Product Description:
The Posleen are coming and the models all say the same thing: Without the Panama Canal, the US is doomed to starvation and defeat. Despite being overstretched preparing to defend the US, the military sends everything it has left: A handful of advanced Armored Combat Suits, rejuvenated veterans from the many decades that Panama was a virtual colony and three antiquated warships. Other than that, the Panamanians are on their own. Replete with detailed imagery of the landscape, characters and politics that have made the jungle-infested peninsula a Shangri-La for so many over the years, Yellow Eyes is a hard-hitting look at facing a swarming alien horde with not much more than wits and guts. Fortunately for the human race, the Panamanians, and the many veterans that think of it as a second home, have plenty of both.

First, I'm biased. I'm active-duty infantry (101st Airborne), a two-tour Iraq vet, politically am every bit as right-wing as John and Tom, and I occasionally correspond with both.
That being said, this was even better than "Watch on the Rhine", and I LOVED WOTR. Chronologically it happens during, as there is a hint when the Waffen-SS are listening to the Panamanian choir on the radio.
There are parts of this novel that made me laugh. There are parts that made me cry. In terms of human emotion, it's the deepest of the series across a broader spectrum. We rarely get in the heads of any other character in the Posleen Universe as deeply as we do this time, well, except for Mike O'Neal who I really think is John's alter ego. Speaking as one, there are few college-educated sergeants who think we can't handle a battalion command in combat without too much crossover training.
The sad footnote is that the USS Des Moines, ex-CA134, was scrapped in Texas after the book was published, efforts to save her as a museum ship having failed. That is just one more reason to think wistfully of a world where the big-gun warships sail again, and the space aliens have something that would make my back and knees work again.

I am stunned to see the number of five star reviews for this drivel. The humour is juvenile, characters cardboard, and action ho-hum. Toss in the odd pseudo-intellectual political rants and you have a memorably bad novel. Gives pulp a bad name.

I want my Posleen Wars books concerned with killing flesh eating monsters. Not rants against liberals. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but when it takes up a good chunk of the plot it really gets tiresome.

Really enjoyed the attention to detail and character devolepment,and The tactics and logistics presented in an easy to understand form. the graphic battle scenes are not for the faint of heart. very interesting developement of ai personalites with the battleships ai,s. I would say this book is second only to watch on the rhine in readability

Is it just me who finds the whole Posleen series a teeny bit confusing. i mean i like the whole concept, well done the Nazis on the Rhine and all that, but when are we actually going to kick the Posleen's butts, get rid of them off the earth and stop mucking around with the political metaphores. Now that said (and as a european, who other than the ex-Nazis are obviously all left wing tree huggers) i actually enjoyed this one. It's a good story and a good book, thank God Cally was not in it, but unfortunatley she is back in the subsequent one. By the way Amazon, why can't you make it easier to get the information on Boook 1 of X, Book 2 of X stuff presented to those of us who stuggle to follow these things.
Anyway i digress. If you enjoyed the very first two Posleen books and the Wactch on the Rhine one, then you will enjoy this one. My hopes for the future are 1) no more Cally, 2) a story that shows either the death of the earth or victory 3) and whichever that the authors remeber that the EU can actually fight and so can the Russian and Chineese, and might despite the lefties make a decent go of it.
