In Unto The Breach, author John Ringo brings us another installment in the tale of Mike Harmon, ex-Navy Seal, Georgian Warlord, harem-keeper, multimillionaire, anti-Islamist, and all-around troubled good guy. This time, Mike's been asked by the President of the United States to clean up a little matter involving a kidnapped Russian micro-biologist and a stolen strain of pathogen so virulent that the President has authorized the use of nuclear weapons to destroy it should Mike fail to retrieve it.
Ringo breaks little new ground in this book, however the story of the Keldara remains as entertaining as it did starting back in book two. Casualties pile up in this episode, the ongoing sexual escapades continue (although they've been muted down to a very quiet dull roar compared to book number one) and the reader is entertained by the military hardware Mike continues to acquire. Two new characters are introduced in the persons of ex-military female helicopter pilots, and Mike suffers a personal tragedy that bodes ill for the Rite of the Kardane. Can the next book be very far behind? I'll be pre-ordering on Amazon yet again.
