interesting read... not for the lefties here at gfy. story concerns a bird flu plague and climate change to 'cold' weather through sun activity. written in 2008

https://www.amazon.com/Last-Centurio.../dp/B00APA1HKC

First of all I want to say to the people that complain that the first 120 pages of this book are nothing but political rantings: Kick rocks. I think the response of the fictional "President Warrick" (the main protagonist often uses a different, much less Christian word for this obvious caricature of Billary Clinton) would have responded in EXACTLY the same fashion when faced with the two crises described in the book.

The book describes how a the world is decimated by first a "The Plague", as the author describes not really a plague, but a mutated strain of the H5N1 "bird flu" that is now able to transmit from human to human. When the first breaks out, the President orders that the vaccine be delivered to county health offices and that people go there to get immunized. Yes those first one hundred pages may be rantings against the left-wing people in this country (or tofu-eaters) but I personally agree that the way Mr. Ringo describes is pretty much how this would play out. Mrs. Clinton/Warrick would panick, over-compensate with the "I'm in charge, and nobody is going to tell me different" reaction and cause many needless deaths in the process.

And yeah once it gets to the part of the US infantry company getting left behind in Iran and using situational ethics and then doing the whole 10,000 bit across the Middle East, the story is a whole heck of a lot more interesting. But I personally think that you can't have one without the other in this story.

Once again, if you don't liike it don't read. For me, I think it's a great read.

I started to read the "peek inside" but the writing was way too sophomoric.

If you like the military science-fiction genre then I would suggest the work of David Drake.

Nice guy. Vietnam vet. Throws a great birthday party.

the book is very detailed, explains modern farming compared to organic farming using the amish as a base line..... very good info and realistic on the cool weather.. yeah libby's have no god so they want to control everything. libby's are actually arrogant enough to think man can control the climate on this planet and change sex randomly

I've read drake, don't think the writing on the last centurion is sophomoric. check out the 'forever war' joe haldeman. one of the best

I have not read it and do not plan to ( I do NOT like " disaster" anything), but am sure that all the anti maskers and anti vaccine idiots will love how in this book the vaccine was kept only for the wealthy and powerful.

God sent us the plague to rid of us of Trump. It worked.
