John Ringo is the New York Times best-selling author of the Black Tide Rising series, the Posleen War series, the Through the Looking Glass series, and more, including the Troy Rising series, of which Live Free or Die is the first installment. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, Ringo brings firsthand knowledge of military operations to his fiction.
In the near future of New York Times best-selling author Ringo's latest novel, written in the style of a blog and from the perspective of a U.S. Army officer, a society must simultaneously deal with a pandemic, an inept government, and a mini-ice age. The descriptions of ambushes and battles, clearly and skillfully narrated by actor/musician Dan John Miller, are especially exciting and realistic. Librarians should be aware, though, that the language can be crude and vulgar and the right-leaning political and moral commentary won't sit well with every listener.
