The Last Centurion by John Ringo

Just finished the Audible version (because I am illiterate and cannot read) of "The Last Centurion" by author John Ringo. I give it 5+ stars! It's just the kind of book that survivalists might like, because it deals with a natural disaster (strangely the book parallels Covid 19) along with a touch of global cooling.

However, what really set this book apart from so many other stories are the substantially educational, political, scientific, technical and journalistic personal examples of just what is right. It's Heinlein-esqe, where it counts.

An absolutely great story, with a large helping on how to do things right and the results of doing so.

A quote from the book, talking about socialized medicine in other countries: “They discovered the irrefutable truth that when you put the same sort of people that run the Post Office in charge of your healthcare you get Postal Workers for health care providers.”

And another: “If we cannot remember who we are, if we cannot comprehend what it means to be this shining light on the hill, this country of wonder and riches, this . . . America, then we shall surely slip into the long dark night that the enemies of our freedoms so richly desire.”

The quotes stand alone, but when woven deeply into the story, it's perfect.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
