Choosers of the Slain (Paladin of Shadows, Book 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)And i got to say, that the tradition and style of John Ringo's writing kept me up all night reading the book on my computer.
Choosers of the Slain is a continuing book about Mike Jenkins and his "life" and his effects on people who enter it as well as those that affect him. In Ghost, After retiring from the service Mike starts to use his college benefits and performs a daring rescue of American women held hostage, he gets his reward on the death of several "bad" people and lives a life of luxury and travels the world where he ends up in Georgia. "Kildar" begins with him purchasing a valley filled with farms and tenants. The tenants are special in that they are a people different from the local population, i don't want to give too much away, but after training these people and doing a few local missions, "Choosers of the Slain" begins with more plots and intrique. From senators and pimps the action doesn't slow down.
Ghost, i purchased on a whim, my first e-book purchase. My second was Kildar, and now i bought this one as well. I can't wait to read the next installment, as there seems to be plenty of potential story lines John can go to from here.

Ghost Force Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I personally lost count as to how many times the SEALs (in enemy territory) were quoted as 'yelling'. That personally amazed me. Then we have the same SEALs and SAS operators using 'flashlights' in enemy territory again. Then they placed explosive charges in 'Both' A4 Skyhawk engines, when they only have one. Then they placed their initiating daisy chain for all the explosives on the tarmac connected to each other on a four hour time delay. Wrong Wrong Wrong. You just do not do that. Next you have the SATCOM communication gear being 'direction finded' by the enemy radio operators. That doesnt happen. They use a narrow satellite beam and it is directed directly at the satellite. Another big wrong situatio was when one of the operators was wounded, and they are ripping shirts and other items to dress the wound. Nope! the SEAL corpsman would have broke open his London Bridge trauma bag and dealt with it.
There were just too many errors in the technical and tactical operations of this book, they simply distracted from the story (over and over again) I usually run through a book in a day or so, but this one, I had to put down over and over until I forced myself to get through it.
I am ranking this 3 stars based upon Patrick Robinsion's past novels. If it was a stand alone, it would rate 1- 1.5 stars, max.

The year is 2011.

An oil-hungry world is starving . . .

. . . and Argentina, with Russia's help, is determined to brutally wrest the petroleum-rich Falkland Islands from British hands. Enraged over this brazen act of international piracy, Great Britain dispatches a battle fleet to the islands for the second time in thirty years—unaware that Viper K-157, a lethal Russian Akula-class submarine, lies in wait, stuffed to the gunwales with ship-killing torpedoes.

America cannot sit idle as hell explodes in the South Atlantic and, under the stern eye of Admiral Arnold Morgan, the military's most powerful weapon is unleashed to hammer Argentina into submission: the U.S. Navy SEALs. The outcome of the unforeseen war that's igniting in America's backyard ultimately depends upon her awesome "ghost force” and their successful execution of two remarkable clandestine missions—while the consequences of failure may be too terrible to consider.
