I really, really like most of John Ringo's books, but I'm afraid that "hateful" is the only word I can use to describe the "Kildar" series, of which "Ghost" is the first. It's one thing to "demonise" aliens, and make light of killing them, but when you transfer that hatred to real people and refer to them by derogatory names, as "Kildar" does to people of the Islamic faith, I think you've crossed a line that is a lot better "un-crossed". I honestly can't imagine who these books would appeal to - I don't think I'd like to meet them, whoever they are!
