Gust front

Front Cover
48 Reviews
Baen Books, 2001 - Fiction - 597 pages
The aliens had arrived with gifts, warnings, and an offer we couldn't refuse... Our choice was simple: we could be cannon fodder, or we could be...fodder. We could send our forces to fight and die (as only humans can) against a ravening horde that was literally feeding on its interstellar conquests -- or remain as we were -- virtually weaponless and third in line for brunch. We chose to fight. Thanks to alien technology and sheer guts, the Terrans on two worlds fought the Posleen to a standstill. Thank God there was a moment to catch our breath, a moment, however brief, of peace -- Now, for the survivors of the Barwhon and Diess Expeditionary Forces, it was a chance to get some distance from the blood and misery of battle against the Posleen centaurs. A blessed chance to forget the screams of the dying in purple swamps and massacres under searing alien suns. For earth it was an opportunity to flesh out their force of raw recruits with combat-seasoned veterans. Political, military and scientific blundering had left the Terran forces in shambles -- and with the Posleen invasion only months away, these shell-shocked survivors might be the only people capable of saving the Earth from devastation. If the veterans had time to lick their wounds. Because the Posleen don't read schedules.

Review: Gust Front (Posleen War #2)

User Review  - Bryan Schmidt - Goodreads

3.5 stars. Ringo tried to do too much here for my taste. He got sidetracked in the middle on side characters with a battle none of our mains were involved in and never really got his focus back. It's ... Read full review

Review: Gust Front (Posleen War #2)

User Review  - Neda Stojkovic - Goodreads

I'm not even ten percent into the book, but I'm already at the eye roll stage. Seriously, this book is quite disgusting with saccharine american supremacy bull. Don't know if I'll finish it at this ... Read full review
