Product Description

Product Description
When Alice went through the looking glass, at least nothing followed her back through the mirror. But when an experiment in subatomic physics went horribly wrong, gateways to other worlds opened up - and Hell's own spawn was on the other side. Unless physicist William Weaver and Navy SEAL Robert Miller can close the gateways, every living thing on Earth will be replaced by the spreading interstellar blight called the Dreen. They could sure use a vorpal blade - because mere nukes may not stop the Dreen...

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone but so much fun, 15 May 2007
By witwolf (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Into the Looking Glass (Mass Market Paperback)
John Ringo is one of the most interesting authors I have found in a long time. I came across his work through David Weber and a series of books they wrote together, the Prince Roger Saga.

I decided to take a chance and started reading some of his own novels and have been very pleasently surprised, so much so that I now own every book he has written and am constantly keeping an eye out for his new releases.

Into the Looking Glass is his first book in a new series, the sequel to be released some time this year. Basic premise of the book is that unexplained gateways have started opening across the world linked to various other planets and races. Some friendly and some not so much. The story centres around an expert called in by the US government.

Now the thing that I enjoy about Ringo's books is that they are pure escapism and do not care about political correctness. Always fast moving and at times very humorous, I can reccommend this book to any fans of sci-fi or military fiction.

2.0 out of 5 stars Physics for fun, 19 Aug 2007
By Andrew Shand (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This quote is on the cover: "If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo". While accurate, I wouldn't take this as a complement. There are pages of dreary exposition of physics that add nothing to the story and detract from the action. The worst though is the endless right-wing diatribes against the "ragheads" etc. Again, it just detracts from the story. As "space opera" this book fails; as a polemic it is tedious; it just doesn't do its job.
Borrow it from the library and then you will know if you want to buy the series.

1.0 out of 5 stars For profit only?, 5 Aug 2006
I reviewed this book for Amazon US not realising it wouldn't appear here as well. Someone has to say this, it is a thoroughly bad book for a number of reasons. Firstly, it preaches right-wing politics -much too preachy. Although of course this may appeal to some. Secondly it's really badly written, the characters are not even cardboard cutouts, the hero is good at everything except what his self-confessed redneck background suggests he should be - shooting. We spend numerous pages in what is quite a short book exploring characters who just disappear, so the plot limps along. If you want right wing science fiction try Heinlein, at least he knew how to keep a story going. Thirdly, although he has a reputation for getting the military stuff right it ain't right here. He completely ignores the US air force for instance -- it simply never appears except to ferry the hero around. Until I hit this site I didn't realise how many books he was actually writing, no wonder his writing has suffered since the Posleen trilogy. Not that it was ever great to begin with but got enough for the genre.
Lastly, the last 50 pages or so of the book get outright racist, one character mentions that Arabs can't fight properly for cultural reasons, you wonder how Mohammed managed to conquer the Middle East. Can do without this.
