A great book

Post by elvengate »

Hi all,

I thought I would drop by and post a recommendation.

The Last Centurion - By John Ringo

This book really does cover in very serious detail, what could happen in a Global Pandemic.

Thanks

Just ordered it for my tablet, read the first nine chapters on line, looks interesting if a bit right wing. What I have read so far is good PG Rating due to swear words.

It is a bit right wing, though it is written from the view of a person that was put into difficult positions by a leftish government.

What I found interesting is that the author had the character tell a story in relation to a global pandemic that has a high level of believability to it.

I hope you and others enjoy the book.

Thats weird , I just started rereading it today for the third time :D , Yep right wing and the first 25% is very much so and a bit preachy, but then it just gets much better.

I read a lot by John Ringo and it can be very variable, but try the Posleen war series , its very good once you can manage the American military speak
