"The Last Centurion" by John Ringo

Criminally overlooked, "The Last Centurion" is one of the best hard, near-future military post-collapse thrillers in print. This book is for the reader, like me, who far too often finds themselves shaking their heads at characters that seem to be incapable of making good decisions. As is his trademark, John Ringo beings us a protagonist who is actually competent (unlike so many characters in fiction today) and laser-focused on his mission, willing to actually think through his actions to accomplish it using every resource available to him. If you're sick of books starring super spec-ops ninjas who somehow also don't understand that Glocks don't have safeties, "The Last Centurion" is your ticket!

FROM THE COVER:
"In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and, nearly simultaneously, a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising out of the disaster is the character known to history as “Bandit Six” an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild the world and prevent the fall of his homeland—despite the best efforts of politicians both elected and military. The Last Centurion is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a darkling mirror of our own. Written “blog-style,” it pulls no punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy and organic farming not to mention all three at once."
