5/23/2023 0 Comments The hot gate by john ringo![]() ![]() The narration continues to be first rate and made it OK to just exist in Ringo's universe for a while, but I think one more strike and I might need to close this "gate." I enjoyed the first two books enough that I am OK that I listened to this one and will certainly try out the fourth book - I assume there will be at least one more book as this in no way wrapped up a trilogy. During the battle the story shifts abruptly to Butch, the space welder introduced in prior books, for a bit and then. The second story is the massive space battle seems to just happen toward the end of the book and Comet and her storyline mostly fades away. OK, that could have been fairly interesting for a chapter or two, but it goes on and on and on and (amazingly enough) doesn't really reach any sort of satisfying conclusion. The first story dealt with "Comet" Parker, a very interesting powerful female character dealing with working in a macho Latin American environment. There seemed to be two (or three?) very disjointed stories within this book and only one of them is interesting. ![]() The last 20% of the book is very exciting but I'm not sure it is worth the buildup. ![]()
