Publisher Description

In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is struck by two catastrophes: a new mini ice age and, nearly simultaneously, a plague that dwarfs any in recorded history. Rising out of the disaster is a character known as “Bandit Six,” an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild the world and prevent the fall of his homeland – despite the best efforts of politicians both elected and military. The Last Centurion is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a dark reflection of our own. Written blog-style, it pulls no punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy and organic farming - not to mention all three at once. “I am your Centurion. This America shall not fall!” “[John Ringo’s novels are] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.” – Library Journal “John Ringo’s done it again! Ghost is a complete adrenaline rush, filled with nonstop, kick-ass action and hair-raising suspense.” – Richard Marcinko on Ghost Selected from AudioFile as an Earphones Award Winner

"I loved this book! In the beginning, you have to wrap your mind around a good bit of military speak. Once you've navigated through that part, the rest of the book is one staggering, geo-political adventure of epic proportion. Banditsix is super cool and twice as smart as most people. I loved the way they filmed the battles they fought and made it into a reality TV show. It is basically a very cleverly written commentary on what would happen if the worst types of politians were in charge when the world goes very crazy in a short period of time. It is shuddering to think that so much order and peace rides on the decisions of our leaders. There is a very conservative tilt to the political aspects of every subject covered. But I have to say, Mr. Ringo is very persuasive in his arguments against organic farming. My eyes were opened a few times to many things I've never considered. I will definitely read this book again!"

    " Not often I come across a post-apocalyptic book from a neo-conservative; the fact that I sometimes wanted to yell at the book (pretty much everything related to global warming is sophistry and nonsense) kept me going at times. On the other hand, a good compelling story with a very different take on how the world might fall apart. "

    " EXCELLENT read -- 10 years in the future, a worldwide plague wreaks havoc, people keep yakking about global warming even as an Ice Age sets in, an incompetent Hillary Clinton-type is president, and our hero is fighting his way through the Mideast ... "

    " No aliens in this one... a near-future 'what if' with a fair amount of political/social perspective. Written blog-like from the perspective of a soldier left guarding a pile of military equipment in Iran after the world goes to hell. "

    " Standard Ringo book, Word of warning if your a liberal do not read as it will make you see red. He puts all the fav Lib talking points (Global Warming, greenies, incompetant politicans) on trial and kicks their butts. "

    " Very dry reading, not one that I would call action packed, despite what the jacket says. A pretty good story that will reinforce what the right thinks about the left. I've added "Tofu Eater" to my lexicon. "
