Well, at long last, a new book review :) This time, it’s gonna be book three of John Ringo’s Ghost series, called Choosers of the Slain. I already reviewed the first two books, “Ghost” (which was the first post to my blog :) and “Kildar”.
In the first book we get to meet Mike Harmon, aka Ghost, and we get to witness the fun adventures of a guy who battles with himself every moment, trying to be happy while making sure that his sadist/dominant side doesn’t get out of hand.
Then, in Kildar, we get to meet the Keldara, an ancient group of people living in a valley somewhere in Georgia, valley which Mike ends up buying, before turning the Keldara into a mountain militia, which he ends up calling The Tigers of the Mountains.
On this third book, we get to witness the first full blown mission of the Tigers, when a “senior US Senator” calls Mike up and tells him that he needs him and his Tigers to find a particular girl in the slave trade rings in Easter Europe. He tells him she’s the daughter of a wealthy contributor and that he (the Senator) will consider it a personal favor if Mike finds her, and that the girl’s father will pay for Mike’s expenses.
The Kildar and the Keldara start tracking the girl following the clues that the Senator gave them with the “mission briefing”, and we get to follow their adventures as they take on the Albanian mob, who run most of the slave trade in the area, as well as the heroin traffick.
As things progress we find out why the Kildar was sent after Natasha…and things are not pretty. Mike and company find out (after their first hard mission taking an albanian “nightclub” down) that she has been taken to a very special whorehouse…one where rich and powerful people could buy girls to torture and kill for their pleasure. So…now the Tigers have to worry not only about the albanian mob trying to take them down, but also about getting to the place late enough for Natasha to be already dead.
After they get to the whorehouse…..I’ll leave it there :) The book’s storyline is great, and I don’t want to give you any hints…it’s going where you wouldn’t expect it to go :)
I’ll leave you with a quote from the book itself:
Sometimes it takes a bad man to destroy an even more terrible evil. And
the baddest of them all is Ghost. They’ll be sorry they made his girls cry.
