Helpful Score: 3

For "no excuses" bone snapping, bloody brain-spattering, joyous mayhem, John Ringo's ex-SEAL hero known as "Ghost" is a killing machine. Lots and lots of almost believable action. (For the real thing read anything by Navy SEAL Captain Richard Marchinco- a true American Hero VERY badly treated by limp dicked bureaucrats- but that's another story.) About a third of the way into a great read, Ringo loses it and starts a totally unbelievable descent into BDSM porn. I couldn't believe it- I know some of the real people he models his "Ghost" character after, and believe me, THIS AIN'T THEM! He got his fingers burnt as his follow-up Ghost book "Kildar", (A much more professional job, and a really tough one to put down.), almost completely avoided the crudities in the "Ghost" book.
