Work detailsWhen the Devil Dances by John Ringo
None. baen ebook   romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  Yet more of the same, only bloodier and larger-scale. Also, apparently Americans are the only people with either defensible terrain or any military competence whatsoever. (To be fair, a nod is given to Iran and its famously easy-to-defend uplands.) (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 | The humans are still getting their arse kicked, and it seems like the Posleen might be learning something approximating reasonable tactics. If this book was just that, then it would be a disappointing addition to the series (A Hymn Before Battle and Gust Front come before this book). However, there is also some interesting science fiction happening here. It seems there is some sort of conspiracy to control the humans, and there is certainly some dodgy human experimentation going on. Overall, a good book apart from the cliff hanger at the end -- I would be annoyed if I couldn't just pick up the next book straight away. http://www.stillhq.com/book/John_Ringo/When_The_Devil_Dances.html (  ) mikal | Dec 25, 2010 | Plenty of ups and downs, ins and outs. The pace continues as human and Posleen square off. Kind of leave one hanging at the end, though. ( ) ElementalDragon | Sep 30, 2008 | If you like RIngo's gung-ho, army only militry sci-fi style, you'll like this one. This is sort of the conclusion of the series, though it is clearly left open for more books. The people of Earth are barely holding out against the Posleen invaders. Mike O'Neal and his powered suit troopers are still the worlds hope, while they wait for the navy to arrive. (  ) Karlstar | Jun 18, 2008 | no reviews | add a review

"After five years of battling the Posleen invaders, human civilization is down to this: A handful of valleys in the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachians, Fargo, North Dakota and the Cumberland Basin. The scattered survivors in the Andes, the Himalayas, the Alps and the Gujarat can't be defined as civilization. They're just meat in a lobster-leg; tasty but too much bother to pull out." "Only in the Cumberland Basin and the Ohio Valley do humans retain culture, philosophy and learning. Only in the Appalachians and the Rockies do the humans hold onto their shattered defenses. Only there do they create larger aud larger engines of war to oppose the hated Posleen. Only there do they have hope. As they wait for the return of their forces. As they pray for survival."… (more)
