Product Description:
Beneath A Banner Burned . . .
In an instant the world changed for Lieutenant General Michael O'Neal. His beloved Corps of the last remaining ACS destroyed beneath the guns of the Fleet, his staff shot before his eyes, arrested on the charge of war crimes, he faces a short, one-sided, trial, a trip to the Fleet Penal Facility and a bullet to the back of the head while trying to 'escape.'
The Boundaries Blur
General Tam Wesley faces trying one of the most beloved heroes in Federation, not to mention a friend of decades, on trumped up charges. He alternative is having the last corps of humans that haven't sold their souls to the Darhel be taken apart like a chicken.
Then he finds out the bad news...
The Chaos Has Returned
With a new invasion from a previously unknown race threatening the Federation capital, Darhel Tir Dal Ron faces his ultimate nightmare: He is going to have to reinstate the one man human soldiers trust, a man with the power and knowledge to destroy the Darhel oligarchy forever. And instead convince him, against all logic, to save the Darhel.
Somebody is going to die. General Michael O'Neal, Supreme Commander, Federation Forces, just has to pick.

I have read most of the books in the Legacy of the Aldenata series and generally find them to be well written. As noted in another review this book has the chapter that never ends. The story follows his usual writing style and has the standard characters of his other books.
The one part that I found hard to believe was his description of the Waffen SS troops and their background. The Axix History Factbook ([...]) has a detailed list of each units war crimes. Those of individual ... Read More

Let me preface this with the fact that I have read all of the books in the series so far.
When I read this book I had visions of old 80s cartoons (Star Blazers), comic books, and heavily inspired by the Babylon 5 TV series.
I won't spoil much. I like how the loose threads got tied up from the Cally's war series and the Mike O'Neil series. However, there were many silly points in the book (for example a ship entity, channeling the Andromeda TV series), the Ebay like auction ... Read More

This was about up to par for one of John Ringo's Legacy of the Aldenata books. I'd rate it about 8 on a scale of 0-10. It was a pretty good read.

At long last, John Ringo comes back to writing the Legacy of the Aldenata. Admittedly, Julie Cochrane did a good job with the Bane Shidhe books, but I missed Mr. Ringo's voice.
Years after the Posleen War effectively ended, the Federation military, led by Mike O'Neal, is spending its time hunting down Posleen to ensure they will never again threaten the Federation. However, the Darhel are holding the purse strings tightly, not replacing the SHEVA guns when they're destroyed and only ... Read More

Inter-stellar wars have been a staple of SF since the Lensman series almost 75 years ago. However John Ringo goes for a psychologically realistic military SF plus masterfully complicated universe building. In this part of the series he emphasizes political intrigue worthy of Renaissance Italy in Machiavelli's time. All this is in service of a story that preserves a human dimension.
It is hard to imagine how anyone can maintain his sanity after decades of combat action. By the time of the events ... Read More
