The Hot Gate: Troy Rising III - Review
The Hot Gate:Troy Rising III by John Ringo follows Live Free or Die and Citadel into what is called the Troy Rising series. The series covers the events after Earth gets an interestellar gate, galactic tech and some new enemies. The fight continues on the third book, with extra battlestations being built. The main focus is on the Termopylae, which - in a possibly offensive way to all south americans - is filled with incompetent spacers from Argentina, Chile, Equador and other south american countries. Apparently they are useless because of their culture. I guess since Ringo kept Brazil off the list, I can't be nearly as offended... Another AI breakdown happens (apparently they are a lot buggier than initially apparent, as one breaks down per book since the 1st...), Tyler and Dana Parker's relationship continues to develop, and as usual there is a massive battle to end the book. Pretty good, as usual,
