Interpretation Concering Books Kildar (Paladin of Shadows #2)
Problems, problems, problems! All Mike Harmon ever wanted to be was a SEAL. But after problems in the teams, college student was a decent second best. However, trouble seemed to follow him where he went. Now, after having angered every terrorist on Earth and at least five governments, buying a farm in a third world country was looking pretty good. Of course, nothing was ever simple. With Chechen terrorists knocking on the door and tenant farmers with a truly Byzantine culture, the question was whether he could drag the keldara into the 21st century before the Chechen put them back in the 6th. Kildar answers the question: Where would an international security specialist and former SEAL choose to retire—if he's going to buy the farm, it should be one with beautiful women and the best beer in the world. Valhalla on Earth complete with Vikings.

There are interesting elements in this book, but it strikes me as untidy in plot, and doesn't really seem to get anywhere. I haven't read any other John Ringo, so I don't know if this is emblematic, or situational.First, this is unvarnished male fantasy. The Gor books are actually mentioned at one point. This is tough guys blowing stuff up, saving the day, and getting lots of female action.I would say the biggest issue with this book is that there's no try/fail cycle to speak of. I kept waitingThis book slid well to the half that detailed Mike the counter-intelligence agent rather than Mike the Dom. That's not to say that aspect of Mike's character was ignored, not by any means. Mike buys a valley in Georgia, the country not the state, in order to lay low, regenerate after multiple missions, and enjoy his wealth accumulated by destroying terrorists and retrieving WMD's. The valley includes a manor and farming village complete with retainers. We learn that the farmers, the Keldara's,
Kildar is the second book in John Ringos Paladin of Shadows series and make no mistake the military adventure/porn format is still there in full force. What makes this book stand out from the previous book is that it seems like mostly exposition for the books that come after it. There is a good deal of action in the story, but it does not throw you headlong into it like the first one did. In the first book you go from a rescue mission behind enemy lines to stumbling onto a terrorist plot while
"We greet our new Kildar. Let him be proud of the peoples he now leads. And let us give thanks to the Father of All that a true Kildar has returned."John Ringo has a rather unique manner of writing that has me literally wanting to eat right out of his hands. This prose is some of the best I've read and yes I've read quite a bit. Thus when I say that John has a manner in which readers will enjoy, I find that I enjoy his work quite a bit. John's 'Paladin of Shadows' series is almost a work of
Any attempt to learn anything from these books is disrecommended by the author, the publisher and the author's mother who wishes to state that he was a very nice boy and she doesn't know what went wrong.
This was the second in a series. The action wasn't as "edge of your seat" but the sex was not as violent and graphic which made up for it. This author truely has a male fantasy character going on here. He kills terrorists and can do just about anything physically despite not being a young man. He also manages to always be saving beautiful young women whom he quite often has sex with and they are always eternally grateful and ready to follow him everywhere.In this book he ends up with a harem. I
The second book in the Paladin of Shadows book was much better than the first. For one thing, the main character doesn't rape anyone. Admittedly, I could do without the having sex with the 16 and 17 year old girls; it didn't do anything for me, but presumably Ringo is trying to be a little realistic in his portrayal of how an ex-military man with a sadistic streak that he tries to control would handle having future prostitutes thrust upon him. In this book, the protagonist buys a lot of farm and
