much less graphic sex scenes in this one

The first book had a graphic sex and rape scene in it and although the main character does some pretty bad things and thinks bad things also its not that bad, this one has a little scene about S&M and some young girls all over 18 maybe over 21 not sure, but again like the first book just skip this because the story is great.

Mike cant seem to get a brake here and every time he gets into the shit as it were he comes out pretty badly hurt but has lots of money to show for it, this time he decided to take a trip into the mountains and he ends up buying the whole place and spending some money to outfit a militia for his protection.

This whole series goes pretty well other than the graphic sex and rape scenes but those are almost gone by the 3rd book, although they are replaced with normal sex scenes not to much graphic much different though.

Again if you just skip over the graphic sex/rape scenes you should really like this whole series

good storyline

John Ringo does it again kill dollar is great Navy Seals most liked all that good advertising

Best Ringo Book

Would you listen to Kildar again? Why?

Yes- in fact I have. This is by far my favorite John Ringo book. Has all of his best literary tricks without being either being mildly absurd or over the top which can happen to him at times. Not that I am complaining I enjoy all his books. Occasionally I just say... Really?... this one just sounds crazy- super soldier just happens to buy a castle in obscure country who's tenant farmers are a long lost tribe of soldiers looking for a leader?... Really?... but still awesome.

Old Friend

Have listened to it many times. Something new each time !!! Greatful for the effort. Peace

I like John Ringp

can't think of anything at all. Certainly not fighting words worth. Do you know how many times I had to use back space?

So much fun to listen too!

Would you listen to Kildar again? Why?

This listen was my third, and I've read the book a few times. The narrator is very good, and the story - once disbelief is firmly suspended - is a rush. Its very different in style from Ghost as Mike builds his future and develops relationships with his new team.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I don't think it could have been. The first time I heard about John Ringo was in a an online review titled, "Oh No, John Ringo". I don't take the character's point of view, sexual proclivities, or general lack of political correctness seriously. Kind of like watching an Expendables movie - sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

What does Jeremy Arthur bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

There are a lot of characters and he does a great job with the pacing and different voices.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed, probably at very inappropriate times.

Any additional comments?

I've read all 6 books in the series and plan to get all of them on Audible.

entertaining with just enough smut

I rather enjoyed it. even the boring parts. I think it was definitely be finishing the series

fuck BOND

James Bond has nothing on this guy, I was pleasantly surprised on how the author slowly maneuvered the story into something unexpected & I hope the roughly base on real history
looking forward to the next book

great story
