After long ago reading
Tam's take on John Ringo's novel
Ghost and the rest of the
Paladin of Shadows series, I just stayed away for a decade or so. Finally though, after finishing two of Ringo and Mike Massa's tactical-badasses-meet-zombies books (
thoughts here), I jumped in anyway. At least the first novel in the
PoS series, and just on kindle – so it was really cheap and doesn't take up any space. BLUF: Not my cup of coffee. Ringo wrote this and its sequels to get this stuff out of his head so that he could go on to more productive work, then got badgered into publishing it. Frankly, he shoulda left the money on the table.
If all that sounds cryptic, here, read the way-too-sunny
blurb at 'zon, and read a much-too-long
review at this moribund blog. The book was a popcorn-muncher to be sure, but life's too short for guilty pleasures like this one. Too damn sickeningly gooey, like a jar of Nutella and a spoon at 3am, but not sweet in any way. No, just... no.
