Publisher Description

One of the unquestioned masters of military science fiction, New York Times best-selling author John Ringo teams with real-life rocket scientist Travis S. Taylor for this action-packed sequel to Into the Looking Glass. The alien Dreen are still a terrifying menace across the galaxy, but Earth has a new weapon-the first human warp ship. Aboard the Vorpal Blade, America's tough-as-nails Force Recon Marines seek the Dreen, hoping to bring the fight directly to them. ". deals with the arcane mysteries of quantum mechanics, lending . an absurdist twist appropriately reminiscent of Lewis Carroll."-Publishers Weekly

"Crazy action in the Ringo style. And bizarre particle physics. What's not to like? Well, there are Ringo's political views for one. And perhaps he goes a bit over the top here. OK, more than a bit. Giant surfing space hamsters? Really? "

Overall Performance:
" Horribly edited bit of retro space opera. Redshirts indescriminetely killed off after being built into almost characters. Cover copy of protagonist doesn't match character. A rare bad job from Baen Press, which normally does better. "
— Jc, 12/20/2013
Overall Performance:
" Enjoyable military sci-fi. Nothing incredibly spectacular, but solid work and grittier than average for the genre while being liberally sprinkled with humor. Unusually high body count, so be warned those of you who get really attached to characters. "
— Miles, 12/13/2013
Overall Performance:

Overall Performance:
" Very interesting and different take on how we will get back into space. This is the first time I've seen the concept of using a converted sub, makes sense from a layperson's point of view, anyway. "

Overall Performance:
" Very enjoyable read. What would make it better would a little bit less rampant American patriotism and racial profiling. It was notable but not overpowering. "
