A short guy saves civilization.
I have read and reread almost all of this author's books. He has the ability to create vivid action scenes and has a panel of experts that keep him from obvious technical errors and misunderstandings. In addition his worldview is not far from my own in most cases. His scenes are plausible and humanity is capable of coming out on top in his end of the world as we know it scenarios. I can't wait to see what the muse has him pursuing after his current dryspell.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Ringo scores again and there is science in this fiction
Ringo puts the science in science fiction. And he tells a very good story, also. Told from the point of view of the Centurion (with a few editorial comments from his wife) we get the low down on what happened and how folks worked their way through. Vintage Ringo and that is quite good.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Excellent action packed book. Very relevant to the government pandemic response.
Provides a roadmap out of the consequences of socialist-communist policy. Very relevant to the pandemic response in Democrat run states. There, they make a series of poor choices and the media covers for them. The people get nothing. The elites live well as society collapses.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
