More techno-thriller than science fiction, this is a picaresque tale about a modern Barry Lyndon who resists, with equivocal results, baser instincts brought out by extreme stress... and adventurous reader will find Ringo's latest insightful, exciting and outrageously funny.
A new depth of political satire, particular of "political admirals and generals", a great and novel space-twisting invasion, more great characters, and Ringo's uniquely visceral battles, all combine to make this book a hit.
