Starting out reading this book, I almost couldn’t “get into it” initially. I didn’t read many reviews on it before buying it, so I didn’t REALLY know what to expect. Just taking a shot in the dark on something interesting looking at first glance. I’m glad I read it and truly enjoyed it after my initial misgivings.

The Good:
The relatively fast pace of the story helped me keep interested in the story through what might be “boring” storyline details. 5 years to melt an asteroid? Skipped. I feel that the author didn’t lose much in the way of detail by skipping through years in some cases during some mundane developments. Nothing happens quickly in space after all. It’s not on B.V. Larson’s level of fast paced (which I enjoy as well), but I would call it “streamlined”. This point is just personal opinion, but I felt that it was refreshing having a book written from a politically conservative point of view. I’ve had to put down books written in overtly liberal tones, so anyone with a liberal point of view will probably have the same experience with this book. I liked it, but it will not be for everyone for that reason alone.

Aliens attack Earth. The cowardly Americans and their closest allies quickly give up and it’s up to the heroic darker races of the planet, to the Latin Americans, the Africans, most of the Asians, to save the species. The aliens attack with a virus that kills most blond people. The swarthy humans counter-attack and invite the remaining Americans to fight for Earth, but first the Americans have to be taught how to fight properly: they must abandon their stupid and crass commercialism, their instinctual reaction to put profit before the good of humankind, and only then they’ll be worthy. Some Americans will learn, others will become traitors.

No, Ringo didn’t write this caricature of Anti-Americanism. I just did. But he wrote almost exactly the same thing in three terrible books, only some of the details are different: Aliens attack Earth. Most of humanity gives up, but not Tyler Vernon and, eventually, not the US. The aliens destroy metropolitan areas, killing most of the voters of the Blue States, leaving thus the field open to the Red States to take over (bad aliens, but thank you for the favor, wink, wink). Now that the pinko-lefty-peaceniks have been murdered, the US and Vernon go on the offensive. The aliens use a virus that manages to kill the poor and unwashed masses of the world (I’m not making this up), leaving the clean and well-off mildly bothered. An important aspect of the virus is that it gives blonde women an “in-heat” period and renders contraceptives useless. Result: blondes, horny blondes everywhere! Scandinavia and Germany with nine kids per blonde woman! Remember, tens of millions of “liberals” and billions of poor, dark people have died, but Earth’s output bounces back effortlessly (not to mention that Earth’s people are now a lot whiter) thanks to good ol’ American ingenuity and the right genes. Ringo makes the despicable Aliens responsible for what his main character, Vernon, describes as a good thing: kill off humanity’s excess baggage and everything will be just fine. It’s a repugnant philosophy, but one that the author truly embraces by the end of book one.

Book Two is incredibly boring, although not as blatantly racist as the first one. Almost no battles, just page after page of the life of two good American specialists on board the Space Station Troy that Vernon built. The humor is flat, the politics are militant Right-wing. The aliens show some promise of being interesting, but then the book ends. And after the end there is a eulogy, but more on that later.

Book Three outdoes the previous ones in everything, except on the insistence that making just blonde women go into “heat” is good for humanity: here, the virus is presented as a blessing in disguise, as in thanks for the horny blondes and for the hundreds of millions of white babies that will save humanity, but the education of those always pregnant girls has been negatively impacted. It’s a drag to read this book: slow, no battles except at the end, no character development unless one takes a few South American soldiers who have to learn to be less macho jerks and more super-efficient North American professionals. Ringo bothers to write a few words in Spanish and he manages to get either the grammar or the context wrong every time. It’s just Norte, not Norté with a fake emphasis on the “e.” It’s America del Sur, not “del Sud.” Still, this last book pretends to show how “all” (emphasis is Ringo’s) Latin American nations are. And he can’t even get a few words right. Some expert.

Ringo rules his universe like a stupidly hateful and blundering god. He presents his politics with a sledgehammer. He probably thinks that subtlety is a French word. Just like so many extreme conservative Americans as of late, he seems to hate the French. He despises “liberals” to the point that their extermination by the aliens is described openly as a net positive. He’s worried about the demographic bomb that faces the White race, so he has his aliens kill off the darkies and turn the blondes of the world into baby-factories. He’s careful to say that the bad aliens are horrible because they’ve murdered billions of humans, but if you read the books you realize he’s not sorry at all: this is a dream come true for him. He obviously knows nothing about the Spanish language or South American Navies. Hint, Mr. Ringo: Chilean sailors and officers do wear a name tag on their uniforms. Don’t you use Google Images? It’s not hard at all.

As a Chilean I must admit that Ringo is absolutely right about what would be Chile’s contribution to any interstellar war effort: close to zero. Maybe some highly trained troops. It’s fun that he included Chile and other South American nations in his sci-fi novel. It’s sad for my adoptive country, the US, that he did so with such self-righteous ignorance and venom because it reflects poorly on the education Ringo received. At the end of Book Two there is a eulogy for the author’s mother: heart-felt, beautifully simple, well-written, political but not reeking of hatred. That is the best part of the entire trilogy. That is where my only star goes.

Audiobook Live Free or Die by John Ringo

John Ringo, with his vast writing experience, kicks off his thrilling three-part series on alien invasion with the standout “Live Free or Die”. This title, reminiscent of New Hampshire’s license plate slogan, aptly sets the scene, as a significant portion of the book’s early action unfolds there. Readers are treated to space warfare, multiple intriguing alien species, futuristic technology, and, importantly, Ringo’s talent in sculpting characters we can genuinely root for.

The depiction of space-tech is both captivating and well-reasoned, showcasing Ringo’s commitment to crafting a plausible universe. His portrayal of extraterrestrial societies offers rigid boundaries that guide character actions, ensuring aliens remain true to their inherent characteristics. These beings aren’t depicted as omnipotent entities, but they are formidable foes, armed with superior technology and little regard for humanity.

Echoing the book’s title, themes of liberty weave through the narrative. Yet, where Ringo shines even brighter is in his deep dive into American political culture. Through an ‘alien lens’, he critically examines our political factions, offering a piercing insight that not all might agree with but will surely find enlightening.

True to his reputation, Ringo delivers exhilarating action sequences and grandiose battle scenes. His mastery in depicting combat and violence is evident throughout.

Having recently revisited the entire series due to my fondness for it, “Live Free or Die” stands out as not just an enthralling read but also a poignant commentary on human freedom.

Audio Live Free or Die narrated by Mark Boyett

I’ve delved deep into the realms of sci-fi and fantasy, having either owned or read roughly 75% of the books available in the genre. From Weber’s “Honor Harrington series” to Raymond E. Feist’s “Magician Apprentice series” and John Campbell’s “Lost Fleet series”, I’ve traversed them all. Yet, standing out amongst this esteemed company is John Ringo, who has cemented his place as my all-time favorite author. I assure you, diving into any of his works is a decision you won’t regret.

Reading his books is akin to being on a roller coaster. It starts off gently, only to thrust you into a whirlwind of emotions, leaving you eager for the next twist and turn. While some may argue about certain specifics in his books, I urge you to focus on the overall exhilarating journey rather than nitpicking minor details. The true essence of his writing is the immersive experience, which is sure to have you riveted from start to finish. So, ensure you have a comforting beverage nearby because once you start, you’ll be engrossed till the very end.

To offer a glimpse into the essence of his works: Imagine being trapped in a mundane job, dealing with insufferable customers daily. Sounds familiar? This might resonate with many, and it’s the life of our protagonist. However, don’t pity him for long. He’s the brains behind TradeHard and possesses a knack for transforming challenges into golden opportunities. And just when he’s at the pinnacle of success, intergalactic challenges arise. With an alien race dictating terms, the question arises: What’s the true worth of freedom? Dive in, and you’ll find out.

Perhaps if Mr. Ringo finds himself looking for inspiration, he might pick up where this series concluded. I have a deep fondness for space operas.
