Publisher's summary

A new addition to the Kildar military adventure series created by John Ringo. Sequel to Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain and Unto the Breach.

After saving America from Middle Eastern terrorists, even Mike Harmon and the Keldara could use a vacation. Of course, the Kildar's idea of a vacation includes taking down pirates in the Singapore Straits. But when he finds computer chips designed to run nuclear reactors in the pirate booty, Harmon has a new mission thrust upon him - discover how bottom-feeding thieves got their hands on top-secret technology.

The chips are headed for newly democratic Myanmar, a country vital to American interests in the region. Now Harmon finds himself in a desperate race to learn who stole the chips and why.

From glittering Hong Kong to the slums of Thailand to the swamps of Myanmar, Harmon and his Keldara team follow a trail of death and deceit across the glittering underbelly of Southeast Asia. And as the path winds through dark jungle and slave labor camps to the heart of newborn democracy, Harmon must devise a way to prevent the nasty overthrow of a nation's capital by totalitarian tyrants. But if there's one thing Mike and the Keldara specialize in, it's doing what it takes to give freedom a chance.

A great story by a master author

John Ringo is a favorite author. He should write more books and publish more often.

overall good

it was in line with previous books and had plenty of action but left so much open.
I thought this book would tie up all the loose ends and put a bow on the series. Nope. And it even ended abruptly. Good book, just don't look for an epilogue to any of the female story arcs.

Very good book

I read some bad reviews about this book but having followed the series I decided to ignore them. Having listened to this book I can honestly say that it was superb... I highly recommend it... A bug thanks to the writers for entertaining me!

One of the best series I have enjoyed!

The only problem that I might have with the story/series is that there are no more Kildar adventures to enjoy!

I really wish the author would would revisit the storyline!

Another fantastic Kildar book!

So sad this is the last book in this series, I love these books so much. This is another great story and what a thrill ride.

Time to let it go

A stellar performance. One of the best narrators I've listened to. As for the story, Ringo has lost the edge. His earlier Ghost books were much better; they had a well defined plot, not simply an apparently rambling conglomeration of sex and violence. Ringo now appears to be writing for money, not his fans. It is time to let Ghost go back to Georgia and retire.

Nicely Done Series. More beer less sex.

I found myself genuinely interested in the characters and its difficult to believe it was read by one person. Jeremy Arthur did a great job.

It is an interesting thriller that engages the listener, but is misfiled as a Sci Fi book.
I am still glad to have purchased the entire series.

If I ever saw Mountain Tiger Beer I would probably buy a case irrespective of the cost. The author and Narrator did a great job of selling the stuff. Perhaps some vertical marketing opportunities available there.
