Reviews
Wondrous Faire Praise for the Hottest Military SF Series Since Honor Harrington: A Hymn Before Battle "Military SF with a difference . . . and as much action as you could hope for. . . . And then there's that quirky sense of humor running like a vein of gold under the mayhem."
." . . practically impossible not to read in one sitting."
." . . explosive. . . . Fans of strong military SF will appreciate Ringo's lively narrative and flavorful characters."
"Ringo provides a textbook example of how a novel in the military SF subgenre should be written. . . . For those who have read everything David Drake has written or who may have wished that Tom Clancy, Larry Bond or Harold Coyle would write SF, Ringo provides what's needed . . . crackerjack storytelling."
Gust Front "Fans of Hollywood-style blood-and-guts . . . will enjoy [Gust Front] . . . all the flavor and excitement of the liveliest military SF . . . this novel should cement Ringo's reputation as one of the best new practitioners of military SF."
." . . splendid . . . makes Ringo look like a comer in the field. . . . [Will appeal to] flocks of readers."
"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo . . . good reading with solid characterizations--a rare combination."
When the Devil Dances ." . . since [Ringo's] imagination, clearly influenced by Kipling and rock and roll, is fertile, and his storytelling skill sound, [When the Devil Dances] is irresistible."
"For thoughtful readers, Ringo raises some tough and highly relevant questions. . . . Military SF fans should be well satisfied."
"Ringo demonstrates his flair for fast-paced military sf peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse."
