Well guys, I have read both of those and I am still not a John Ringo apologist
I'm glad you found something you like to read though.
For the
Empire of Man, IIRC it was competently written, but coming from a former colony, I'm not a fan of books where the heroes just blow away the wogs without any kind of nuance.
Council Wars to me was just boring. For the level of technology that was supposedly available, the uses it was put to was banal and uninteresting. I also didn't buy the characters. In fact, I have no idea why Ringo ever tries to write about back-stabbing schemers. He's probably such a straight forward, charge-up-the-middle kind of stud that he just doesn't have the sympathy and introspection to truly understand someone like that.
