Description

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE . . .

With the Earth in the path of the rapacious Posleen, the peaceful and friendly races of the Galactic Federation offer their resources to help the backward Terrans—for a price.

Humanity now has three worlds to defend.

As Earth's armies rush into battle and special operations units scout alien worlds, the humans begin to learn a valuable lesson: You can protect yourself from your enemies, but may the Lord save you from your allies.

    Classic John Ringo, beginning of a great Military SciFi series. Too bad the series is not yet concluded, I hope Ringo still has more Aldenata stories in him.

    Very well written. Catches your attention and keeps it. You really get to know the characters just well enough.

    I still remember reading this book and everything happening around me. If we had the luck of electing leaders that really cared about the country. I believe this to be a possible outcome. Considering it was written by an ex wind dummy, the book is a great fantasy.
  • What a ride!

    If you like sci fic military stories. This is an excellent series! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in join the military. It gives a fair look into command structure and it's faults.
