The seventh installment in the popular Carrera military science-fiction series.
Carrera's held off his enemies coming by sea from the north, in the process dealing the naval and amphibious forces of the Zhong Empire a stinging defeat. The Zhong won't soon forget the blood-stained waters and the heaped-up bodies on the shores of Balboa's Isla Real.
Now, though, his adopted country of Balboa is under assault from the east, from the south, from the west, from the air, and from space. The Zhong, smarting from the butchery around the island, have bounced back and forced a lodgment east of the capital. Their lodgment is still abuilding, but when it is done, Carrera can expect several hundred thousand brave and determined Zhong to show up on his barely defended flank.
The Taurans, remembering their military roots, have assaulted Balboa from the south, taking half the area of and cutting the Transitway that joins Terra Nova's Mar Fusioso and her Shimmering Sea. In the process, they've cut off and besieged the second city of the country, Cristobal, trapping inside the city Carrera's Fourth Corps and overrunning and capturing a large portion of Carrera's artillery train.
West of Cristobal, the Taurans have created, almost from scratch, a series of small ports and airfields to support their siege. Inside the town, a sense of desperation is growing among the men and women of the Fourth Corps: Has their leader forgotten about or abandoned them?
Meanwhile, another Tauran Expeditionary force secures Balboa's eastern neighbor, Santa Josefina, as a base against them. In space, the United Earth Peace Fleet, under the command of High Admiral Marguerite Wallenstein, keeps as low a profile as possible, all the time spying and feeding intelligence to both Zhong and Tauran.
It's beginning to look like the game is up for Balboa and Patricio Carrera. But Carrera's been planning this war for 15 years. He certainly hopes his enemies think they're winning.

very good addition to the series

And if, having read and taken seriously Kratman's warnings, the reader wonders what can be done to save ourselves from such a seemingly inevitable fate, the books give some guidance on what may be necessary in order to stop the scourge of liberal intersectionality.
Lest anyone think, based on the above, that the stories are dry and unexciting, I can most vehemently declare that they are not!
A Lesson in Liberalism

I really truly enjoy this story. Tickled pink is the expression that comes to mind..
Not much more to say really other then that its the continuation of the ongoing war from the previous books.
If those where your thing you will like this one to.
Only sad thing about this the audioversion is the narrators inability to pronounce certain words correctly, along with as far as I can figure his misreading of a few others. I have on the whole not been impressed with James Fouhey's prior narrative performance of this series, his narration of this book does not see him improve any.
Oh yeah @ T. Kratman,
I hope to see another book by you soon.
I have decided to take the fact that this book is only 15 hours long to indicate that another book is soon to follow.
Only 14h 55m.. Why Oh Why!? ;)

Of course, the entire series presents political ideas that many may not be comfortable with. The character development is really good and the story makes good sense. However its vital that you start with book one and go through them in order.
If I Had More Stars I'd Award Em to Col. Kratman
