Fourth in the series (and currently last, though the ending implies another installment), this installment was fun and fast-moving. Ringo specializes in military scifi, and he has the military part down pat. His interpersonal relationships are really poorly drawn (and ridiculous, and sometimes downright offensive) but he makes up for it with his depth of understanding about how the military operates, even when battling orcs in space. I wish there had been either a clearer description of the ship where the major battle takes place or a map, because the action is intricate and hard to follow in the absence of either. Also, I just took a master's level class in bioastronautics, and I'm pretty sure there are some important technical details that are incorrect. But there is a battle, in space, with orcs, so who am I to complain? Men will like this better than women, but I liked it too. This book didn't review well, but I thought it was ok. Its not the best book in the Council Wars series, but it is readable and has an interesting story. It doesn't wrap up the story line completely though, so I guess I'll have to wait for the next one to be written. http://www.stillhq.com/book/John_Ringo/East_of_the_Sun_West_of_the_Moon.html The battle for world domination continues, but at this point priority has shifted to a race for space. The side that can get to the incoming fuel shuttle and manage to retain control of its priceless cargo will have a better than even shot at gaining the upper hand. As always, Herzer's the go-to guy. With Megan and a few other familiar faces, teams are formed and training commences. Hard decisions will have to be made, and (as usual) not everyone will make it back alive. No Bast, which was too bad, and this isn't the final chapter - too many loose ends still to be clipped. Hopefully, Ringo will continue the series soon, as it would be nice to know how things finally turn out.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Council Wars (4)
When the council that controlled the world spanning computer Mother fell out in civil war, it plunged the world in an instant from high-tech utopia to medieval nightmare. Now Herzer Herrick and Megan Trevante have been assigned the mission to capture the spaceship that supplies the fuel for the whole world. Given that Herzer vaguely thinks orbital decay is something having to do with teeth it should be . . . interesting. With all the usual combat expected in a John Ringo novel, East of the Sun and West of the Moon sheds new light on the bizarre relationship between Herzer and Megan, the politics of the new born world and fascinating details of space technology. .

Not the best of the series, but still solid. Ringo also shows his male character actually have heart and understand the difference between love an sex.
My big problem with this book was it didn't have any elves in it. I expected it given how the elf plot ended in the last book. Hopefully we'll see more in the future. ( )
