The Last Centurion (2008)

A tough slog in some places but an interesting read none the less. As a preemptive right wing strike; should the US ever elect a liberal female president, it opens will a definite and quite detailed analysis of how a pandemic spreads. Then, transitions to a lost company in Iran captained by no ordinary mortal. Refuting current thinking on global warming with a well reasoned counter theory, he makes the case for industrial level agriculture as the way to feed the world. Then, he resolves most of the historic Mideast problems on his way to capture Istanbul assisted by some Nepalese turned into instant Gurkhas and the usual bevy of beautiful women. ( )

Another good alternate history. This one on Earth, in our time. We can only hope that the armed forces have people like this in them. A no-nonsense look at a possible result of current policies. ( )

Great! -- Reads like a cross between Heinlein and Clancy! Definitely a keeper

Disappointing. Strong development of theme but seemed blatant politial militant commentary ( )

Although this book is a prolonged attack on Blue State thinking, Global Warming, Democrats, and Hillary Clinton; it is an excellent, funny read (I am an effette Blue Stater). Written in the form of a blog recounting the prior seven (7) years or so, it describes an Earth suffering from a Plague and a new Ice Age. I hghly recommend it. ( )
