Review title: ghost: a pale reflection of john ringo's talents
Product review: I've always liked John ringo's hard-edged military sf -- his ability to talk in realistic terms of what it means to be a soldier and blend that with a skillfully-created future. so I was diappointed that this book was not sf. but I was even more disappointed in how shallow and one-dimensional this book is. True, the main character has character flaws. But they are so superficially described, it's like the hero is a caricature of a "real" person. The terrorist plot that kicks off this story is really dumb and makes no sense whatsoever. Ringo's less-than-one-dimensional portrayal of the press and "leftie liberals" and, yes, of conservatives too, may be a super-hawk Neo-con's fantasy, but not for a thinking person. There are much better SEAL/specops thrillers out there. don't waste your time on this dog of a book. I expect better from this fine author's word processor.
