Description: Key Selling Points- New York Times best-selling author John Ringo is the hottest writer to hit military science fiction since David Weber. In just a few years, his reputation--and sales--have skyrocketed.- Each novel in the Posleen War series has massively outsold the one before, with the third, When the Devil Dances, reaching the New York Times best-seller list. Look for Hell's Faire to continue the trend and take all the national best-seller lists by storm. Booklist called A Hymn Before Battle "practically impossible not to read in one sitting." Many readers have overwhelmingly seconded the motion for that novel, and the sequels.- The first novel in this series, A Hymn Before Battle, has an 88% sellthrough in the October 2001 mass market edition. Gust Front, the second novel in the series, has an 86% sellthrough in hardcover, while the mass market edition, released in April 2002, currently has a sellthrough in the high 80's.- Ringo has collaborated with David Weber on the topselling Prince Roger series (March Upcountry, March to the Sea, and March to the Stars so far), and has become a familiar name to Weber's huge audience. He also is a frequent commentator on Fox News and writes Op-Ed columns for the New York Post.- Ringo had visited 23 countries by the time he graduated high school, and later served in the 82nd Airborne. His experience with other countries and cultures comes into play in creating believable extra-terrestrial civilizations and societies, and his years in the military give both his descriptions of military men and women and the strategy and battle scenes in his novels a three-dimensional reality that few other writers can match.
