Into the Looking Glass
When a 60-kiloton explosion goes off in Florida, authorities think terrorists have gotten hold of a nuclear weapon—except that no radiation is detected. Called to the White House to investigate is physicist and self-described redneck William Weaver.
He learns that the culprit is an interdimensional gateway, the result of a subatomic physics experiment gone bad. For the gates disgorge aliens, some friendly, some who annihilate every human in sight—and they’re spreading all over the world.
Teaming up with a SEAL Command Master Chief and a group of good ol’ boys with heavy artillery, Weaver must find a way to close the gates. If he fails, the “good” aliens will face a regrettable necessity: destroying the Earth to save their own worlds.

Solid entertainment and very interesting

Jumps right into the action and keeps a hold of you throughout. Concepts are very interesting and highly imaginative. Military aspects are well thought out and the dialogue is great. Well worth the read and it will make you want to continue on to the next in the series immediately.

Action, great charaterization, and the writer even sneaks in some way out science.
Must read for military SciFi fans.

It was great

I had a fun time reading it. The science was believable to the point I was a little scared of what humans might unknowingly be capable of. John Ringo is an enjoyable author to read.

Excellent Read

Typical science fiction book. Plenty of action. Little bit slow in the beginning. Best book in the series.

Didn't care for it at all :-(
October 16, 2007
Well, reading the other reviews, I appear to be in the minority, but I didn't care for this book at all. Having just come off reading Joe Haldeman's "Forever War" series and John Scalzi's "Old Man's War" trilogy, I found this book sorely lacking. Some of the ideas were interesting, but the characters weren't particularly well-defined, and the military and scientific jargon took over the story. There was aslo a jingoistic undercurrent that I found to be off-putting. I'm afraid this is probably the first and last of Ringo's novels I'll read.
