The Last Centurion
by John Ringo

Centurions were the guardians of Rome. At the height of the Roman Republic there were over five thousand qualified Roman Centurions in the Legions. To be a Centurion required that, in a mostly illiterate society, one be able to read and write clearly, to be able to convey and create orders, to be capable of not only performing every skill of a Roman soldier but teach every skill of a Roman soldier.

Becoming a Centurion required intense physical ability, courage beyond the norm, years of sacrifice and a total devotion to the philosophy which was Rome. When Rome fell to barbarian invaders, there were less than five hundred qualified Centurions. Not because Rome had fewer people but because it had fewer willing to make the sacrifices. And the last Centurions left their shields in the heather and took a barbarian bride . . .

We are . . . The Last Centurions.

And this Rome SHALL NOT FALL!

I really enjoyed this book, especially the first person voice. It reminded me of Roger Zelazny's books.

Being a fan of Mr. Ringo, I dutifully started it ... to be bored out of my mind before the end of chapter 2. Strange, I rather enjoyed the Ghost series, but this "Mr I am Fab" just bored me. Never reached the so called good fights, don't care really ... I think it's the ranting that finally made me give up ...

OK John. Thanks for ranting and providing some truth. Many will find it unpalatable but in any guise its truth rings. That said. I found it extremely truthful. In more ways then many here will know, from my own personal experiences. Good job again and you really need to visit Russia with me sometime. That whole banya thing will do you good. LOL. I found 2 things I didn't agree with in the first section. Only 2! And I did my own checking. For those out there that disagree with Johns rant. How about reading history. How about reading and understanding simple economics. Pitiful really what supposedly smart people actually believe in. My advice? Read history. Read how it has a tendency to repeat itself across all nations. For you other idiots out there. Liberalism isnt the theme of this book. It's a case of reaccuring history, and it's about ideology and beliefs that have failed through history. Did you not get anything out of his references to the Romans? *SIGHS* It just goes forward from there. History has a very bad tendency of repeating itself my friends. The bad mostly and some of the good. What I really loved about this book is John went to great pains to NOT mark any known liberal. That in my opinion took guts. So I say to all of you out there that disagree with the theme of his latest great work. Show us in history that he is WRONG! You can't though. And that in itself is a very sad thing indeed. Equally sad is the fact that you can't change the mind of a liberal. They know they are right no matter what happens. It must always be someone elses fault. I've seen this so many times it's absolutely pathetic.

I really enjoyed this one by John Ringo. After the swine flu "scare" caused by the MSM this winter, the first person view and ongoing commentary on what could happen if a major flu strain or other super-virus hits hard was a really interesting read. I've always liked and appreciated his understanding of military points of view and culture. Bandit Six stands out above even Ghost as an outstanding military character for me. I have to disagree with the complaints about the propaganda/conservative slant in TLC- there's is definitely as much or more in the Paladin of Shadows series (the Ghost books) and honestly, if you think John's character's views are bad I don't recommend reading Tom Kratman's A Desert Called Peace. Which by the way is an excellent read- just not for the warm fuzzies half the reviewers seem to want from their authors.

As an ex-military person I can say that this is an incredible read. It points out the issues that many people fail to see in today's society. I recommend this to anyone who wants to get inside the head of someone serving in the military.

This is one of those books that every one should be forced to read. If nothing else it will make you think(if your capable of that). and most of the stuff talked about just happens to be similar to OMG reality. what a quinikydink in a fiction book.

Never made it to part 2. This totally sucked. It was one long, excruciating, unending preach session. Someone now needs to write the response to this, though, just to make things fair. It needs to be some poor sod in a work gang reminiscing about the time he had a job as a computer tech at a bank or something until the shit hit the fan and all the conservatives' mistakes and bungling caught up to them. In part two, he invents a machine that turns lawyers honest, CEO's ethical, politicians trustworthy, and doctors care about healing more than about making loads of money. Bad, huh? Fanciful? Idiotic? So was this book. Please don't do it again.

Like the other comments I was put off by the blatant right wing slant of this novel. I’m more a “middle of the road” type person myself and found the liberal bashing far to repetitive. Ok Mr Ringo is guilty of this in most of his novels but usually it is rather amusing rather than repetitively boring. Also as I’m not an American I found the cultural arrogance a bit much, again John is guilty of this in many of his novels, and i usually just put it down to him being a “patriot” and ignore it but in this case I ended up putting the novel down instead. John Ringo writes excellent military science fiction capturing the camaraderie that makes up small units and hence the backbone of the military. it’s a shame he can’t experiment with more political “flavours” for his political science fiction. Which this blatantly is. If you aren’t an American and a conservative I would give this one a miss. Go read one of his other books!!

Libertarian propaganda in drag. Good plot, terrible moralizing, and I happen to agree with most of his points. Way too heavy a hand. And Ayn Rand is a snooze?
