was " that the MAINZ River flows into the Rhine". Sorry, if you dont even take the minute to look up a map dont expect me not to call you being daft as a brick. The river is called the MOSEL, MAINZ is the capital city of Rheinland Pfalz, dude. Dont get me wrong, I am not a grammar Nazi or something, but it certainly added up with all the "so-called" German stuff in the novel. If you plan on writing more stuff around the Waffen SS do all us german readers a favor and send it to one of us for proof-reading. I volunteer. My wife does, too. And she's a professional lector with a Magister Artium in English and German and proof-reads for a living. Your raping of the german language brings tears to my eyes. It really would show your professionalism at researching your novels if you'd do. Oh, just one more thing: The germans for all practical purposes dont swear in the army. Its not just frowned upon, its punishable. You even look at a fellow soldier queer and you could be in trouble. We are very strict about stuff like that. Its leagues apart from the americans. Keep that in mind next time. And that also counts for the Waffen SS which considered themselves to be elite. Especially in german elite units you wont find any swearing. Its beneath them.

What I find most telling about all the comments already registered is that even those who SOUND like they are pissed off can't give the book a less than 3 star rating. Could Ringo have given a more complete story here and less of a cliff-hanger ending? Sure. Does any true fan of the series feel bad that he has managed to bring the SS, Daisy Mae, Cally and the Bane Sidhe all back into the fold of the main storyline? Not a chance. I must admit that I am a little ticked that John has me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment, but it sure beats the series dying off, which is quite frankly what I was starting to expect would happen... Great job on this one John, can't wait for the next part!

John, you need to slow down and consolidate some of these series you have hanging. In a word, finish one job before starting another. Don't get me wrong I like your writing, but dude... listen to the fans here. Finish a series. FINISH ONE. Then start another and we wont end up with a book half finished. I mean were's the sequel to We Few? Where's the sequel to A Deeper Blue? (sigh) look man just finish some of these, pick any one... and finish it. Then start another ok?

There was a lot of diverse material to draw from and form some sort of coherent product. A heck of a challenge. I'm glad I bought it.

7. Vinson on 9/29/2009, said:

Good read, but this old ploy of leaving the reader handing is getting rather tiring. Having read most of the author work it is not surprising not to have some type of conclusion. The thought of getting one complete story out of this author is entirely too unreal to entertain. To come to think of it I don’t think we got halfway into the story before it is abruptly cut off. If I were to browse this book in the book store I would not have purchased it. So if you want a good story with a ending do not I say again do not buy this book. One other observation is that a good officer would not necessarily make a good senior non-commissioned officer

A book that does the job of setting up the next series but does not really advance anything that much. A little disjointed and probably should have waited till there were at least 2 in this series before buying.

I've had the dubious pleasure of downloading and reading, on my Kindle, the lastest installment of the Po'sleen/Aldenata experience, and to say it was incomplete would be equivalent to saying the national debt is small. I see that Mike finally connects with his clan and his daughters, good. I see that he is now the de facto leader of the known space military, okay. I see he has the opportunity to reconnect with some old friends, and with some new ones, all well and good. I even see the impressive Glynnis is back. Where I find fault is that this book should have been a few pages longer, like say 300 more. The ending is inelegantly done, as much a case of "I have to get this out the door now" as "Well, I can use the last part as a new book and just send in this part". Were I able to get a refund of my money, I would try hard, because this book only pulls together, from a long time of war, all the people we know about, and a few new ones. We are then introduced to a new invader, as well as given some perspective on the Himmits, and then ending with some information concerning the emperor of the Po'sleens advancing to earth. We are barely given information on the new invaders, or what is to take place. Overall, while the beginning and middle parts covered a lot of area, and allowed a consolidation of all parts under the authority of Mike O'Neal, the ending part left a lot to be desired...such as an ending. The end was abrupt, contrived, and left the reader wondering what the preceding portions had any relevance to. Wiithout a doubt, this was one of the worst endings in modern Sci-Fi, and that takes some doing. If there are a few hundred pages missing that inform the readers on the constituent portions of the new threat, maybe those pages could be put forth as a new book appendium to this book, so we readers don't feel like we've missed the entire reason for the book.

The sample chapters are misleading; the interesting bits with the displaced humans are set aside to give us another war, another attempt to rehabilitate the SS, more training sequences, and a new enemy. At least Ringo finally quit coming up with excuses not to use any of the Galactic tech he's described.
