Review title: The Hero is a Rapist?
Product review: Being a retired Army officer, I understand that, for some soldiers, the violence that it is necessity to apply to be an effective soldier can cross the boundaries into one's private life. That given, it is never acceptable or condoned. To have a hero of a novel denigrate the young women he rescues as ignorant, mindless liberals unworthy of his sacrifice, spend a second episode of the book in gratuitous S&M, and then have a violent rape of a prostitute by the HERO in the third episode begs the question as to Mr. Ringo's motives and/or attitude toward women. I loved his marine SF series, but I'm deeply disappointed in his latest offerings. Very disturbing stuff from John Ringo. If he's trying to make a point, I took it to be that he has issues.
