Classic SF 13 Dec 2004
By Harry
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have never felt I should review a book before but I have just finished this one and it is excellent. This is Footfall with tactics and Starship troopers without the politics. The enemy are believable and the heros have feet of clay sometimes.

I cannot recommend this book high enough.

This is a good continuation of the saga started in A HYMN BEFORE DYING, and I do urge you to read that book before this one. The first book deals with preliminary battles aimed at slowing down the dreaded Posleen before they land on Earth. In this book, they indeed land on Earth and the armed forces battle them and also rather muddled military bureaucracy.

The main characters are of course largely carry-overs from the first book: Michael O'Neal, Duncan, Pappas, and others. Some new characters are introduced including two or three that are only very briefly introduced but who will undoubtedly play much larger roles in the third book.

Music is introduced in this book and specific music is recommended for both the fictional characters and for the reader to listen to while reading.

Also noticeable in this installment is the author's use of dialogue. Several times, a scene ends with a piece of dialog from one character and is followed by the same piece of dialog from another character's mouth in a very different scene. Interesting technique.

The reader is credited with intelligence. In at least one instance, a couple of characters are mentioned, but not by name. Yet, you do know of course who they are, and do realize that they undoubtedly will be more important characters in the next installment.

One more thing to notice here is that we get a better look at the enemy which was largely faceless in the first book and will probably become even more of the next book.

I'm inclined toward being a dove and not into military fiction, but this book is well written and kept me interested all the way through. Those who really are into the military frame of mind should really love it.

Now the attack has com to earth, and humanity must fight it's hardest battle yet.

The sequel to A Hymn Before Battle continues the Earth battle against the Poslean who are now invading earth in massive hoards. Great action and wonderful how Ringo manages to also put in the touches of honor, duty, sacrifice and love into a great story.
