Now humans have battled back from the conquest by a tyrannical alien species to become a force to reckon with in the galaxy. On a crash-building course, humanity has created a near-impregnable battlestation of Deathstar proportions to prove it. But the enemy is remorseless and to survive humans must take the fight to the heart of their empire and prevail-a feat no previous species has ever accomplished. Instead, the bones and burnt hulks of those who have tried litter the star-ways. But these galactic imperialists have never contended with humans, a foe who is their match in sheer ferocity and desire to win. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Troy Rising series: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[I]nfused with plenty of old-fashioned two-fisted can-do attitude . . .\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[I]rresistible action-sf . . .[filled with] Ringo's amazingly fertile imagination.\" -\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout John Ringo: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[O]ne of the best...practitioners. . .of military SF.\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[F]ast-paced military SF peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse\" -\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[Ringo's work] \"attains a terrible beauty not unlike that of the Norse Eddas...\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo.\" -\u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Weekly Press\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451638189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.40w x 1.40d","brand":"John Ringo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271861239989,"sku":"9781451638189","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f3e39583-adf8-456a-9d88-1e5eed505c6c.jpg?v=1699957807","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hot-gate-9781451638189","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
